Brenda's Reviews > The Pyramid Murders

It was 1930 when private eye, Miss Clara Vale, became embroiled in a plot involving Egyptian artefacts and mummies. The night at the Hancock Museum in Newcastle was the beginning and it wasn't long before Clara and her assistant Bella were heading for Cairo on a cruise ship. On board were people who had also been at the Museum, plus a fellow sleuth who wanted the answers before Clara. Jack had always been a thorn in her side, irritating and aggravating. But she also knew they were both on the same side.

Upon arrival in Cairo, Clara was amazed at the beauty surrounding her. But she also discovered that she had no idea who she could trust. With murders and smuggling, as well as devious people watching her and Bella, Clara knew the clock was ticking and danger was circling. Would they discover who the culprit/s were before someone else died?

The Pyramid Murders is the 3rd in the Miss Clara Vale Mysteries by Fiona Veitch Smith and the first I have read. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip around Cairo, on the River Nile and the sight of the pyramids, even from the air! This historical mystery was filled with bad guys, and I certainly didn't come to the right conclusion until the reveal! Highly recommended.

With thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my digital ARC to read in exchange for an honest review.
