Book Seven in the "Amelia Peabody" series.This review may contain spoilers for previous books in the series.Amelia and her husband recently adopted a young Egyptian girl and brought her back to their estate in England, where she has struggled to fit in with her contemporaries. Although Nefret looks the part of a proper young lady - her parents were English, even if she was raised overseas - the gaps in her education and knowledge of English social mores make her stand out amongst her classmates. When given the opportunity to return to Egypt with the Emersons during their annual excavations, Nefret declines, prompting Amelia's son Ramses to stay behind to watch over her. Once back in Egypt, Professor Emerson is promptly kidnapped, and Amelia and her friends scour Egypt as they try to locate him. When he is finally rescued, it's revealed that Emerson is suffering from amnesia, and remembers nothing of his life during the past fifteen years or so. While this saved Emerson from spilling the family's secrets to his kidnapper, it also means that Emerson has no recollection of his children or his wife, and that he finds Amelia unwomanly, strange, and especially irksome. Amelia decides that the best thing to do is to seduce her husband once again by working beside him at the same archeological site where they met, but in the meantime Emerson's kidnapper is still trying to find the information the professor could not provide, and he's willing to go after the children back in England to get it.I'm a little disappointed. Amnesia, really? Maybe it's just me, but I always find amnesia stories to be rather weak and predictable.
