The story is still adventurous and imaginative, but now it is totally predictable. I’m really interested in Irina’s character, and I hope we’ll meet Ian and Natalie again.
He stood in front of three vitrines lined up in a row. Each held an identical statue of the lion-headed goddess Sakhet. The statues were only about eight inches high and appeared to be made of solid gold. Only their eyes were different. One glittered with green stones, one with red, one with blue.
"Sakhet. The most powerful goddess of them all. Goddess of divine retribution and vengeance. Legend says that Ra once sent her against his enemies and she nearly destroyed the entire human race."
"Whoa, that's one Rambo goddess," Dan said.

Truly be wary of anyone, even those who may present themselves as friends.
Egypt is such a rich country, steeped in mystery. Who hasn't heard of Ancient Egypt and their riches and secrets? Amy and Dan find themselves in the modern day country, searching for clues left by their long ago ancestors - and some by their very own grandmother, the baffling Grace.
Who can they trust at this point? Alistair appears to be alive, but hasn't bothered to let them know. He is hunted by his hateful uncle, Bae Oh, who doesn't have any sympathy to a couple of orphaned children, as long as it gets his branch, Ekaterina, to the front of the race.
What are Irina's motives? At times, she appears to be kind and helpful, but mostly she seems to want to stop them at any cost, even their lives.
Dan and Amy are racing the clock at this point. Can they get ahead of the other teams, even while being hunted themselves?

Jude Watson did a fine job of letting us in on a few more Cahill secrets, but some additional mysteries remain. Amy and Dan have found the next clue and have had a near-run-in with the dreaded Madrigals, who have smashed up the Ekat stronghold in Cairo. Allastair Oh has returned from the dead (once again), the Kabras have been led astray to Lake Tash, and Jonah Wizard and his dad are on the way to Morocco after following a false lead. Hot on their trail is bad girl ex-KGB spy Irina, and we have no idea where the Holts are. We gain a little insight into her life, too.
SPOILER ALERT: The mystery code that begins on page 39 says: Alistair was there on the night they died. I believe this statement is referring to Amy and Dan's parents who perished in a fire. This implies that either: a) Allastair is responsible for that fire, or b) Alistair knows who killed Amy and Dan's parents.

My favorite in the entire 39 Clues series so far. I love the educational adventure that these books bring for kids. I'm quite fascinated with Egypt's history, and since Amy and Dan Cahill find themselves in Egypt for this volume, I was happy to be reading this book. Although it doesn't come from from a Christian perspective exactly, this particular book infused something Christian-related into the plot---VERY, very good, Jude Watson!
Now, there may have been a comment or two that I didn't quite enjoy in the story, but it all must be taken in stride. It will be a while before I read another 39 Clues book that excites me as much as this one!

Now stepping farther into this series than I ever have before (mostly due to my obsession with being a completionist), has made me both more intrigued than ever for what is going to come but also being truthful a bit nervous on the books being able to continue this suspense through completion. I really hope so, with this book still given a few good twists and action pieces but all in all I was a bit more bored with the middle half of this one and it definitely doesn’t hit as strong as the previous novel did at least to me.

growing up is realizing that Nellie is insane and needs to work on some work-life balance boundaries

The chase continues as 14 year-old Amy Cahill and her 11 year-old brother Dan rush off to Cairo, Egypt in search of the next clue. You can feel the heat and smell the exotic spices as we catch up with the duo at the Khan market. Two new characters are introduced in this book, Theo, an Indiana Jones-type Egyptologist and Hilary, who is the childhood best friend of Grace, Amy and Dan’s dead grandmother. Instantly likable, they play an important part in the story.
Amy and Dan learn a little about Grace’s past through Hilary who gives them a card with a message from their grandmother. But the message seems so detached they begin to question why their grandmother (whom they miss terribly) would send them on such a dangerous hunt. This doubting causes pain and friction between the brother and sister, adding internal conflict as the team escape a scary crocodile encounter, a submarine disaster, being buried alive in an Egyptian tomb, and the clutches of the Ekaterina branch members. Alistair Oh makes a brief appearance, but it is Irina Spasky who is close on their tail this time.
In addition, it is Irina’s vulnerable side that is revealed in this book. She has a painful history attached to that of Grace, making the reader wonder what exactly happened. I’m getting really curious about Nellie Gomez, too, the children’s au pair who has the uncanny ability to get them out of scraps time and time again. She has very convenient talents. I am certain this isn’t coincidence, and I look forward to seeing how it all plays out in the next books. Finally, I was somewhat disappointed with the way things ended up with Hilary. I would have liked for this relationship to end differently.
I must add that the titles of the books have double significance. For example, Beyond the Grave is a good indication the next clue is somewhere in a grave, but also hints at Grace’s message coming from “beyond the grave” since she is already dead when they receive it. It's a cool play on words, which, by the way, is how the clues are discovered in all the books.
This book was another exciting adventure that has me waiting to read the next book in this fun series suitable for all ages.

gente, eu achei esse livro tão bem escrito
to chocada com a composição que a Jude Watson colocou na história, e em como a Amy e o Dan amadureceram
é de chorar o quanto eles estão unidos pra fazer com que a vontade da avó valha realmente a pena, e o quanto eu to afeiçoada tanto a eles, quanto à Nellie e ao Saladin
e fora toda a carga emocional que é abordada nesse 4° livro, a Jude coloca também MUITA cultura egípcia, e eu achei tão FODA toda a pesquisa que foi feita
em cada livro você conhece locais diferentes e é como se realmente estivesse lá com todos os personagens principais
Além do Túmulo não foca especificamente na 4° pista das 39, mas valeu muito muito a pena ter lido
ficou no coração real, única ressalva foi realmente o comecinho que foi meio paradinho, mas depois só muito amor

Неплохо, но мне чего-то не хватало на протяжении книги. Главный минус - много сердечных страданий Эми по Яну. Ту мач. Египет прописан отлично, я даже прониклась духом пустыни и дна Нила. Да, его самого, куда их только не заносит во время поисков ключей. Кстати, в этой части много размышлений и переживаний персонажей. Это хорошо, так как раз уже здесь со всем разобрались, то в следующих частях все буде куда более бодрее и приправлено тонной экшена. Между прочем, здесь его так же хватает, причем даже сполна, но хочется чего-то более эпичного. Мне любопытно сколько книг они будут собирать эти ключи. Вот ну серьезно. Радует хоть что мы знаем что они ищут (надеюсь "это" будет то, о чем они говорили в предыдущей книге. впрочем, с авторов там станется надумать что-то невообразимое).
Иду читать следующую. На очереди путешествие по России.

A Quickie Review
Like the previous books in the series, this one features kid adventurers Dan and Amy Cahill in one predicament after another. Fans of the series up to this point will definitely enjoy this one; it may have been a quick read for me, but this kid at heart had a good time with it!
Score: 4/5

Nəhayət ki, kitabların tam versiyasını tapdıqdan sonra seriyaya davam etməyə başladım. Bu uşaq kitablarından gözləntim nədir, bilmirəm. Amma arada dincəlmək üçün əlavə vasitədir. Baş qəhrəmanların hər yollandığı ölkə barədə danışması, axtarışları verməsi istər-istəməz bizi də məlumatlandırır. good

The series has gotten more predictable now. I loved the development on the siblings , Irina and I'm looking forward to more of it.
Egyptians facts , myths is the one more star that made my rating from 2-3

- Egypt! I love that there was so much Egyptian mythology and history woven into the story. There were so many descriptions of museums and sites that I wanted to be there, crocodiles and all.
- Alister, we finally learn, is actually a good guy, or at least has their best interests at heart.
- It was so sweet when Amy and Dan learned that their grandmother hadn't just abandoned them or thrown them in the competition with the rest of the family. She really had just given them special clues that everyone else didn't know.
- Theo and Hilary were a bit predictable. Honestly, though, it was funny when Theo complained about his wages as an Egyptologist. Like most professionals, he really doesn't get paid enough for the work he does.

Coming over from their journey in Japan and Korea, Dan and Amy find themselves in Cairo, lost in a city with practically no leads.
This book takes a turn from the clue-hunt thriller narrative to something that dwells more on the past. It focuses more on Amy and Dan and their relationship with Grace as they uncover new things about their grandmother. Even other competitors in the game find themselves doting on this one Cahill who has recently passed away.
It still has the clue-hunt plot line with moments that it shines through, but for the most part, the two children are guided through the book by other agencies than their own. The book is more about the past and remembrance than it is about the present as Grace heavily influences the narrative in this installment.
Compared to the rest I've read this far, the narrative is quite slower and based far more on an emotional foundation than one of exciting competition.
Pretty good read with its own set of twists and turns.

The 39 clues: Beyond the grave is a book of adventure.4 people named Dan,Nellie, Amy,Grace arrived to Egypt and found a scroll or sign with challenge to solve the 39 clues and find Cleopatra's treasure.
My favorite character is Dan because he's funny and brave.My favorite scene is when the crowd pushed Amy's face to the glass, that's pretty funny.The scariest scene is when Dan and Amy were attacked by Nile crocodiles.
Something that i didn't like about the book when you start reading the book you get confused.Also you might get lost in the book in page 47 through 101.
I recommend people that love adventure and mystery.I think people age 9-15 should read this book because there might be scary scenes in the book.I hope you read my comment on 39 Clues:Beyond the grave and you should read it. Thx for reading Enjoy :)

This book was mainly that sometimes the reward is worth the risk. In this book and series the reward is nothing short of the chance of world domination, the reward making you the most powerful person in the world. This time in Egypt, Dan and Amy are still searching for more clues in the hunt for 39. They go through many dangers and as usual dodge death many times. But they still stay in the hunt, showing time and time again that they think the rewards of the hunt are worth the risks for them.

The story continues in the forth book in The 39 Clues series. In this book the kids continue their journey in Egypt. They meet relatives in this book that they think will help them, but might end up betraying them. The kids thought that they were working together with their relatives to find the clues but they ended up betrayed by them. This book had the unexpected twist I truly enjoyed. I recommend this book and am looking forward to continue reading the books in this series. Two thumbs up.

I started this series to see whether it would be worth recommending to my best friends tween son — it definitely was and he loved them! This is an educational thriller for kids that is fun for adults too. I always learn at least one interesting new thing in each of these books. This installment is all things Egyptian.

Esse não foi tão lento quanto o 2, mas também não teve grandes emoções. Gostei muito da história se passar no Egito que é um local que gosto bastante de ler sobre.
A evolução da Amy e do Dan é grande e acho que agora eles vão ficar ainda mais unidos para desvendar as pistas. Fora isso estou curiosa com pra onde a história vai seguir já que não foi revelado nada.

Thank god this book was back on speed with the series. The characters acted more like themselves and the progress was more linear with the first few books.
I loved Ancient Egypt as a setting, it made the intrigue, clues, and such more interesting to me.
The only thing I really disliked was the end snippet. Usually, those are some of my favorite parts of the books, but this time it was lackluster for me. The information didn't provide anything we didn't already know and didn't leave on an exciting cliffhanger like other books.
