The Painted Queen is by Elizabeth Peters and Joan Hess. The final installment in the Amelia Peabody series of mysteries. This unfinished manuscript was completed by Ms. Hess after the death of Ms. Peters. Fans of this series of historical fiction mysteries set in Egypt will be sad the end has come. Amelia and Emerson are trying to track the down the original bust of Queen Nefertiti which has been stolen and is being copied by forgers, while being chased by a family of assassins. Another day in the life of the Emerson family. I love this series and am so sad to see it end. Amelia's snarky humor and the adventures of the Father of Curses, Sitt Hakim, the Brother of Demons and Nur Misur will be missed.
Ratings: 10th grade - 8 out of 10 - P (profanity) - V (violence).
