A review by celiapowell
The Curse of the Pharaohs by Elizabeth Peters

4.0

The second of the Amelia Peabody mysteries was very enjoyable (although I wondered for a little while about how dense she could possibly be about her husband's feelings, it was endearing rather than annoying). Again, the mystery was not so much the point of the book, although it kept me agreeably entertained - it's the witty dialogue, characters and atmosphere which are so delightful about these books. The next one I'm reading is an audio book - I think they'll be tremendous fun to listen to.
