The Curse of the Pharaoh's Manicurists

by Angelia Sparrow, Naomi Brooks

In the roaring '20s, Charlie Doyle, the ink still wet on his Dartmouth journalism degree, answers an ad for a job as secretary to Edward Kilsby, Lord Withycombe and renowned flying ace of the Great War. The ad leads him to expect excitement, but Charlie never expects quite so much.

When Edward is hired to find missing archaeologist Sir Alexander Spencer, Charlie is about to go for the ride of his life. A whirlwind tour of London, the Paris nightlife, a kidnapping by Edward's jilted fiance and rival, Cairo, the Valley of the Kings, even the Orient Express all pale compared to what awaits Charlie and Edward in the tomb of Ni-ankh-khnum and Khnum-ho-tep, Overseers of the Manicurists in the Palace of the King.

But not mummies nor jilted lovers, not malaria nor Anubis himself can stop their quest...or their growing love for each other...

[Sydney Blackburn · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this story. The time period is a fascinating one, and it was well-researched and presented beautifully. I found the characters charming and likeable (except for the ones I wasn't supposed to!).

I look forward to reading Charlie and Edward's next adventure.

The writing was melodramatic, hilarious and campy, but not in a good way. I couldn't decide if this was on purpose or not.
