Hi Alison, I have read The God Of Chaos by Tom Bradby and it was absolutely brilliant. It was a good mystery and thriller, but had such good characters and lots of detail about Cairo too, but it wasn't boring with too many facts. I can highly recommend this book and keep meaning to try some more of his, so I was glad to read that you had enjoyed a different one.
