The 5th book in the series and the best. This time Vicky is sent to Egypt on a luxury cruise after the police ask her to help to solve a murder and prevent the heist of Egyptian antiquities. Much to her shock her errant lover Sir john Smythe is on the same cruise along with his new bride. Vicky suspects the authorities really want her to finger John and she is tempted. Enter her boss Schmidt who continues his meddling. Vicky is so upset that she over looks the danger of a criminal who hides behind a mask of charm while moving in for the kill. Lots of laugh along the way as Elizabeth Peters uses her sly sense of humor in this interesting tale of treasure, murder and thieving.
