Author - Elizabeth Peters (5.5)

I know I have mentioned this author to most of you by now, but I really get a kick out of her books. I haven't been really good to read them in order, but I still enjoy the ones I have read. She follows two egyptologists at around the turn of 1900. One of the main characters is nicknamed "The Father of Curses" because he will throw out a 'darn it' every now and then. Someone's life is guaranteed to be in danger at some point during the book, and I haven't been able to successfully identify the bad guy before she reveals it. (I like that!)
