Book Review of Crocodile on the Sandbank (Amelia Peabody, Bk 1)

Planning a trip to Egypt in the near future, I thought it would be entertaining to read some literature set in that area. This series of books fills the bill to some extent; Crocodile is indeed set in Egypt, however, the geography isn't paramount to the story. It is a mystery/romance that just happens to occur in Egypt. The writing is rather elementary and although the narritive flows along nicely, it is non-inventive and fairly predictable. A good book for light reading, but not exactly what I was hoping for.
