Booklist, October 1, 2012

This Ancient Egyptian Wonders series entry explores the legend of King Tut's curse—it's origination, how it spread, and the remaining mysteries and search for answers. The title opens with Lord Carnarvon's 1923 death (one of the original discoverers of King Tut's tomb) and continues on to discuss Tutankhamen's life, rule, and death (including recent DNA testing, which indicates he had malaria) as well as the endeavors of those involved in the tomb's discovery. Additional chapters explore what fueled curse rumors, particularly the many deaths of those connected to the tomb. Descriptive, often anecdotally related text intersperses facts, sidebars, and sourced quoted material, along with color visuals ranging from maps to an ancient Egypt time line to photos of a sarcophagus and Tut's mummified head. Chapter notes and further reading add substance to this readable, engaging offering.
