Snake, the Crocodile, and the Dog | Elizabeth Peters
23 posts | 27 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
The 19th-century Egyptologist must rescue her kidnapped husband, find the culprit, and save her marriage in this delightful seventh adventure for beloved heroine Amelia Peabody.With Nefret, now a ward of Amelia and Emerson, and Ramses at home pursuing their studies, the couple returns to Amarna in 1898 for a dig that promises to be just like old times. The trip turns out to be more like old times than they plan, however, when they become the targets of a Master Criminal's evil plot. Emerson is kidnapped, and Amelia rescues him to discover that he has lost his memory. Tantalizingly close to her most important discovery yet, a tomb that may have been Nefertiti's, Amelia needs to turn her attention to regaining her husband's love.

Earlier in the Quarantimes, the TiVo box in our bedroom broke and we started listening to audiobooks at bedtime instead. We have a new TiVo up there now, but the audiobooks have stuck - mostly because Him Indoors fell in love with the Amelia Peabody series. We‘re now on book 7 and I‘m really enjoying revisiting the series.

Very funny adventure as Peabody and Emerson return to Egypt without Ramses and Nefret

Not a super enthusiastic pick (mostly because of the ending), but Peters is so delightfully witty that I find myself chuckling a lot. Finished up the audiobook for my first #24in48 book.

Quite late posting my intro survey for #24in48, but I've been lazing in bed, listening to this audiobook. Off to walk the dog now! 🐶

LauraBrook Yes! I'm so glad you're doing this! I forgot to sign up, but I'll be unofficially participating anyways. And thank your daughter for marching today - I have to work or I'd be out at a local march myself. 🙌🏼 Hope you're getting a whole mess of reading done! 😘 9y
Readerann @LauraBrook Hi RAT pal! So glad you're here! I'll pop over and see what you're reading. We will be marching in our hearts! On that note, I am starting We Should All Be Feminists now. 9y

Now these are definitely candidates for #bestblurbs #seasonsreadings2016 ! Amelia Peabody is the actual best, and I'm so glad people recognize it! "Arguably the most potent female force to hit Egypt since Cleopatra"!! ???

Laura317 Love Peabody and Emerson. 9y
LeslieO I listened to these on audio read by Barbara Rosenblatt. She does a great Emerson. 9y
Readerann I agree the audiobooks are great. She does Peabody, Emerson, AND Ramses well! 9y

(internal monologue re: #rereads - I don't reread much; there's too many new unread things. Except JE, P&P, and Xmas Carol. Oh, and HP, but that's HP-a law unto itself so it doesn't count. And there's all the audiobook "rereads" of things I've read in print...oh hell. It's no wonder my TBR list doesn't shrink) ?? Anywho...I usually only listen to audio of books I've already read. Barbara Rosenblatt is PERFECT as Peabody.

PurpleyPumpkin I recently learned this secret to rereading. Audiobooks make SUCH a difference!👌🏼 9y
LectricSheep This series looks like so much fun! Do they need to be read in order? (My library only has Crocodile on the Sandbar and The Mummy Case right now) 9y
DGRachel @LectricSheep I would recommend reading them in order to avoid spoilers. They're probably fine out of order as one-off stories, but there are details that build through the series. 9y
LectricSheep Gotcha. Thanks for the advice! 9y
