conulyNot much to say other than that if you liked Witness for the Dead you'll like this one.
One content warning which I don't remember seeing on the book (well, ebook) or before buying - the core mystery deals with a child pornography ring. Addison doesn't write any of the disgusting details, but nevertheless, it seems likely that some readers might not want to head into that unwarned.
There is also a tomb with a murder monster. It seems like people shouldn't need to be told that if they ritually create a murder monster to guard their treasures, the very first thing the monster will do is murder them and not let any of their fellows in to reclaim the treasures after, so it's probably better to just get a good safe and trust in the power of locks. But apparently some people do need to be told. Alas! The warning came just a bit too late. How you can be smart enough to theoretically create a murder monster as a guard dog but then dumb enough to actually go through with it, I just don't know.
