Another fantastic addition to the Clara Vale Mysteries. This time Clara finds herself on planes, trains and automobiles as well as a cruise ship. She follows the trail of Egyptian mummies and lost treasure on a trip around the world and even has time for tea with Agatha Christie!  I love the little cameos that go into these books and I appreciate the sheer amount of research gone into making the book sound realistic. Don't forget to read the author's note at the end for all the details.

I really enjoyed seeing more of Uncle Bob through his letters and people that he met prior to his death. Clara finds out more about him and his life in this book and also has a few more run ins with her family.
The annoying as ever, Jack Danskin is hot on Clara's tail throughout the book and although he might say the best man won... he got a lot of his information from following Clara closely.

I read the book this time although I listened to the audio book of the first two. I must say, the narrator does such an amazing performance, especially with the different accents, that I really missed not hearing this title. There's always time to listen later on.

Sign me up for the next one please, it's one series not to miss!
Thanks to Netgalley and the author and publisher for a temporary copy in exchange for an honest review
