The third in the popular series charting the adventures of Amelia Peabody, this novel follows the Victorian lady sleuth to the "pyramids" of Mazghunah. On her arrival, it seems that the barren area can be of no interest, but a murder in Cairo soon persuades her otherwise.
I had a harder time getting through this one. I don’t know if it’s because the writing is more refined later in the series, or if I had just reached my limit of Amelia Peabody books for the time being.
