Death Shall Come: A Country House Murder Mystery by Simon R. Green

4.0

Ishmael Jones and Penny are definitely two characters that readers will want to know about in this unique, genre-bending mystery from author Simon R. Green. This is a great entry-point into the series, even though it is book four. Readers will be intrigued by this unique brew of story that has elements of sci-fi, Egyptology, and mystery all rolled into one.
Not having read any of the books previously in this series, I really enjoyed the character of Jones and Penny. Green definitely handles nuance well in not giving the reader too much information about what happened in previous books, but enough to pique interest in going on to read other books in the series. It's a winner for this reader and I'll be buying it for my as well as going back to the beginning and reading more. Interesting story!
