"fun romantic amateur sleuth"

SummaryPR specialist Cassie Cooper, who made trouble for her twin
sister, Maddie, in Wilde's previous romantic adventure,
Charmed and Dangerous (2004), has planned an Egyptian
costume benefit at Fort Worth's Kimbell Art Museum to
celebrate the reunion of the separated amulet that once
belonged to Kiya and Solen, Egyptian lovers from 3,000 years
ago. The benefit gets off to a bad start with the stabbing
and disappearance of a man in a mummy costume and the theft
of Kiya's part of the amulet. When Dr. Adam Grayfield fails
to appear at the party with Solen's section of the amulet,
Cassie's boss threatens to fire her. In a comical, if less
than credible scene, Adam's nerdy archeologist brother,
Harrison, saves Cassie's job by asserting that the theft of
Kiya's amulet was staged and party-goers must try to solve
the mystery. Cassie and Harrison's search for Adam and the
pilfered amulet is coupled with overblown romantic tension
and outlandish encounters with their pursuers. The
imperfections of the protagonists (Cassie is not model thin,
and Harrison isn't a fierce tough guy) add realism to the
read, which, if nothing else, is adequate escapist fare.
