Eleven-year-old archaeologist Theodosia (Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos) is gallivanting about London, for there is a new mystery afoot: mummies are going missing, and her father is under suspicion. Only Theodosia can bring to justice the secret criminal organization behind it all. The bad guys are a bit two-dimensional, but the plot is lively in a deliciously stuffy Victorian way.
