The Painted Queen

Amelia Peabody is back for one final adventure, and it is beyond fabulous!

When Amelia and her husband head back to Egypt, she is shocked when a man drops dead in her bathroom. Not knowing why this person was trying to kill her, she and Emerson head on to their dig site, while trying to solve the mystery.
While there, they encounter their usual round of suspects, Sethos is back but in a much different role, and the Father of Curses still knows how to command an audience...

I had to read this in one sitting, it was a fabulous book, and I absolutely loved it!

While this book was not finished by Elizabeth Peters, due to her death, Joan Hess did a great job in completing the manuscript, and doing her best to follow the writing style of Ms. Peters. While I could detect subtle instances in where they differed, it was an enjoyable read, and I am greatly going to miss the escapades of the Emerson family.
