    Elizabeth Peters brings back beloved Egyptologist and amateur sleuth Amelia Peabody in an exciting tale set amid the ancient temples and simmering religious tensions of Palestine on the eve of World War I. Once again the Peabody-Emerson clan must use all their skills and wiles to find the truth, prevent a bloody holy war, and save their son from the clutches of a nefarious enemy in this wonderfully engaging tale chock-full of thrills, mystery, and daring from the inimitable Elizabeth Peters.

    Story

    I impatiently waited for the next installment in this fun book series. I was disappointed that this did not pick up where the last book left off. If you think that this book carries on in chronological order, it does not. It actually dates many years earlier. That was the first disappointment. I agree with other reviews that the narration was not nearly as good as usual. The book did drag after a while and I had to make myself finish it, just in case it got better! As mentioned in other reviews, if this is your first purchase in this series, start back at the beginning with Crocodile on the Sandbank and learn to love these characters as fans of the series do, then you will be able to overlook #19 and again wait for the next installment in this series.
