4.5 stars. Another very enjoyable m/m mystery romance novella by Lanyon. This story is about Drew, a professor suffering from the all too real fear of "publish or perish," who travels to examine an Egyptian mummy that's housed at a small town museum. Unfortunately, his appointment has been superseded by the filming of a reality television show that's exploring whether the mummy is cursed.Fraser, the show's handsome host, is excited about the potential of interviewing a bona fide specialist for his show, but Drew refuses under the guise of academic integrity (only to quickly relent after facing the potential of returning home with no data.) Things move along from there as our uptight professor and our gung-ho TV host find that working together isn't too terrible, a surprise surpassed only by the fact that there is actually a mummy running around.This is a very fun and light mystery romance, and I had a blast reading it. It was easy to warm up to Fraser, who seemed to be the perfect foil for Drew as well as very complementary. They had great developing chemistry, and I would look forward to any further adventures with them.The mystery is probably one of the lightest that I've read from Lanyon. The most stressful part probably was whenever Drew's lame-butt boyfriend entered the picture. But even though it was light on the tension, it was still very fun and engaging, and I had a hard time putting it down. It made me think that this would be a great "chaser" to any heavy reading. So, next time you finish a book that's thick with gnashing angst and sadness, this could be a great read to pick you up.
