He’s single-minded, precocious and spoiled. They’re funny, at times hilarious, and now with the introduction of Ramses, wow Amelia does have a “load” to deal with! Ramses is not your typical well-behaved boy.
However, I found that it’s not so much the plot that kept me reading. Of course since there wouldn’t be a book created if the entire expedition turned out to be a bore, things did happen throughout – we meet a Master Criminal (not yet mentioned so in this particular book), Amelia finds troubles all along, is robbed while trying to catch the Master Criminal’s smuggling ring, while trying to connect a suspicious death of an antiques dealer to the said criminal ring. The only highlight of their entire archaeological expedition is Walter (Ramses as he is routinely called), their cute (and naughty) 4 going on 5 years old little boy who was finally taken along on the journey since he is now old enough for the trip. He’d rather prefer to excavate the Black Pyramid at Dahshoor, and not it’s shadow located close enough, but not quite within his reach, at Mazghunah, which is a simple burial ground from a later period than Radcliff loves to spend his time with.
The Mummy Case it’s the third book by Elizabeth Peters in the Amelia Peabody series, which finds Amelia and Emerson in a rather boring setting, digging up places that are simply not worth their time, as Radcliff Emerson kindly comments.
