DESCRIPTION:
DDR said Entertaining, but not one of Elizabeth Peter's best.. I'm a huge fan of the late Barbara Mertz, whether she wrote as Barbara Michaels or Elizabeth Peters. This book has many of the elements I love about her work, including witty banter between the main characters, and fascinating information about ancient Egypt and modern archeology. Unfortunately, the ending is a bit anticlimactic. The heroine's time trapped in a tomb is drawn out far too long for far too little payoff, as the ultimate confrontatio. Scarabs and things P.Sinclair Very enjoyable read, especially if you like Amelia Peabody in her Egyptian adventures, this is in much the same style but different period, different characters. Well recommended. "The Jackal's Head best novel about Egypt" according to Amazon Customer. Best I've read of hers. Loved her info and descriptions about Luxor. Wish I could be there.
