Another wonderful mystery

Why are girls disappearing? And why do they all seem to disappear after class field trips to the local museum?

This is another of Steve Brezenoff's mysteries and, just like his others, it is an engaging and fun story even given its brevity.

The narrator, credited only as anonymous, did a wonderful job. His low voice was perfect for the level of tension with a mummy mystery, and I definitely liked how this one ended.

Even though these stories are for middle-grades kids, I am enjoying them as an adult. They are wonderful short stories that take between 30 minutes and an hour to listen to, which is just perfect for errands in the car during the day or while doing chores around the house. The entertainment value of the stories makes the time go by even faster.
