In the wake of the Twilight craze, we've all seen far too many vampire and werewolf stories flooding the market. Not that I have anything against Dracula or the Wolf Man, but I always had a soft spot for the Mummy. Maybe there's not enough room for edgy romantic triangles in archaeology and Egyptology but it seems to me to offer plenty of fertile ground for fun stories. That's where Theodosia is a bit of fresh air - even if it does come from long buried crypts and the basements of British museums!In this third book of the series, Theodosia is still trying to rid the Egyptian artifacts of curses in her parent's museum, the Museum of Legends and Antiquities in Edwardian London. Theo has a useful talent for detecting curses, and with a new exhibit about to open there's plenty to do. But when she attends a magic show for an Egyptian magician named Awi Bubu, it appears that he is more authentic than she expected. Soon after, she and her brother discover an emerald tablet hidden inside another artifact at the museum, and before long the Serpents of Chaos, the Arcane Order of the Black Sun, and even Awi Bubu himself are after it. The only one who doesn't seem interested is the Brotherhood of Chosen Keepers - the very group who ought to be taking a most careful notice.
This book was purchased from .con for my Kindle. An amazing way to order books because I no sooner place my order that it appears on my Kindle. It is the delicious feeling of instant gratification.like all the other books in the Theodosia series this one too is great as once again our young slueth finds herself on a roller-coaster ride that has her nerves in a tangle. There are hair-raising plots that involve nasty characters, extremely unpleasant situations and others who appeare to be inoffensive but are, in reality, evil and wicked. There are many sub-plots that keeps ones mind doing cartwheels. You, the reader, is kept on the edge of your seat and biting your nails. There is never a dull moment. Theodosia is constantly racking her brains figuring out how she can escape from the Museum of Legends and Antiquities where her father is curator and where she spends most of her time. She sometimes complains that her parents neglect her but actually she sees the positive side of this as allowing her to investigate the many mysteries she is faced with and enables her to discretly look into and find out something about dodgy or unsavory people. She has a rather large number of people who are her allies. People from Lords to raggamuffins. And she also has ,of late ,her younger brother, Henry. Though he is, much of the time, at boarding school but when he is homeTheodosia tries to include him in on things that are not too complicatedVarious employees in the museum play an important roll in Theodosia's life. There is one in particular, Stilton, who is her friend and sometimes helps her with odd jobs outside of the museum. However, she has discovered that he is occasionally indiscreet and causes her trouble. But her all time enemy is Faggebush.
