A review by wyvernfriend
The Curse of the Pharaohs by Elizabeth Peters
3.0
While occasionally Amelia Peabody can be an irritating character this is also her strength. She's a believable character, full of flaws and foibles and quite likely to deliver a stern lecture to you about stepping in the way of danger while efficiently bandaging you.
Sir Henry Baskerville has discovered a tomb in Egypt but after his find dies under bizarre circumstances, Amelia and her husband Radcliffe Emerson are summoned to continue his work. Amelia applies herself to this work and also to the work of finding out the truth, as the bodies stack up.
I enjoyed the story, there were times when Amelia irrited me with her superior attitude but it was still a great deal of fun.
