An intriguing mystery in an unusual setting, The Museum Detective brings to life a museum curator whose niece went missing three years before. After pulling herself out of a depression, Gul is recommitted to her job. Now that a strange mummy has been unearthed, her Egyptology knowledge is called on. The investigation will make her question all those around her while providing interesting insights into her culture. The last third dragged a bit for me, though.

this was a fantastic premise and worked with the story being told, I thought it had that mystery going on and how the characters worked overall. I thought the characters worked with the story being told and how everything worked together. Maha Khan Phillips wrote this well and had me wanting to read more from them.

Not bad at all for a new mystery. Got a bit long winded at points but I am a sucker for a good museum story/mystery. This book, like all good historical fiction, will transports you. I would rate this a 3.5 of 5 stars and would read any sequels that may come out.
