A classic Amelia Peabody mystery. We get a few interesting twists in this one : Evelyn and Walter join Amelia and Emerson in the search for a Queen's royal Tomb and Amelia picks up two other stray : Sir Edward a young man who no doubt will turn up again much like O'Connell the journalist and David the young Egyptian boy who becomes Ramses blood brother. The Egyptology part was interesting, a bit too much of fluffy fill out for my taste in this one. Still not a bad read but I won't be getting into an Elizabeth Peters mystery for a few months.
