Plastic flowers never fade

38. The Mummy Case by Elizabeth Peters


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
As good as I remembered even if I had forgotten under what disguise Sethos was hiding. This was an enjoyable romp, Ramses first visit to Egypt, yes, he is a child genius but it's Ramses and I love this little boy to pieces.

So the plot, Amelia and Emerson are digging at Mazaghouna because Emerson promised Amelia pyramids and was angling for Dashour but De Morgan took them for himself. So they end up at these totally not pyramid, pyramid site right next to De Morgan. We get delusional missionaries, a thief ring, stolen goods from dig sites and of course a few murders along the way.

Best part: Amelia, Emerson and Ramses escape the black pyramid.

This one had just enough of all my favourite ingredients that make an Amelia Peabody book fun to read.
