Crocodile on the Sandbank

Although I only gave it three stars, I enjoyed this book and plan on continuing the series for now. It was cleanly written and entertaining, though I went into it thinking it was a mystery, which it barely was. Really it is part of an adventure serial full of spunky characters and barely believable occurrences. That part I loved. But the mystery aspect was too easy to figure out. Plus, the chapters should be half as long.

Update: I have continued with the series and have gotten hooked. If you like Egypt, suspense, adventure, and romance I recommend keeping going. The mysteries get less predictable and the characters get more lovable. The chapters continue to be too long, but that's just more of an excuse to keep reading!
