Violet is back in her fourth book! This time featuring a topic that is really dear to me, Egypt!
I am a bit sad about the format of the book, I have the other books in hardcover, but it seems that this one only came out in paperback. :( Eh, at least it isn't as bad as a cover switch.
The book starts off at Violet's place, but of course there is never a time to rest for Violet and her friends, the next case is already peeking around the corner. But first there is a surprise visit from Violet's aunt + her niece (Agnes). But as soon as things start to move along a mummy is stolen and, duh, Violet can't just leave it alone. She has to find out what happened, if not for her aunt, if just to solve the mystery.
I have to say I was first a bit worried this book would just take place in England. While I do love the visits to the museum, and the mystery was a delight, I still was hoping we would visit Egypt. Thankfully, that is what happens around midway in the story. Egypt! My favourite country! It was great fun to see it through Violet's eyes, hear about famous sights, see her (and her grandma and niece) go visit them. Of course, the mystery is there as well! What a delight!
I didn't quite like Agnes at first. She was highly annoying, thought she could just anything and get away with it (bleh), but later on I started liking her more and more. She was really brave, plus she is quite a deadly weapon. :P And I just can't resist a kick-ass girl!
I liked the fact that the story split up when they reached Egypt. You have Violet's POV from Egypt and what happens there, and then you have PC Green (our kind, but giant idiot) and Violet's friends in England who are also trying to figure out things from there. It was fun to read it from two POV (and exciting).
Who the thieves were? And how everything was connected? Just like our gang, I had my suspects. And as the story progressed I could connect things even better. Though I have to say I didn't see that one twist coming. :P I always love it when authors write their mysteries well and make sure it isn't easily guessable (plus add some nice twists).
And just like all the other Violet books, this one is filled to the brim with fun illustrations by Becka Moor. <3
Mm, what more, I think I have mentioned all I wanted to mention. I just want to say that I hope that Violet will have many more mysteries, as I don't want this series to end just yet. I can't wait to see what the next mystery will be about.
I would recommend this book to everyone. Mummies, mystery, Egypt, oh my!

This is a fun mystery set in England and Egypt.
Violet Remy-Robinson is proud of her crime-solving friends. Rose Art and PC Green have solved several mysteries, and when a Mummy vanishes, they are on it. Egyptologists from across the world are racing each other to find Queen Nefertiti's tomb and all its treasures, which creates a problem for the detectives. Violet and her friends must look for more clues to discover who is behind the thefts. Like all good mysteries, things are not as they seem.
Recommended for readers aged eight years and older.

A brilliantly fun caper that sees Violet and her friends travelling through the world of stolen antiquities and a stolen mummy, leading them to Egypt! These books are lots of fun and jam packed with excellent vocabulary and facts!

El primer libro que leí de la serie de Violeta. Este libro me lo trajo mi mamá de la feria del libro de Guadalajara del 2022, y luego me gustó mucho entonces mi mamá me compró otro y lo buscamos en la feria del libro de Mérida pero no lo encontramos.

Violet and the mummy mystery is a really enjoyable book.I think it's aimed at a reading age of 7-10 but really anyone can pick up this book and enjoy it. This book to me is 5 star quality.

Antes de nada, desde Mundo Gamusino queremos agradecer a la editorial Blume su colaboración con el blog y el envío del ejemplar para su reseña. Nos ha gustado mucho conocer a Violeta y nos ha parecido un libro muy bueno para los peques de la casa (9-10años).
Violeta es una joven que ya ha resuelto varios casos ayudando al agente Pérez, el policía responsable de dichas investigaciones. En este caso, nos encontramos con la desaparición de una momia que podría conducir al descubrimiento de la tumba de Nefertiti.
La ambientación nos ha gustado mucho, ya que varía entre Londres y El Cairo, y la verdad es que en algunos momentos nos ha teletransportado a las diferentes ciudades. Aunque es cierto que Londres no está muy descrita, sí se habla mucho del Museo Británico, mundialmente conocido y que nosotros hemos tenido la oportunidad de visitar.
En cuanto al desarrollo de la historia, este nos ha parecido muy ameno y muy fácil de leer, siendo idóneo, como comentamos antes, para los peques de la casa. También queremos mencionar que la manera de Violeta para interactuar con el resto de los personajes nos ha gustado mucho. No es que sea algo fuera de lo normal, pero sí es cierto que se enfrenta a situaciones fuera de lo normal.
En definitiva: animamos a todos aquellos padres que quieran introducir o mantener a sus hijos en la lectura que les ofrezcan esta historia. Además cuenta con unas ilustraciones muy bonitas de Becka Moor.
