Publisher's summary

Kids, get ready to meet your new heroes! In book one of the Botanic Hill Detectives Mysteries series, four modern-day teen sleuths take on ancient Egypt and those intent on stopping their investigation.

World-famous Egyptologist Dr. Winston Thornsley died suddenly, two months ago, in disgrace. His widow Ida Thornsley remains convinced her husband was falsely accused of stealing an ancient burial urn he discovered in Egypt, last summer. The local and federal law enforcement officers are stumped.

Mrs. Thornsley, desperate for answers, calls in her 13-year-old neighbors, the Botanic Hill Detectives - twins Lanny and Lexi Wyatt, Moki Kalani, and Rani Kumar. Their exciting mission? To find the urn and its real thief, bring the criminal to justice, and exonerate Dr. Thornsley, so his spotless reputation can be restored.

A roomful of venomous snakes, the poisoned Egyptian pond, and Dragon Pit Man are just a few of the tests awaiting the four tech-savvy teenagers. As the detectives begin to unravel the sinister plot, the mystery takes a dangerous turn. Answers are at their fingertips - if they can only convince their parents to let them solve the case.

Exciting mystery for kids, big and small

I enjoyed this book. Exciting, suspenseful, scary in parts and a smart puzzle-mystery to try to solve.
Each of the 4 teens has special skills and knowledge (including synesthesia) which helps to unravel the twisted threads of the mystery from different angles. I love how they joke around but get serious and helpful when the chips are down.
And to quote Indiana Jones, "does there have to be SNAKES! I hate snakes!"
A satisfying ending too.
