Book Description
Her voice...
...came from beyond the grave. When her ancient jewel-encrusted burial tomb vanished, a long-dead Egyptian princess spoke, demanding its return.
Her voice...
...was sensuous and held secrets of ages and was heard only by rookie investigator Marina Haine. Marina found the missing sarcophagus, but the mummy inside wasn't the princess--she was a modern, murdered woman.
Her voice...
...was not nearly as unnerving or mysterious as Revington York, Marina's raven-haired prime suspect.
Her voice...
...both warned of danger and sang of love. Marina had every reason to believe Rev would land behind bars--but the princess was planning a very different kind of future....

I read this years ago but didn't realize at the time that it was a duet and had a cliff-hanger ending, so I was left bereft. So being in an Egyptology kick lately, and now having the concluding book, I decided to give it a go while waiting for the third Amelia Peabody mystery to come in at the library (which is coincidentally called The Mummy Case).
While The Mummy Case as a whole is highly improbable, it has a certain charm and was a cute read. Even though it is a Harlequin book, I liked that it dealt less with the romance and more with the mystery, probably because it is part of a duo. I've read Dawn Stewardson books before and have been impressed with how well she can develop the plot and characters in so few pages. I look forward to reading the completion the Voice of the Nile. ;P
