Returning from the winter events of Dahshoor (Lion in the valley), the Emersons are confronted with murder in the Egyptian wing of the British Museum, a murder attributed to a curse from one of the mummies recently donated. With the press, in the form of Kevin O'Connell and Miss Minton, dogging her heels--and hissing at each other whenever possible--can Amelia find the real murderer before becoming the next victim?

As usual with this series, I don't really enjoy the crime/mystery element of the story, but the dialogue is amusing and the characters somewhat entertaining.
Unusually, this one is set in London rather than Egypt, but the change of scene doesn't make as much difference as you might expect (except to the weather).
