Children of the Storm (Amelia Peabody #15)

One of the best ones, I think. The Great War is over and the whole family is back in Egypt but jewellery is missing and Abdullah tells Amelia the children are in danger - what could possibly go wrong?
Enjoyed this very much. I thought the mystery was excellent, though I figured out the culprit early on (blame it on reading so many mysteries) and I loved following the whole family on their adventures. Nefret and Ramses are always a highlight but this felt very much like an ensemble novel, with everyone having their one little story. This also has quite a few interesting scenes about Egyptian nationalism and ownership of a country's treasures which I believe are still relevant today. This is really a series you have to read in order - every book spoils whatever came before and most of the twists come from family connections you never suspected.
Always great fun.
