I did not particularly like the book. Terry was weak and allowed herself to be taken advantage of. even Chris abused her I understand she allowed it in order to get her son back. she gave up Gabe because she was not able to raise him. I haven't read the earlier books so not sure how Chris and Terry came to know decker and Rina but thank god for them still I'm sorry the Terry was killed and Chris took the easy way out and committed suicide leaving Gabe without a father as if it wasn't bad enough he lost his mother

In 1936, a young Charlotte Cross has the chance of a lifetime to explore the ruins of Ancient Egypt at an archaeological dig in Valley of the Kings. She is given opportunities to work alongside archaeologists, excavate artifacts, and do research on an ancient female pharoah, Hathorkare. She falls in love with a fellow archaeologist from London and then tragedy strikes. In 1978, Charlotte Cross is now a curator in the Egyptian wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY. Over the years she has continued to research Hathorkare and come up with a theory of her demise. On the night of the Met Gala, Charlotte's extensive research and an Egyptian artifact are stolen from the museum! Nineteen year old Annie Jenkins, who just began working as an assistant to Diana Vreeland, former Vogue fashion editor and organizer of the Gala, becomes a person of interest in the robbery. Charlotte and Annie team up to clear her name and find the thief and stolen artifact. This leads them to Egypt where the story began. If you like archaeology, ancient history, and this author I think you will like this book. I think it is Fiona Davis' best!
