Crocodile on the Sandbank / Elizabeth Peters 262 p.

In 1884, after her father's death, spinster Amelia Peabody go to visit the place her father studied in depth--Egypt, its pyramids and archaeology.  She employs a young woman as companion that she rescued in Italy when Evelyn's former lover dumped her.  The plot thickens when both Evelyn's former lover and her cousin turn up in Egypt.  Archaeologists Walter and Radcliffe Emerson are taken by the two even though Radcliffe hides his affection well.  When strange accidents occur, mysterious disappearances happen, and a mummy starts walking, a fun visit to an archaeological dig turns dangerous.

1st in the Amelia Peabody mysteries new series
