Amelia Peabody is at it again! She and her archaeologist husband are solving crimes and digging up tombs. These delightful mysteries will leave you wanting more and hooked from page one to the last! I love these mysteries and of course reading about anything Egyptian is fascinating!

While occasionally Amelia Peabody can be an irritating character this is also her strength. She's a believable character, full of flaws and foibles and quite likely to deliver a stern lecture to you about stepping in the way of danger while efficiently bandaging you. Sir Henry Baskerville has disc...

Their mutual love for their son has prevented them from returning to Egypt for further excavations, since they are concerned about his health. Ultimately, a youn...
