Can‘t wait for Ramses to be part of the team! 😂
While listening to the first book of the series, Crocodile on the Sandbank, I realized that the characters felt somewhat familiar, so I went through my library and found a German version of the second book and an “old” audiobook of book no. 14 on TAPES!!! 🙈🤣🙈🤣🙈 I must have read/listened to them years ago and never realized they are part of a series. 🤦♀️ I am starting it now!!! 💪

Rereading Crocodile on the Sandbank last month gave me the momentum I needed to start rereading this whole series. I really enjoyed this book even more the second time around. Amelia and Emerson are just a fantastic couple, and Amelia's narration is hilarious. The historical detail is also excellent. And maybe by the time I'm done rereading this series I'll remember whether it's spelled pharoah, phaoroh, or pharaoh. 😂
#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 The first book in this series didn‘t contain a single murder, an interesting choice to start off a mystery series. This, the second book in the series, made up for that absence by providing us with multiple victims. I enjoy Amelia‘s character and the way she takes charge of every situation. And she has met her match 💯 in Emerson. And Ramses is simply marvelous!!
Veggie dog mummies, tun-not pasta salad, & blueberry car cakes for Eliot tomorrow 🥙 goes with the theme of another excellent Amelia Peabody mystery 🕵️ I guessed the murderer immediately (as did Amelia) but still enjoyed the why & how 📚ready for more! & excited for their precocious son to join them in the next installment
This precious face passed away in February. He was the best reading buddy ever and I miss him terribly. Curling up with a book just isn't the same without him. 😔 His name was Ramses after Amelia Peabody's son in the tagged series. Love you so much, Little Man. 3/5/10-2/28/22 💔
I enjoyed this second in the Amelia Peabody historical mystery series as much as the debut title! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Who knows books with male main characters
Trying book 2 in the Amelia Peabody Series as an audiobook. Read book 1 a few years ago, and to be fair wasn‘t overly impressed, but first book in the series so thought I‘d give book 2 a try given the recommendations on Litsy.
I‘m flying through this series because these books are just so much fun! They have substance but they‘re light in tone, which can be so refreshing sometimes. Amelia Peabody Emerson is clever, humorous, and very human, which makes her a fun heroine.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love these books! Amelia Peabody as a detective and her narration are so entertaining. I love all the little witty comments about womanhood and her husband throughout. Peabody is one of my favourite characters of all time!

Just a few of the early ones of the wonderful Amelia Peabody series
Reading this fun desert read while staying warm after a snowfall.
The Amelia Peabody series is such a fun read.
Listening to a new audiobook! This is the second book in the Amelia Peabody mystery series.

#smugmarrieds The Emersons may be my favorite married couple in all literature. #junebookbugs
I listened to this book on our road trip to Lake Tahoe this week. Also I knit some more of these blue striped socks.
I love all the Amelia Peabody mysteries! They are great to listen to with the family. The reader does all the accents and voices too.
After a mediocre first installment, I wanted to read the second book as this series has many high reviews. Unfortunately this book was as tedious and predictable as the first - with an annoyingly similar storyline.
So many of my friends LOVE Amelia Peabody, and I get why. She's spunky and funny, and her banter with Emerson is lots of fun. But she frustrates me. I get tired of a character who has so little self-awareness or willingness to admit when she's wrong! Add in several unfunny stereotypes played for laughs... and I wasn't really feelin' it on this one.
As if I didn't have enough on my reading plate at the moment... this one just got auto-checked out onto my Kindle! More Amelia Peabody is a good thing, though...
