Read A Review:

Lisa Donahue, museum curator, returns the new Egyptian mummy after having it x-rayed at a local clinic. She discovers the bloody body of her colleague, Marion, in the mummy’s empty case.

Lisa is a widowed young mother. She has to juggle her job and being a mother. Now she’s taking on sleuthing to figure out who killed Marion and why.

Marion had mentioned to Lisa that she felt that some artifacts were missing and others were misplaced. The museum is quite old and there are promises of moving to a new facility. Lisa isn’t sure whether the artifacts are really missing or if they have been stored for the move. Since Marion cataloged all the artifacts, now no one knows for sure.

As Lisa gets to know more about the mummy, she begins to wonder whether Marion was killed because she knew something, or someone thought she did. Now Lisa wonders whether she might be next.

I really enjoyed this book. It is the first I have read by this author. It will definitely not be the last.

Lisa is such a wonderful character. Her friends and new love interest really add to the story. I can’t wait to find out about their next adventure.

I highly recommend this book.

"Highly authentic, written by an archaeologist, BOUND FOR ETERNITY is a great read. The museum setting was both eerie and fascinating. I hope to see Lisa Donahue in many books to come."
