The Mouth of the Crocodile: A Mamur Zapt Mystery Set in Pre-World War I Egypt by Michael Pearce
flogigyahoo's review against another edition
3.0
Not so mysterious but funny
An enjoyable read but not as good as usual. The mystery is just a backdrop for the antics of a precocious Egyptian girl and the son of a minor British official in Sudan who falls foul of Sudanese nationalists. Today, with ISIS in the headlines these nationalists seem rather logical and friendly and far from fanatic. Oh, for the good old days.
