Review by: Rachel Birch, book fan
This is the first of nineteen Amelia Peabody novels by Elizabeth Peters. This is one of my favorite, if not favorite, series. These books have everything a reader would want: action, adventure, romance and mystery. The novels are set in 19th century England and Egypt. Amelia Peabody is the primary character who is an egyptology enthusiast.
In CROCODILE ON THE SANDBANK, Amelia goes to Egypt to have an adventurous vacation with a female companion. While in Egypt, she meets archelogist Radcliff Emerson whom she continues to "run" into throughout the book. Their chemistry is undeniable! Throughout the book Amelia is pestered by a mummy, mysteries regarding her female companion and of course Radcliff Emerson.
This novel is a romp and recommended to anyone who needs a great laugh and a fun mystery.
