Anyone read Elizabeth Peters?

Postby Ilexia » Fri Apr 27, 2012 10:48 am

She writes a series of mystery novels about a family of archaeologists in late 19th century Egypt. The star of her books is Amelia Peabody. I love the different characters and how she writes them with humor and emotion. All her books are fun reads and I'd love to know if anyone else has read any of hers.

yes but I prefer the books under her other name barbara michaels. I got a little tired of the Egypt series but quiet enjoyed some of the others. My favorite Elizabeth Peters book is (i think) the richard III murders. She has about 3 books about a librarian. My favorite Barbara Michaels book was Amie Come Home.

I love the Elizabeth Peters novels. Haven't read any for a time, though. I need to move a couple of her novels to the top of my TBR pile.
