Mummy Dearest

Written by Josh Lanyon

Narrated by Sean Crisden

Drew Lawson is racing against the clock. He's got a twenty-four-hour window to authenticate the mummy of Princess Merneith. If he's not at his boyfriend's garden party when that window closes, it'll be the final nail in their relationship coffin.

The last thing he needs traipsing on the final shred of his patience is brash, handsome reality show host Fraser Fortune, who's scheduled to film a documentary about the mummy's Halloween curse.

The opportunity to film a bona-fide professor examining the mummy is exactly the aura of authenticity Fraser needs. Except the grumpy PhD is a pompous ass on leave from his ivory tower. Yet something about Drew has Fraser using a word he doesn't normally have to draw upon: please.

With no time to waste—and a spark of attraction he can't deny—Drew reluctantly agrees to let Fraser follow his every move as he unwraps the mummy's secrets. Soon they're both making moves behind the scenes that even the dead can't ignore!

Reviews for Mummy Dearest

[dawn · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Fun simple mystery and romance.
I love a Josh Lanyon Mystery. This one involves Dr. Drew Lawson a college professor struggling to make tenure and tv host Fraser Fortune (that name - ha!) as they both try to examine the mummy of Princess Merneith in a struggling museum.

The two start out as enemies, but end up working together and are pulled into a reanimated mummy mystery.

Drew is dealing with a long term unsatisfying relationship with his boss back home. Fraser makes no mistake about being into Drew.

I love that this is called the XOXO Files, since Fraser admits to loving the X-Files, and that's why he has a mystery documentary show. Ha!

I listened to this on Scribd. Sean Crisden was an excellent narrator.
