Pamela M. (Pyan) reviewed on 6/7/2005 + 106 more book reviews

This book is the introduction to Amelia Peabody, a wealthy heiress who traveled to Eygpt after her father died to see for her own eyes the wonders there. She rescued Evelyn, a young woman in dire straits. Once they made it there and before they journeyed down the Nile, they met the Emerson brothers. Then their journey became very interesting ~~ there seem to be a mummy trying to scare them off the evacuation site or maybe it was a kidnapping plot. But no one was sure just who the victim was ...

This is a great beginning to the Peabody series ~~ it's fun and entertaining with that famous dry British wit. It's clean fun too ~~ not bloody or gory like a lot of today's mystery novels are.

Once you read this book, you'll be hooked onto her series!
