Le Chiffre de Cléopâtre: Un Thriller D’Adrian West (Adrian West Aventures t. 1)

The blend of history and fiction really drew me in, but I wonder if the author drew from specific historical sources or took creative liberties.

The story was so engaging at the start and end, but I found myself losing interest during some of the detailed historical explanations—was that intentional?

The story felt well-researched but also creatively free. I'm curious about how much was planned versus developed during writing.
