"Amelia Peabody is Elizabeth Peters' best loved and brilliant creation, a thoroughly Victorian feminist who takes the stuffy world of archaeology by storm with her shocking men's pants and no-nonsense attitude!
In this first Egyptian mystery, our headstrong heroine decides to use her substantial inheritance to see the world. On her travel, she rescues a gentlewoman in distress - Evelyn Barton-Forbes - and the two become friends. The two companions continue to Egypt where they face mysteries, mummies and the redoubtable Radcliffe Emerson, and outspoken archaeologist, who doesn't need women to help him solve mysteries - at least that's what he thinks!"
( I just finished listening to this on audio today and totally enjoyed it! Be sure to click on both the title and the author's name to find out more information.)

ReplyDeleteYou introduced me to this series over at BAM when we did The Serpent on the Crown and I wanted to enjoy more of the same. I liked this original one even better than I did the later one!
