I fell in love with Ms McCabe’s writing in the first book of this series, Flora Flowerdew and Mystery of the Duke’s Diamonds. So, of course, I absolutely had to read Flora Flowerdew and the Mystery of the Purloined Papers as soon as I could get my hands on it.
I loved the second book so much that I almost squeaked out loud when I learned there was a third book!
Flora Flowerdew and the Secret of the Sarcophagus is a light, easy-to-read adventure full of mystery. I loved spending more time with Flora, Benedict, and the wonderful cast of characters I grew to love in the first two books.
Although this book stands well on its own, do yourself a favor and read Flora Flowerdew and Mystery of the Duke’s Diamonds (and the Mystery of the Purloined Papers!) first.

From Goodreads:
1889. With the winter season, Flora’s séance society is quiet and life looking dull. A late-night visit from the too-handsome Benedict, Duke of Everton, and his aunt Lady Imogen changes all that. Imogen’s long-ago lover, the renowned archaeologist Lord Crosbie, is missing, and she fears the worst.
Flora agrees to accompany them to a mummy unwrapping at the British Museum to see if anyone knows about the disappearance. It’s the shock of the town when Crosbie himself is found in the ancient sarcophagus—murdered! Adventure awaits when Flora, Benedict, Imogen, the faithful Pomeranian Chou-Chou, and Mary the Cockney maidservant, set off for Egypt—and find a large cast of suspects who all had good reason to send the archaeologist off to his own underworld…
