A 1920s Historical Mystery in Egypt (Lady Caroline Murder Mysteries, Book 5)

By: Isabella Bassett

Narrated by: Sandra Churchill

Ancient curses, lost treasure and murder…the way only Lady Caroline and Uncle Albert can do it!

Egypt, 1925

Leave it to Lady Caroline and Uncle Albert to inadvertently stumble upon an ancient load of trouble while on a jolly jaunt up the Nile. From ancient curses and wandering mummies, to seances and secret societies, it’s all murder, mayhem, and a plague of beetles.

Secret of the Scarab is Book 5 of the Lady Caroline Murder Mysteries series. In the glamorous world of 1920s Europe, and now Egypt, money and privilege rub shoulders, and greed, envy, and murder are never far behind. Follow Lady Caroline, intelligent and witty, with a fondness for breaking rules, on a fun romp through the golden age of murder mysteries. Each book contains the requisite eccentric characters, fun historical tidbits, and puzzling murders with no gore or gloom.

no ending

there was no ending to the story. it was very disappointing. I enjoyed the book up til then.

missing the last chapter

missing the final chapter, so the story is not complete. very unprofessional. wish there was someone to reach out to get this fixed

What happened to the ending

My audio stopped before revealing who the murder was. It just suddenly ended and went to credits

I call foul.

I enjoy the Lady Caroline books but this ending was dirty pool. I guess this will be too much information for some but I want names. Not just a suggestion. Is that a trick to make sure I read the next book? I will anyway but I came away feeling very dissatisfied.

What happened?

I really enjoyed the book right up to the end where it ended right before the murderer was announced! Since the next book in the series is not on audible and I don’t like to spend the money on both written and audio that was pretty disappointing. By the time I finish the series I’m reading and give up and purchase this one I’ll be lost in the storyline.
