Publisher Description
From a New York Times bestselling author, a Victorian-era thriller featuring Egyptologist Amelia Peabody, a self-proclaimed spinster and heiress who's unrattled by anyone–including mummies.
The unshakeable Amelia Peabody embarks on an Egyptian adventure armed with self-confidence, a journal to record her thoughts, and, of course–a sturdy umbrella. On her way to Cairo, Amelia rescues young Evelyn Barton-Forbes, who has been abandoned by her scoundrel lover. Together the two women sail up the Nile to an archeological site run a pair of handsome brothers.
Strange visitations, suspicious accidents, and a botched kidnapping convince Amelia that there is a plot afoot to harm Evelyn. Now Amelia finds herself up against an unknown enemy–and perilous forces that threaten to make her first Egyptian trip also her last...

See AllFun and ridiculous
I read this series as a kid and it’s just as fun as I remember! (I was afraid I would be annoyed with an adult perspective, but my mom had also enjoyed the books along with me).
Romance, adventure, intrigue, travelogue (despite her “best efforts”). Now I want a Princess Bride/Amelia Peabody mashup a la Deadpool 2!
