I've totally read this series out of order (#18,14,17,6,10) because before I joined GRs in 2009, I didn't really understand the concept of series books. Now that I'm more aware, I decided to start this series from the beginning because I was dying to know how Amelia met Emerson. I just love their s...
Update for re-read:I read the first of the Amelia Peabody books about 20 years ago. When I saw it available on my library's download site, I thought it might be fun to revisit the book. Crocodile on the Sandbank is still as good as I remember. While the mystery wasn't too hard to figure out, I st...

It was wonderful to see a 19th century woman portrayed as self-confident, intelligent and oh so capable of taking care of herself as well as taking charge of the situation around her. No shrinking violet was Amelia Peabody - but a woman who gave as good as she got and then so...
I love this book (Ramses is probably hovering at just about his most delightfully obnoxious, though he may be more so in the next two books), but I really, really regret downloading this audio version from the library instead of buying Barbara Rosenblatt's superlative one at Audible. Rosenblatt is j...
I love Amelia Peabody! I want to be Amelia Peabody when I grow up. What a great read. Love the characters, setting, dialogues, and plot. I hope the rest of the series holds up.
