"The Soul Scarab" by C.J. Turner

****
Echoes of an ancient murder ripple down the millennia to disrupt the lives of a motley group of people who discover disquieting connections to the past.
Each of them hide a secret, but are occult forces really at work, or is it human treachery that threatens them - and which will prove worse?
To solve the mystery, they must accept a quest not to find an ancient artifact, but to lose one, with danger following close behind as they race to discover the terrifying secret of a hidden tomb deep in the Theban hills of Egypt.
Drawn ever deeper into a tragedy that took place over three thousand years ago, survival hangs in the balance as they seek the true meaning of the Soul Scarab.

I don't understand how there is barely a 2 star rating...This book was amazing!!!! Fantastic is referring to Ancient Egyptian artifacts in a archaeological manner. The story line going from ancient times to present times is just fantastic. The characters are addicting, powerful, and  beautiful..well some of them. I loved the adventure into Ancient Egypt and just really enjoyed it!!! Would love to read more!!!!! Thanks for a great read!
