Der Mumienschrein

Elizabeth Peters has a knack for blending history with fiction. I wonder what sparked her interest in Egyptian archaeology for this series.

The book kept me on the edge but also made me smile at times. It’s rare to find a mystery that’s both fun and engaging — does that work for others too?

Her cleverness and charm really stood out. I’m curious about whether Elizabeth Peters based her character on someone she knew or created her entirely from imagination.
