Helpful Score: 2

The book is a fun read, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I remember enjoying the first book in the Amelia Peabody series, "Crocodile on the Sandbank." I assume that the introduction of Amelia and Emerson's son, Ramses, just a toddler in this book, means the inclusion of a new character in the series. I guessed the murderer early in the book, so for those who enjoy trying to solve a mystery, you'll probably find this unsatisfying. Sections in this book also are a little too "romancy," which is not surprising considering Peters is also Barbara Michaels.

But, I do like the characters, so I'll no doubt continue on with this series.
