Summary
Beneath a Burning Sky is a beautiful and gripping story of love, betrayal and mystery, set against the heat and intrigue of colonial Alexandria. Perfect for fans of Kate Furnivall, Lucinda Riley and Victoria Hislop.
The shores of Alexandria, 1891
Olivia Sheldon has travelled across the world to marry a man she does not love. Reluctant to leave England but coerced into the marriage, Olivia's reward is being reunited with her estranged sister, Clara. Her punishment is falling impossibly and illicitly in love with the enigmatic Captain Edward Bertram.
Then one scorching day Clara is abducted from Alexandria's busiest street. Desperate to find her sister - and the truth about her disappearance - Olivia becomes embroiled in Egypt's shadowy underworld, risking both her life and future with Edward. Because, determined as Olivia is to find Clara, there are others who will stop at nothing to conceal what's become of her....

A great read
A superb plot, well written and brilliantly narrated with a shocking insight into the days of the empire. I couldn't put it down - I will miss it.

Fantastic
Really enjoyed this, especially the setting, the story between Olivia and Edward, and the mystery (it kept me guessing until the end.) Have recommended it to others.

Too long
Although the story was interesting it was too drawn out for me. Kept zoning out.
