Barnabas Tew and The Case Of The Missing Scarab
by Columbkill Noonan
Victorian detective and assistant/sidekick solve mysteries in the afterlife for Egyptian gods . . .
This . . . was not what I expected. I thought it would be about a Victorian gentleman detective solving crimes in London pertaining to, perhaps, a stolen Egyptian scarab artifact, or something. But no - Anubis (the Egyptian god) hears of the service's prowess and arranges to have a mummy kill him and send him to the Egyptian afterlife to look for an Egyptian scarab-god, Khepre, who has gone missing. Not really my cuppa, but Barnabas is a blundering, blithering idiot (so it is rather funny), and the writing is pretty good.
