The curse of the kings

By Eleanor Burford

Heat level
Behind closed doors

For centuries the tombs of the Pharaohs were haunted by a deadly curse, so when two eminent archaeologists die under mysterious circumstances, Judith Osmond is certain the curse was the cause. Then, overnight, her life changed forever. There was an unexpected inheritance. Then the handsome young archaeologist she adores, Tybalt, asks her to marry him. But when Tybalt plans a honeymoon amid the tombs of the Pharaohs, it suddenly appears as if the curse of the kings has come to haunt Judith . . . “The prolific Miss Holt combines suspense and romance with the master's touch.”—Boston Herald “Victoria Holt has a wonderful way with suspense, with atmosphere, and with a haunted heroine.”—Newsday

Severity reflects intensity, not value — “central theme” means a warning is a core part of the book, not that the book is bad.
