A review by miramanga
The Snake, the Crocodile and the Dog by Barbara Mertz, Elizabeth Peters

3.0

I enjoyed the Egyptian setting but found some parts of it unsettling and problematic. Yay for a feisty female heroine- not so much for her husband punching her in the face. There are many melodramatic moments and ambushes, red herrings and attempted kidnappings. Too many some might say as it's impossible to keep track of all the shenanigans...
