The fourth of Elizabeth Peter's Amelia Peabody series of books, this again sees the Victorian archaeologist return to Egypt, in the company of her husband and precocious son.

As before, they are then caught up in a mystery surrounding a murder as well as the usual romantic entanglements for these novels. This also sees the return of the 'Master Criminal' from the previous books, who is both named (obviously not his real name) and looks like becoming a recurring character in the series as a whole.

I found this to be a diverting enough read, but not up to the standards of the first novel, perhaps due to the fact that I am now familiar with the type of story it is.

Huh. I thought the story had ended.

Maybe A will hook up with Gossip Girl and they'll take on corrupt politicians?

***STOP! HERE THERE BE SPOILERS***

Now, that I've read the book. Am I the only one that kinda thinks with all the A shenanigans, the girls would never, ever keep a secret as long as they lived?

Seriously, some chick who looks like Ali (sort of) shows up in Jamaica and NONE of them think to send a pic in anonymously to a tabloid site? The conspiracy theorists are legion and somebody would have dug up something on Tabitha.

Also, it took a freaking year for the body to wash up? I find that pretty suspicious.

Poor Hanna. She's always been my favorite.

It's all about family ...

Sookie Stackhouse is dealing with a whole host of family problems, ranging from her own kin (a non-human fairy and a telepathic second cousin) demanding a place in her life, to her lover Eric's vampire sire, an ancient being who arrives with Eric's 'brother' in tow at a most inopportune moment. And Sookie's tracking down a distant relation of her ailing ...

I think this was the first stackhouse book where sookie doesn't absolutely drive me crazy! It wasn't too bad at all. I find myself sticking with this series because I'm so far into them now! Would I recommend the series possibly as each person is different to what they like to read.

THIS WAS SO HAPPY, literally the happiest book that I've read since Simon Vs and that made me very very happy because if you know me you know that I love me some happy books, yes there were sad part that broke me apart but the happy times were just so so happy that it made up for everything 10/10 would recommend. (PLUS THE MULTITUDE OF THEATRE REFERENCES ARE THE BEST THINGS EVER) if you're a nerd you will love these nerds. Also I love Dylan so much he's such a well fun character i don't even know if I'm supposed to love him as much as I do, this review is just a pure ramble now but I LOVE THIS BOOK
