Book #36 was The Mummy Case , the 3rd book in Elizabeth Peters’ Amelia Peabody series. The back of the book reads:

Emerson, Amelia Peabody’s archaeologist husband, is on a dig where nothing seems worthy of interest, until a sinister murder suspect turns up at the site. Amelia can’t resist following his trail, but danger mounts when she and Emerson look for answers in an ancient tomb that nearly becomes their grave.

This is me trying to fill in the holes in this series. I had picked up the next book in the series that I owned, and realized that too much had happened that I wasn’t aware of. So, I’m actually visiting the library. Will wonders ever cease?

However, I had a harder time getting through this one. I don’t know if it’s because the writing is more refined later in the series, or if I had just reached my limit of Amelia Peabody books for the time being.
