The Curse of the Pharaohs (Amelia Peabody Series, Book #2) by Elizabeth Peters
Raising her son with her husband, Radcliffe Emerson, in Victorian England, Egyptologist Amelia Peabody can't help fantasizing about the dust and detritus of ancient civilizations. Her dreams suddenly come true when a damsel in distress -- coupled with a promising archaeological site -- demands their immediate prsence in Egypt. The damsel is Lady Baskerville and the site is a tomb in Luxor that has been haunted by bizarre circumstances, including the strange death of Lady Baskerville's husband. Amelia and Radcliffe arrive to find the camp in disarray, the workers terrified, and an eccentric group of guests at the excavation. Determined to bring order to the chaos, Amelia investigates the mysteries afoot. But standing between Amelia and her beloved antiquities is a force of evil -- one that may be as old and terrible as the pharaohs themselves.
