Der Fluch des Pharaonengrabes

Fast paced, fun loving, Egyptian mystery!

Amelia Peabody is at it again! She and her archaeologist husband are solving crimes and tombs are not the only thing they are digging for. If you need a good chuckle, or a great mystery that will keep you guessing until the last couple of pages, then you have found your poison. The Emerson's just want a quiet digging season, but with a curse, missing persons and possibly a murder, it is anything but. Add in a damsel in distress, and a woman who thinks she is Egyptian royalty reincarnate, and it makes for one digging season for the books.. literally. As they work through the disturbances, a reporter has made a nuisance of himself through asking questions and reporting back on their to-do's. He somehow always manages to be in the right place at the wrong time.

These delightful mysteries will leave you wanting more and hooked from the first page to the last! I love these mysteries but of course reading about anything Egyptian is fascinating! Buckle up for a fun ride and enjoy the adventure!! You won't be sorry!

This is not one of my favourites of the series. Much of the story consists of a convoluted murder mystery that doesn't fascinate me. However, the character interactions are mildly entertaining, and the brief appearances of Amelia's young son Ramses in Chapters 1 and 2 are hilarious—although he doesn't appear again until the next book.
