Description
It's 1903 in Cairo, and Amelia dreams of a large Egyptian cat, a sign of good luck. But the luck turns when she and Emerson, who are set to dig in the Valley of the Kings, receive an ominous warning: "Stay away from tomb Twenty-A!" More trouble brews as Ramses and Nefret, unknown to their parents, begin to sneak about to help an American who believes she's being stalked. When tomb Twenty-A reveals a mummy wearing silk unmentionables, Amelia is trapped in a labyrinth of murder, passion and deceit.

These books are fun to read. I love the books in the Amelia Peabody series - not just for the mystery at the heart of each book but for the characters she writes so well. I enjoy this lively family she has described throughout the series and look forward to see how each of them ages and matures, or doesn't. I also enjoy being immersed in the politics and difficulties of late 19th/early 20th century Egyptology; reading the day to day descriptions of the commitment and intensity and sheer backbreaking work on a dig; the humor and passion of the family who made it their lifes' work to find and responsibly document the tombs of the ancient egyptians and through those discoveries get a glimpse into the life and times of the pharoahs. All of this while facing untold dangers and solving a murder or two. When the series ended I missed the family, but then I remembered as with all books, one can simply turn back to page 1 and begin again.
