The Osiris Ritual

by George Mann, 319 pgs, hardcover
Series: A Newbury & Hobbes Investigation book 2
Overall Grade: B+

Again we adventure with Sir Maurice Newbury, agent of Queen Victoria, and Miss Veronica Hobbes. This time Newbury is intrigued by the murders surrounding a group of gentlemen explorers just returned from Egypt. Might it somehow be related to the rouge agent he's been assigned by the Queen to track and bring in? Meanwhile Miss Hobbes is busy investigating the mysterious disappearances of young women that coincide with iterinary of a travelling magician.
As you might expect after 'The Affinity Bridge', all these mysteries are going to end up tied together by the end...
