Welcome to Litsy!

#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 This was another one of Amelia Peabody‘s fun archaeological adventures in Egypt which, of course, turned into a murder mystery. Amelia also is again hot on the trail of the Master Criminal. The last couple of chapters didn‘t verge on the edge of the ridiculous, the author took a cheerful leap in with both feet. I teetered back and forth between laughter and embarrassment at the silliness of it all.

Like Emerson, I was a bit tired of hearing about the MASTER CRIMINAL but honestly these books are just such good fun that even the MC drama stayed pretty entertaining, even if the ending feels rather ridiculous. Ramses is still spoiled, but incrementally less obnoxious in this one. Overall I'm enjoying my reread of this series, but looking forward to the later books where Ramses is older and more a part of the team.

Ramses showing up his parents every time.

Spending time with Peabody. (Audible)

Coming back to this cozy mystery series after a while. Amelia Peabody is quite an enjoyable character and the location, Egypt, lends alot to the character of the mystery.

Interspersed with Agatha Christie audiobooks, I've been listening to Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody mysteries. Funnier than I remember them being. Lots of fun.

I continue to love this series, even though the stories are generally the same. This one had some new twists with a reoccurring character and an older Ramses. Still excited for the next one!

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

My own Lion in the Valley wasn‘t too keen on sitting still to pose, but I figure this will do. I‘m really enjoying this series as I still seem in the pattern I had during pregnancy of reading historical murder mysteries and romance novels. Twin infants suck up a lot of time! 😹 Been working on this one for a while. Love Peabody, Emerson and Ramses as usual. #catsoflitsy

I'm really enjoying listening to this book on my long commute. The writing keeps me laughing and I love all the distinct voices from the narrator.

Another fun romp in Egypt with the Emmersons. I do so enjoy the back & forth between Peabody & her professor. Ramses adds a bit of spice as well. Again they face off against the Master Criminal whose designs may not all be centered on dealing in stolen antiquities. Great fun & I‘m looking forward to the next 😊

I absolutely love the Amelia Peabody books!! Elizabeth Peters‘ (Barbara Mertz) is a fabulous writer! I need to get the next few as I am almost done with this one!

Has to be Sethos, the Master Criminal, a recurring character in the Amelia Peabody series

Just under 5.5 hours in, and done with book 3 for the weekend and 15/100 for the year. Really enjoying my re-read of this series. #24in48

A bit behind where I‘d planned to be, but chugging along nicely... #24in48

It has been a long time since I read any titles from this series. This was a perfect escapist (so over-the-top) and fun mystery with Master Criminals and very funny lead characters in Amelia, Emerson and Ramses. Lots of fun.

Lovely way to spend a warm day #furbaby #mystery #Egypt #audible #reread

Another #characterfromthenaughtylist for today's #seasonreadings2016. Sethos is definitely on the naughty list, and oh my goodness do I want to be on his! This book cemented my love for him in my favorite series of all time. 💕💕💕
