Just finished "Curse of the Pharaohs", a re-read of the second book in the "Amelia Peabody" series of Egyptological whodunnits by Elizabeth Peters (the pen-name of the American Egyptologist Barbara Mertz). Radliffe Emerson is asked by Lady Baskerville to take over the work of excavating a tomb in the Valley of the Kings following the mysterious death of her husband, Lord Baskerville, but a serious of deaths ensue. Is the curse put on the tomb by its ancient owner to blame?
Very, very good.
