Join our plucky Victorian Egyptologist , together with her devastatingly handsome and brilliant husband Radcliffe, in another exciting escapade
When Lady Baskerville's husband Sir Henry dies after discovering what may have been an undisturbed royal tomb in Luxor, she appeals to eminent archaeologist Radcliffe Emerson and his wife Amelia to take over the excavation. Amid rumours of a curse haunting all those involved with the dig, the intrepid couple proceeds to Egypt, where they begin to suspect that Sir Henry did not die a natural death, and they are confident that the accidents that plague the dig are caused by a sinister human element, not a pharoah's curse

Sir Henry Baskerville has discovered a tomb in Egypt but after his find dies under bizarre circumstances, Amelia and her husband Radcliffe Emerson are summoned to continue his work. Amelia applies herself to this work and also to the work of finding out the truth, as the bodies stack up.
I enjoyed the story, there were times when Amelia irrited me with her superior attitude but it was still a great deal of fun.
