it was amazing

What a dramatic book! My, my. Even if you don't get the chance to read every single Amelia Peabody book, you should definitely READ THIS ONE. For some of the characters, it's a bit life-changing...

"Why can't you and Emerson have a single season of excavation without becoming involved with desperate criminals?"

...Good question, Evelyn. Excellent question. But one that we readers don't wish actually answered.

Amelia Peabody is a female Sherlock Holmes. This lady is so good at detect clues, it's crazy. One particular speech of hers (around page 30) resounded with such Holmesian logic that it was just so good.

SPOILER! There's a death, one that hits close to the family, and will resonate with fans of the series too. I myself found it a bit shocking.

Don't miss this book!

Best recommended for adult readers.
