This is the second in the series of about 19 Amelie Peabody mysteries. Amelia and her Egyptologist husband go for "the season" of digging in Egypt in the 1890's, while their infant son Ramses stays home with friends. Inevitably, bodies and suspicious people cross their paths. This is not your usual mystery, as it is written in 1890-style language of the indominable Peabody in her journal. Aside from being fun mysteries, these books are romances and views of family life of the era, and are very, very funny. We are reading them aloud at night, working our way through the series.
