All of the Amelia Peabody [Emerson} books are great, particularly the earlier ones. If you like to read about Egyptian archaeology, intrigue, and a really interesting late 19th to early 20th century English, archaeologist family, you'll like these books. And Elizabeth Peters (aka) knows her stuff I guess one of the things I really like about her books is that she sets the time period to the Howard Carter years and brings in lots of the local contemporary Egyptian culture from that time period as well. And the "tongue in cheek" humor is really great!

Many of Amelia adventures stand out, but this one really does. To say way would be giving the story away. Enough to say read this one.

Another in the Amerlia Peabody series....her new expedition to the Valley of the Kings, Upper Egypt, 1907.

Amelia Peabody at her outrageous best. One of the best books in the series

If you like Indiana Jones, this one's for you

Wonderful Amelia Peabody murder mystery! Ah, Egypt!

Not my cup of tea, but my friend loved it!

mystery at it's best

The Amelia Peabody books are the best - witty, tongue-in-cheek, completely engaging. This one has some particularly cool bits.

Wow, wow, wow! Amelia Peabody Emerson is at it again. The plot thickens. A new/old predator is after her. The plot thickens as disturbing personal problems decend on the Emerson clan. This is a real page turner!!
