According to the book synopsis, The Riddle of the labyrinth is a "mesmerising archaeological detective story, brilliantly told in all its triumphant detail". I couldn't agree more.
I'm very impressed by what Margalit Fox was able to do: she wrote about a highly technical topic, making it not only understandable, but even exciting, while keeping the necessary accuracy and avoiding oversimplifications.
Margalit Fox does an awesome job in telling the lives of two extraordinary people, Ventris and Kober; their challenge to complete an almost impossible task becomes an epic and passionate quest, that gave meaning and purpose to their lives and is a source of inspiration to the readers.
