Put this against the backdrop of the house full of Egyptology that her parents left her and the fun flatmates she has had for years, and the story comes alive.

I enjoyed the story and all its twists and turns but for some reason it didn’t hold me in suspense. I’m used to being gripped by books like this, not wanting to put them down. It didn’t happen this time and I still don’t know why. I enjoyed it, the story was well told and the characters strong and engaging.

Curse of the Amber was a good book and the title encompasses the main theme of the book. I did enjoy reading it and found myself wondering how the story would end. I have to admit (without giving any spoilers) that I was satisfied by the final pages. Enjoyable reading.
