I enjoy this one somewhat less than the preceding book, [b:The Mummy Case 9810644 The Mummy Case Elizabeth Peters https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1396184059l/9810644.SY75.jpg 2570337]. It's mildly amusing, but even Ramses is less funny this time. There's another convoluted mystery, I'm not particularly keen on the new characters we meet, and in particular I'm not keen on Sethos—who will, unfortunately, appear again later.Although Ramses is only 8 or 9 years old, he seems to be starting to take a tentative interest in the female of the species—specifically, in Miss Debenham, who's young but adult.The book gets its 3 stars by being sufficiently entertaining to be rereadable occasionally. However, if I wanted to read the highlights of the series, I think I'd skip this one.
