I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

The Last Camel Died at Noon | Elizabeth Peters

Pickpick

I listened to the next one (No. 6) in the Amelia Peabody series and liked it very much. The change of the setting and storyline, which were the quite similar in the first four, definitely made No. 5 and this one more interesting. The notion of finding a society hidden from our modern day world reminded me very much of Balck Panther and Wakanda. 😊

What I Know about You | ric Chacour

WHAT I KNOW ABOUT YOU is my penultimate book from this year‘s Canada Reads Longlist, and it‘s yet another I‘d like to see jump to the shortlist in a year or two. While I can‘t say there‘s anything truly unexpected in the story, Chacour draws the reader into his characters‘ world so completely that I forget I know pretty well what‘s coming. And hey, I‘ve still got 80 pages or so left, so he might surprise me!

Murder at the Mena House | Erica Ruth Neubauer

My reading is a bit fragmented as we're travelling around Europe at the moment so I'm not getting the best sense of this one. Though we're told at the beginning that it's set in Egypt in 1926 I can't really identify the time period from the story other than early (first half) 20th century.

humouress Because my reading, especially at the beginning, has been piecemeal I‘m not quite au fait with the secondary character list 2mo

The Deeds of the Disturber | Elizabeth Peters

Pickpick

After the last two novels which have been rather disappointing, this one was a new start. For the first time the mystery is not placed in Egypt, but London. It is still situated in surrounding of Egyptology and Archaelogy and plays well with the media‘s frenzy regarding everything that did have to do with Old Egypt. And of course there is Ramses…

Mehso-so

This one does have a similar plot to the first of the Amelia Peabody novels. A lot of assumed personae, one or two murders and the Master Criminal. The only satisfying point is that the MC won‘t be part of the following novels. And of course Ramses is lighting up the the wholw story with his stoic comments and creative ways to notoriously have his way around the rules and bans of his mother.

bookandbedandtea I love Ramses! Most of the time he's my favorite character in the series. 2mo
