Ancestor's World by A.C. Crispin, T. Jackson King

3.0

Crispin, A. C., and T. Jackson King. Ancestor’s World. Starbridge No. 6. Ace, 1996.
An archeologist-diplomat on an ancestor-worshipping planet is murdered. A human-alien team sets out to find who done it. If some of the characters did not have scales and tails, I would swear we were in late 19th-century Egypt exploring gravesites with Elizabeth Peters’ Amelia Peabody. Maybe I will reread some of those now.
