The Mummy Snatcher of Memphis - Natasha Narayan

  This book took me a long time to read because it was quite hard to get into, because of this I found it difficult to get into and had to re-read parts of it. I found this book very similar to a lot of other books I had already read, imagine the plot: The Victorian age, a girl who aspires to be an adventurer rather than a 'lady' who goes off to solve mysteries. Seem familiar? It's very interesting though because of the author, lots of the places in the book have either been visited by the writer or a place where she would like to go. For example Narayan lives in Oxford, Oxford is also the home of Kit Salter. (The main character) So to conclude I give this book...

  6/10 It was good I just didn't like it enough to rave about it or buy the rest of the series...
