I also have quite liked Lynda S Robinson's Lord Meren series and Lauren Haney's Lieutenant Bak series. And also, although much more whimsical and cozy, I really really like T Lee Harris' short and inexpensive Huti/Neffi (Sitehuti and Nefer-Djenou-Bastet) series. Especially, for the Huti/Neffi series, if you like cats. And there are some one-offs: Agatha Christie's
Death Comes as the End, of course, and Carol Thurston's
The Eye of Horus, which bops back and forth between ancient Egypt and modern times, and made me cry - in a good way - a bit. And, if you are willing to go for more recent ("British Protectorate" Egypt), I adore and laugh myself silly over Michael Pearce's Mamur Zapt series.
Oh, and if you want to branch out from ancient Egypt, but stay ancient, NL Holmes' Empire at Twilight series is set in the Hittite empire of around 1250 BCe, and I've never run into any other books set then/there. I've read two or three of those and liked them.
