This is the third in a well written cozy series.
It's set in 1929 England with a dysfunctional wealthy family and the very independent daughter who was self-sufficiently working in a library (despite having earned a science degree at Oxford). She discovered that her uncle died and the inheritance that was left to her includes a large townhouse complete with laboratory, a lot of money, a detective agency, and her first case. Clara is learning more about the business of a detective agency and how her operatives do their work. I loved the first two, but between vision issues and more severe allergies this year I was devastated to find that the ebook is not TTS enabled and it was just too much work for me to enjoy reading it. Guess I'll have to stick a crowbar in my wallet and get the audio. I really liked the first two in series. Preordered the audio!
I requested and received a free temporary EARC from Embla Books via NetGalley. Thank you! 5/10/2024.
Now it is June 14 and I have finished listening to the audio wonderfully performed by voice actor Hannah Genesius.
The young woman in the sarcophagus was mummified less than 15 years ago and the wrappings contain RAYON! More irregularities are found at the Hancock Museum in Newcastle when the exhibition from the British Museum arrives. Much archaeological and museum intrigue requires Clara and her intrepid assistant Bella to take an ocean liner cruise to Egypt where even more Irregularities and threats happen. Looking forward to their next adventure! ( )
