A brilliant first book to a series! Having recently lost her father and inherited his fortune, Amelia Peabody is determined to see the lands she spent her life studying alongside him, and sets out for Egypt. After picking up a kind companion in a lady named Evelyn along the way, Amelia lands herself in the middle of a sinister situation while also verbally sparring with dashing Egyptologist Radcliffe Emerson. I absolutely loved this book! It's full of situational drama, not to mention dramatic people. Peabody and Emerson are quite the duo as they seek to solve the mystery and study the ancient Egyptian culture. The author (having a degree in Egyptology herself) provides excellent insights into the history of Egypt that would match with the time period the character hails from, and creates a funny, engaging narrative with these amazing characters! I had so much fun, and am currently working my way through the subsequent books!
