Summary

In "The Egyptian Cat Mystery," Harold L. Goodwin masterfully intertwines elements of historical fiction and mystery, inviting readers into a captivating narrative set against the backdrop of ancient Egypt. The book's prose balances vivid descriptions with a rhythmic pacing, drawing readers into a world filled with intrigue and the complexities of ancient societal hierarchies. The plot centers around the enigmatic disappearance of a sacred feline, a metaphorical representation of the cultural significance of cats in Egyptian society, exploring themes of loyalty, power, and the interplay between humanity and the divine. Harold L. Goodwin, a noted Egyptologist and author, draws upon his extensive academic background and field experiences to infuse authenticity into his storytelling. His passion for ancient civilizations, coupled with his keen observations of modern-day parallels, enriches the narrative, transforming it into more than just a mystery; it is a lens through which readers can examine historical perspectives and cultural values. Goodwin's previous works reflect a deep commitment to illuminating the complexities of ancient cultures, making him uniquely suited to bring this particular story to life. I highly recommend "The Egyptian Cat Mystery" to lovers of historical fiction and mystery alike. Its intricate plotting, combined with profound insights into ancient Egyptian culture, makes for a compelling read that not only entertains but also educates. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado of ancient history or new to the genre, Goodwin's work promises to engage and inspire.

Old sins have long shadows ~ Italian Proverb 
Giulia Tofana never wanted to be a nun, but she is determined to atone for her past misdeeds by making her new monastery a success. 
When an unexpected disaster closes the convent, Giulia is forced to turn to her old friend Fabio Pasello for help. Giulia still has intense feelings for Fabio and Fabio’s passion for her has never diminished. 
But they are not the same people they were before. Giulia has taken her vows, and Fabio is apprenticed to Gianlorenzo Bernini the famous sculptor, and has become one of Bernini’s rakish libertines. They could not be further apart. 
To add to their problems, Giulia cannot escape her reputation as a poisoner, and is soon embroiled in a plot against Fabio’s patron, Pope Urban VIII. Faced with the idea of murder, will Giulia renounce her vows or embrace them? 
Inspired by true stories, this is a novel of nuns and courtesans, artists and priests, in the shadow and splendour of the Eternal City. 
'Swift is a consummate historical novelist, basing her books on immaculate research and then filling the gaps between real events and real people with eloquent storytelling, atmospheric scene setting and imaginative plot lines.' - The Visitor
