The Cairo Curse by Pepper Basham

This book takes us on the honeymoon of Lord and Lady Astley.  They have already seen their share of murder and kidnapping.  Lord Astley decides to take Lady Astley to Venice by way of Cairo for a visit with his cousin who is sponsoring an archeological dig.  Of course they find themselves in the middle of a mystery when they get there.  Lady Astley has a vivid imagination which isn't helped by all the books she reads. She also has a very spontaneous nature that gets her into trouble.  She approaches every situation as if she were Sherlock Holmes. 

This book involves murder, tomb robbing, and kidnapping.  It's not a suspenseful novel. But full of mystery.  This is the second novel in the Freddie and Grace Mystery series.  This book sort of fills the reader in on what happened in the first book so it would be possible to read this with out reading the first book.

The only negative I have for this book is that sometimes I felt like I was reading a history book instead of a novel.  Other than that, I enjoyed it.  

I received a copy of this book from Barbour Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
