Absolutely fantastic series debut! “The Museum Detective” is different than your usual detective series and introduces a fascinating and brilliant lead character. Filled with history and suspense, I read through pretty quickly because it was hard to put down. The author obviously did extensive research on archaeological studies, and I learned about Pakistan as well. Thanks so much for granting my wish! This was a worthwhile read and I look forward to the rest on the series!

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.

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.
