There're Mummies and then There're Mummies

The mummies in this book, The Stolen Queen by Fiona Davis are:

           Hathorkare--female Egyptian Pharoah mummy
          Charlotte--Egyptologist who tragically loses her daughter
          Anne's Mother--selfish woman

The story begins with Charlotte working in Egypt as an archeologist.  She falls in love, marries, and has a daughter.  Tragedy strikes.

Anne is working to support her mother, who is constantly trying to marry someone rich.  Anne gets her dream job, working in fashion.

The scene shifts to Charlotte in New York, working in a museum. Anne is involved in using Charlotte's museum as a backdrop for a fashion show.

A valuable necklace is stolen.

Charlotte goes to Egypt looking for answers.  Since Anne was fired, she tags along with Charlotte.  The adventure, and mystery, lead the two ladies into a lasting friendship.
