Murder Among the Pyramids
by Sara Rosett
What a great start to a new series. I really enjoyed Sara's High Society Lady Detective books, so this was a no brainer for me. Blix, a side character from that series is a great character. Determined, independent, she has overcome gossip and rumour to make a name for herself as a lecturer on her travels abroad. Hildy was a sweet, if slightly naive older lady who befriends her and Rafe Briarcliff is the slightly disillusioned war veteran making his living by making sure the expats and tourists in Cairo have everything just the way they like. (I really hope this trio continue together for future books!). The plot was simple enough to follow, but detailed enough to keep you guessing to the end, with several red herrings along the way. The setting of old Cairo and the Giza was spectacular and brought to life with the wealth of details. Such a shame Shepheard's burned down in the 1950s. I would have really like to visit the original.
