    About this audiobook

    Secrets never die . . .

    October, 1923. Lady detective Olive Belgrave has a new case. Lady Agnes doesn’t believe in curses—especially ancient curses—and she hires Olive to prove her uncle wasn’t the victim of a malevolent mummy. Olive investigates and discovers the truth is much worse—it’s murder. Can Olive debunk the curse and reveal the true culprit before the mummy curse claims another victim? 

    The Egyptian Antiquities Murder is the third book in the High Society Lady Detective series, a cozy historical series set in 1920s England. If you enjoy lighthearted novels reminiscent of the Golden Age of detective fiction with spirited protagonists and perplexing mysteries, you’ll love the High Society Lady Detective Series from USA Today bestseller Sara Rosett.

    • 4/5
      This series would make fabulous television. Great female detective and such a potential for costumes! Loving it.
    • 4/5
      Engaging characters. It's a shame about the Americanisms that have crept in!
    • 4/5

    • 5/5
      Amazing. I have never read a book as good as this. I can't wait to read the next book. Thank you allll !!!!!@!
    • 2/5
      Unfortunately the assassin is not characterised at all, it does not attract your attention. I believe one has to be drawn to the culprit in meandering ways that will give you the ah-ah moment when the truth is revealed. This character is an undefined nobody, it lacks the punch. Some of the characters are great, Nora for example, and the boy working for the antiquities' shop is a great cameo. Furthermor,e the relationship between Olive and her friend Jasper is taking great shape, a real pleasure to imagine and lovingly convincing but overall (and I am really sorry to say it as I know the sweat and tears of writing) I am not convinced, the book lacks the spark.
    • 4/5
      Another fun, easy to read instalment of this charming, cozy mystery series. Narration is excellent.
    • 5/5
      I love this series! The characters are tons of fun and the mysteries are compelling.
    • 5/5
      I really do love this series, and I have only listened to it on audiobook. I'm not sure how it would play out if I actually had read the books. I'm not a fan of binge-watching or binge-reading, but with this series it would be easy to fall into that. In this book Olive Belgrade finds herself staying in an opulent townhouse in London. She has been hired to determine what actually happened to Lady Agnes Mulgrave's uncle who had apparently committed suicide. Lady Agnes doesn't believe that her beloved uncle, who was a celebrated Egyptologist in 1920's London, would ever have taken his own life. Olive is on the case with her usual aplomb and joie-de-vivre. Don't think for one minutes that Olive is a flighty young 20 something society girl on the society treadmill. She is a bright, forceful and determined young woman who always needs to know the truth above all else. I love the setting of these books and I love each of the books in the series. They are fun, a little flirtatious, and a good bit serious when Olive determines there is a murderer on the loose. These books make me happy. I don't expect any great life changing or catastrophic events in them, and that's ok too. I just expect to be entertained and to spend a few relaxing hours in Olive's company. Isn't that what we read books for?

      This is Book 3, in the [High Society Lady Detective] series. I had previously read only book 5 and was very meh about Rosett's plotting, finding the narrative improbably silly and the characterizations shallow.However, a friend convinced me to try the Egyptian Antiquities story and this push was fortuitous. The novel was a cheerful romp with period flavour from the excitement over British excavations in the Valley of the Kings lending interest. The character development was more accomplished than in Book 5, and the twists in the mystery were not obvious although not unexpected. I like the slow development of a potential romance between two of the characters that appear (I am guessing) throughout the series.Recommended if you enjoy British society tales with a murder to be solved, but don't expect more than the mildest of suspense. It was good for my state of being at this moment.

      Olive is invited to stay at Lady Agnes’ townhouse which is practically a museum for Egyptian antiquities. The newspapers are saying that Lady Agnes’ uncle was the victim of an ancient mummy curse and she wants Olive to debunk that story. Olive starts her investigation and with the help of her friend Jasper manages to get to the real culprit.
