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...

Fun 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!
