After Henry and Elizabeth spend a holiday visiting Ancient Egyptian sites and exploring Egyptian history they return with a plan to investigate the mystery of the Golden Tomb with the aim of trying to discover the identity of bodies, not only in the magnificent tomb itself but also another seven bodies located in a secret section of the tomb complex. As the investigation continues we learn not only about people living in Egypt thousands of years ago but also about some of the processes used in modern archaeology.
During the novel we also learn more about Elizabeth's multicultural family and her challenges at work in the library and at the university where she is a tutor. There is also a mystery as to who stole Elizabeth's diary in Egypt and what item was an intruder seeking in Taid's library.
As usual there is a small collection of recipes at the end of the book along with a glossary of terms plus notes on the historical research on which this 'cosy crime' story is based.
