Publisher Description
Set in 1884, this is the first installment in what has become a beloved bestselling series. At thirty-two, strong-willed Amelia Peabody, a self-proclaimed spinster, decides to use her ample inheritance to indulge her passion, Egyptology. On her way to Egypt, Amelia encounters a young woman named Evelyn Barton-Forbes. The two become fast friends and travel on together, encountering mysteries, missing mummies, and Radcliffe Emerson, a dashing and opinionated archaeologist who doesn't need a woman's help -- or so he thinks.

5 stars for an excellent story by the talented author.
-1 star for numerous typos which were distracting.
It’s obviously the fault of whoever published this e-book, not the author, so just download a different version.
Wonderful and disappointing.
The plot line is full, complex and fun. The characters are fully developed and complex. Very enjoyable, except for the grammar errors. There are many, many many, mistakes! Need a new proofreader! This one is horrible!,Raravis
Expect a Cozy
It’s not exactly what I was looking for. Although the writing is fairly skillful, I was annoyed by the style. Many typos. The author was an academic Egyptologist so I expected that aspect to be more interest. It does have a good flavor of English tourists in Egypt in the 1880s.
