Very little of the family's signature humor, and everyone spoke with the same voice.
vkemp's review against another edition
2.0
Amelia Peabody and her husband, Emerson, are back in Egypt for a another season of excavation. Amelia is almost killed in her bath at Shepheard's Hotel in Cairo and she is saved by Sethos, the master criminal, who has a tendresse for Amelia. It becomes apparent the five brothers of the man Nefret married, who then died, bear an animus towards Amelia and her son, Ramses. Meanwhile, Emerson discovers a spectacular bust of Nefertiti, which inexplicably disappears, only to re-appear in the shop of a master forger in Cairo. Lots of loose threads running around throughout this book. It is obvious Joan Hess faced an uphill battle to re-create the Amelia and Emerson we all loved from the unfinished manuscript left when Barbara Mertz died.
