“Another fine entry in the Amelia Peabody series. The cast of regulars is getting so large that it's almost hard to follow! Walter and Evelyn have a larger role and Cyrus and Kevin O'Connell are back as well, along with Abdullah and that cast of relatives and an enemy from the past. On top of that we get another new regular. Whew!

I enjoyed the fact that they settled near Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. It allowed for a more settled feeling amongst the adventure and allowed for all of the regulars to appear. Peters' knowledge of the history of the region and of archeology of the time is fun for those of us who studied it. The references to Howard Carter and his research is fun--put in as throw away lines makes it even better!”
“The Amelia Peabody Series: NOT set in ancient Egypt. The author holds a PH.D in Egyptianology, and her love of the subject shines through her entire huge series. If you don't want to start at the beginning read:1.The Last Camel Died at Noon, 2. Seeing a Large Cat 3.The Ape Who Guards the Balance 4. The Falcon at the Portal 5.He Shall Thunder in the Sky. They are set in the late 1890's-early 1900's. Exciting reads, authentic info about digging in tombs in that era, and the other charactors who inhabit the pages are authentic people of the time. There is a mystery in each book but more than that, each book builds upon the prior one to create a real sense of growth in this family of amateur Egyptologists, and we come to care about them. There is the usual sort of thing: fights, romances, confused identities, but this series is to me on a different level than the usual mystery series. ”
