It is absolutely pouring here today…
I’m off work, and don’t have to go anywhere. There are things I SHOULD be doing, but, instead, I am curled up with my cup of tea (Earl Grey, hot, of course!) and a good book. An old friend, this time. I’m enjoying THE MUMMY CASE, by Elizabeth Peters. One of the early Amelia Peabody Emerson novels, it is a wonderful book, full of (dare I say?) eccentric characters, and glimpses of 19th century archaeology in Egypt, with a murder mystery thrown in for good measure. These books are always a satisfying read, fun and well-paced, and full of interesting details designed to capture and keep the reader’s attention. Can you think of a better way to spend a rainy afternoon?
Now I’m going to have to look for the book, it’s not one I know… and if it’s one of a series it’s going to cost… oh well. Blog on 🙂
No worries, Gill! None of the books I’ve discussed so far have been one of a series. Thanks for visiting and commenting!
