One of the best-loved of mystery writers weaves another tale of intrigue featuring Amelia Peabody and Radcliffe Emerson of "Crocodile on the Sandbank". This time the willful and witty duo must catch a murderer at an excavation of an ancient Egyptian tomb
This is the second book in the Amelia Peabody series.
The first one was better, but this one was enjoyable just the same.
One thing annoyed me.
Emerson and Amelia are now married.
They have a son named Ramses.
Amelia has no maternal inclinations at all.
She has no problem leaving her child for months at a time, even when he was very young.
Also, the baby talk is extremely irritating.
In spite of this, it is still a good story and I look forward to reading more of Amelia and Emerson.
Amazon prices on these books tend to fluctuate.
Most of them are about $8.00, but they mark some of them down to about $2 from time to time. I've gotten 4 of them for that price. I hope they do more soon!
Oh! I almost forgot to say- I finally realized who Amelia reminds me of.
Captain Janeway of Star Trek: Voyager!
