Returning from the winter events of Dahshoor (Lion in the valley), the Emersons are confronted with murder in the Egyptian wing of the British Museum, a murder attributed to a curse from one of the mummies recently donated. With the press, in the form of Kevin O'Connell and Miss Minton, dogging her heels--and hissing at each other whenever possible--can Amelia find the real murderer before becoming the next victim?

Somehow I feel that each book in the series has been better than the last. Maybe I have just grown fond of the characters and ridiculous adventure plots. I really enjoyed that this, the fifth, one because it took place in London instead of Egypt, which made it feel less repetitive. I also think this one wrapped up the handful of storylines better than others in the series, particularly the last one.
