The Mummy or Ramses the damned by Anne Rice


 Lawrence Stratford is in Cairo Egypt. He was uncovering the tomb of Ramses the damned. He knew that he was Cleopatra's lover and teacher. He was in the chamber working on understanding one of the scrolls. He thought he was alone but, he kept hearing some strange breathing. Then, Henry his nephew shows up in the chamber wanting him to sign something. Simar is a good friend of his and was dealing with reporters outside. 

Henry made coffee for Lawrence and handed it to him. What Henry didn't know, was the mummy had seen him dip into one of the containers that had poison in it. Within a few minutes Lawrence was on the floor dead. 

A few days later, they put him to rest. They also brought all the stuff to Julie's house. She is Lawrence's daughter. She always liked Egypt and wished she could go back there. 

Elliott was the Earl of Rutherford. His son Alex is surposed to marry Julie. With Henry back in town and Julie in charged of the business now. Her uncle wanted to meet with her. He wanted money to give to Henry to make sure he stays out of the way. Henry is a drunk, gambler and Loved sex. 

One morning Julie got us after hearing noises downstairs. She found Henry helping himself to a drink. He wanted to speak to her. Some time earlier the day before, they had removed to cover to the coffin. What Henry didn't know was that the mummy had seen everything he had done in making Julie's tea. He was getting ready to hand it to her, when the mummy started to move. Within a few minutes, the mummy had nocked the cup out of Henry's hand but, also tried to choke him. Henry go free and ran out of the house. Julie stood there frozen. 

The mummy just stood there looking at her. Julie didn't know what to do, she was frozen. She knew she needed to do something and it wasn't going to take long before the cops showed up. Getting this handsome, blue eyed male to understand was going to be interesting. Then, he spoke. It was in a language she didn't know. 

Well, you can only guess what is going to happen. Love, sex and murder. All the things that makes up a good book in my opinion. If you haven't read this. You should. Its very good. I'm not saying or describing anything more. I enjoyed this a lot. 

Well, I'm off to start another book. Remember to read a good book.
