I have enjoyed all of this series, though some of the books stand out more than others. This is one of the best books in the series—very cleanly written, almost three books in one, with just the right balance of action, adventure, mystery, espionage, Egyptology, and romance. She also set up the next book well, making me itch to start it right away.
