Once again Penny goes against the social norms of married life and becomes fully embroiled in another mystery, this time involving a well known Egyptology husband and wife that leads down many a twist and turn as one lie gives way to another. Penny also puts James in his place once or twice which I was quite pleased about and maintains her independence of thoughts and actions by following her instincts and pursuing the case regardless of what others think. She does get herself in a bit of a tizz but as always she's manages to get to the bottom of things, and keeps her hand in with her journalism work too.

What a great story! I loved how convoluted it was, so many lies and betrayals! So much duplicity!
I understand why Penny was so confused, and why she felt that nobody was really trustworthy. Even as I really liked Bet, a lot, I get why it was so easy to think that she was part of the deceit. As I said, the mystery was, really, very well done; although by the end I suspected the reasons behind the crime, I really didn't get who until Penny explain it.
Another thing that I enjoyed a lot was how Penny and James always talked while he was attending his garden. It gave it a very domestic feeling :)
And, OMG! Penny's father is a lot of trouble, isn't he? *laughs* Although he kind of redeems homself at the end :P
Another great story in this series.
