The Last Camel Died at Noon by Elizabeth Peters

5.0

Hooray for Amelia Peabody Emerson, Egyptoligist, intrepid sleuth and advocate of the poor and downtrodden. This book was not the typical mystery. There is no dead body (except the camel, of course) that prompts an investigation. There is an investigation, though, that leads to unexplored portions of the Sudan and introduces us to someone who becomes a key character in later books.
Fun as always, with a nice little dose of history thrown in for good measure.
