Night Train to Memphis by Elizabeth Peters
5.0
o Lord, I stayed up until 2 am finishing this audiobook!
The emotional arc between Vicky and John is resolved so satisfyingly it makes one almost cross-eyed with enjoyment.
The way that the colonial past and present of Egypt is dealt with wasn't too bad for 1994, but probably should be reconsidered in the current day. Faisal is a great character, but I think he's the only really well-rounded Egyptian person on the page; every other Egyptian is a bit part or a caricature in a book mostly populated by white Americans, British, and European tourists.
