So close to Egypt

Again, I've been super busy. I am almost finished with A River in the Sky.  I can tell you the tag on the Blind Date with a Book lied.  This is not a mystery that takes place in Egypt, but in Palestine (modern Israel).  There is kidnap, fever, spies, archeology, and riots; however, only mention of their time in Egypt.  They are currently banned from Egypt for reasons unknown to me.  I'm sure if I read the rest of the series, I would know the reason why.
