The day of the field trip to Midville Museum for Cedar Creek's 8th grade class should have been ordinary, but some force in the Egyptian exhibit, determined to get paranormal detective Mallory Gilmartin's attention, violently shakes the ground floor when their class tries to leave. Later that night, still unnerved by her experience in the museum, Mallory awakens to find the walls of her bedroom pulsating with a bright red light. A scarab has followed her home from the exhibit. It needs her help to right an ancient wrong.
If our intrepid sleuth is to unravel the mystery of what happened in the distant past and free the spirits trapped in the "World Between Worlds", she must find the answers before the exhibit is packed up and returned to Cairo. Between a moving statue, a restless mummy, and a talking scarab, a dangerous arcane priest skilled in dark magic has suddenly made his appearance, determined to stop Mallory from solving this strange mystery.
Children's author, Anne Loader McGee, has done it again with the third book in her Cedar Creek Mystery series, The Mystery Beneath Midville Museum. This adventure with its non-stop action and paranormal intrigue is a 'must read' for all lovers of mystery.
