A seemingly cursed Egyptian archaeological dig... An Acting Director with a clouded reputation... Rumors of treasure hidden in the dig house... Two vicious murders...
Stage psychic Sandra Caulder feels as if she has gone out of the frying pan and into the fire. On the run from a vengeful ex-boyfriend, she heads for the least likely place she can think of – Egypt. Her niece is working on a dig there, but Sandra is told she cannot stay. Right after her arrival, though, a very unpleasant Egyptologist is murdered and as she is the prime suspect, Sandra is told she cannot leave. Forced to work in menial jobs at the dig house, she comes across evidence of treasure having been hidden in what is now the mummy storage room. As gold fever infects the crew, there is another murder for which Sandra is suspected. Which of the crew is the killer, and who else must die before he is caught?
Well done. Really enjoyed the assortment of characters, and there's a fair amount of humor in the phrasing and situations. It's pretty cozy, all taking place in a house where an archeological crew is housed. If you read it, don't skip over the interesting end notes about the location and setting!
Interesting glimpse into the world of archeology accompanied by well written characters and a great plot. This is defiantly not another plot recycled for the umpteenth time in a slightly different setting! It is fresh, original, and interesting with character growth I could enjoy and appreciate. I. Couldn't. Put. It. Down. Well written, well researched, well done!
