Not all authors can pull off exciting and alluring descriptions. Readers will be in stitches as they are whipped one way then another along with Fiona Figg as the descriptive writing wheels and woos its way about. I love it! Kelly Oliver, the authoress, has such a knack and way with words and she has created good clean fun, in my opinion, and if you like mystery and murder this is a book for you. This has a Sherlock Holmes flavor but I like Fiona's character much better.
The novel is very loosely based on historical events in and around Egypt and you'll meet Lawrence of Arabia along with German spies, archeologists and some nefarious fellows. Besides Miss Fiona Figg, you'll get reacquainted with Kitty Lane and her pooch Poppy, chaperoned by Captian Clifford Douglass under Captian Hall's directives. They're on Fredrick Fredricks' trail, that sly, sauve man, and the reader will also catch up with the elusive Archie, at least Fiona hopes so.
Will Fiona be able to follow those clues and stop the illegal sale of artefacts, not to mention catching the bad guys? Dig into the book and find out. There were so many clues to follow and so many setbacks to frustrate. Join Fiona and Kitty on the chase.
This is Book #2 in the, A Fiona Figg and Kitty Lane Mystery Series. I think the author has fabulously pieced together a great and amusing tale, likely entertaining herself in the process. It's a great quick read if you have the spare time.
