The Hippopotamus Pool by Elizabeth Peters
4.0
I love this series a lot. It's full of hilarious characters and archaeological adventure and incredibly clever cats. The whole thing is totally ridiculous, yes - Amelia is an inadvertently hilarious character who often doesn't realise just how over the top she's being - but it's SO MUCH FUN.
This one was rather tamer than others, with no murders involved and instead a hunt for dodgy antique dealers and forgers in Luxor. But it's still a lot of fun, features the return of some characters that have been sadly missing for a while, and is totally silly but also really enjoyable reading.
Definitely not intellectual reading, but a series worth checking out regardless.
