Daughter of Isis
Her life changed almost overnight!
All of Ellen's eighteen years had been spent in Cwm Bedd, a tiny village in Wales. She loved the countryside...but with her newfound womanhood, she yearned for something more.
And then one day it happened.
A strange parcel containing an ivory heart and a cryptic message, a summons to the mansion of the local lord...
...and almost before she knew what hit her, a trip to Egypt, exotic land of mystery, danger — and romance!

Hmmn...
I do like Belinda Grey, but 'Daughter of Isis' - notwithstanding it's the usual length for the old Masquerade Historical Romances - just felt a bit long winded. There is a mystery sub-plot to fill in the (frequent) interludes where the heroine and hero are separated, but for anyone who managed to unravel The Secret Seven, the 'who-dunnit' is solvable about two-thirds of the way through the book.
It's a shame, as the novel has a promising premise - young woman travels to Egypt to unravel secrets from her archaeologist father's past and encounters romance and adventure - but somehow it just doesn't really deliver on that. I'm rating this book a two-and-a-half star vintage romance read.
