Publisher Comments:

Thirty-one-year-old Victorian gentlewoman Amelia Peabody has not only inherited her father's fortune, but she is also blessed with his strong will as well. Now she's headed for Cairo, accompanied by a girl with a tarnished past, to indulge her passion for Egyptology. Little did she know that murder and a homicidal mummy lay in wait for her.

What delightful characters! I especially love Amelia Peabody and I am so pleased there are more of these! I haven't been this excited about a mystery series since Agatha Christie :)

What a fun book! This my first Amelia Peabody mystery and it won't be my last. Peabody is a pluckier version of Nancy Drew for adults and I've been completely sucked in. The writing is smart, funny, suspenseful, and descriptive without being wordy or boring. I'm hooked! 5 stars.
