Lady Jane Roseblood is a notorious adventuress in Victorian England and sex at the top of her list of things to do. She’s read the Eastern Arts of the Bed Chamber at a young age, and knows about the esoteric sect who practices orgies. But if there is a mystery to be solved, you can expect to see Lady Jane there working on the case and she keeps her own council. Now, she’s faced with trying to find out why her two friends, Lord Faversham, and Sylvia Cottingly disappeared while on an Egyptian dig. She meets the Detective Inspector Stoker at the British Museum by accident, on a visit to an old friend. They instantly become partners in solving the mysterious burglary cases of several wealthy homes in London.

Lady Jane and the Egyptian Curse is not a story you would expect from the English society. I was quite surprised the more I read about Lady Jane’s adventures, and the fact that her father never even tried to stop her, but financed her independence instead. She is a little too bold with her life by having sex, with males or females whenever it pleased her, and it was very interesting how she lifts the curse. This young lady is a nymphomaniac and never seems to be satisfied for long. The inspector is devoted to his job, and did a wonderful job of solving his cases.

Ms. Le Brocq has done a fantastic job of telling about ancient Egyptian times, and what could happen to someone if one they are not respectful of other cultures. I can only hope that she writes more about Lady Jane and Inspector Stoker’s, whether working together, or apart.
