Curse of the Pharaohs by Elizabeth Peters

Curse of the Pharaohs (Amelia Peabody Mystery, #2)

by Elizabeth Peters

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

Good, but it plodded along. It was hard to keep my attention on the story in the middle third of the book, I found myself flipping pages to get to a more interesting part. Still, the ending was very good and overall the series is enjoyable.
