Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss a new historical audiobook from Fiona Davis. Charlotte Cross is an assistant curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City in 1978. Charlotte is quietly conducting Egyptology research that harkens back to her devastating experience in Egypt in 1936. Linda Jones’s excellent narration reflects Charlotte’s ambivalence: She’s determined to prove her controversial theory about an Egyptian ruler but fearful of returning to Cairo. When an artifact is stolen, Charlotte and her young student Annie must travel to Egypt to pursue the thief and prove Charlotte’s hypothesis.
