Lion in the Valley
Lion in the Valley | Elizabeth Peters
17 posts | 37 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
The 1985-96 season promises to be an exceptional one for Egyptologist Amelia Peabody, her dashing husband Emerson and their precocious eight-year-old son Rameses. The much-coveted burial chamber in Dahshoor is theirs for the digging. Yet there is a great evil in the wind that caresses the hot sands sweeping through the bustling streets and marketplaces of Cairo. An expedition cursed by misfortune and the daring moonlit abduction of Rameses alerts Amelia to the presence of her arch-enemy, the Master Criminal. And his is now a personal quest for the most valuable and elusive prize of all: vengeance on the meddling lady archaeologist with the parasol who has sworn to deliver him to justice...Amelia Peabody herself!

Coming back to this cozy mystery series after a while. Amelia Peabody is quite an enjoyable character and the location, Egypt, lends alot to the character of the mystery.

Interspersed with Agatha Christie audiobooks, I've been listening to Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody mysteries. Funnier than I remember them being. Lots of fun.

I continue to love this series, even though the stories are generally the same. This one had some new twists with a reoccurring character and an older Ramses. Still excited for the next one!

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

My own Lion in the Valley wasn‘t too keen on sitting still to pose, but I figure this will do. I‘m really enjoying this series as I still seem in the pattern I had during pregnancy of reading historical murder mysteries and romance novels. Twin infants suck up a lot of time! 😹 Been working on this one for a while. Love Peabody, Emerson and Ramses as usual. #catsoflitsy

I'm really enjoying listening to this book on my long commute. The writing keeps me laughing and I love all the distinct voices from the narrator.

Another fun romp in Egypt with the Emmersons. I do so enjoy the back & forth between Peabody & her professor. Ramses adds a bit of spice as well. Again they face off against the Master Criminal whose designs may not all be centered on dealing in stolen antiquities. Great fun & I‘m looking forward to the next 😊

KathyWheeler Lion in the Valley is one of my favorite Peters‘ books. 6y
SheilaChew @RealLifeReading It‘s a dishcloth. I usually knit one on a road trip because I can‘t read patterns in the car! 6y
SheilaChew @KathyWheeler I love every Amelia Peabody book! 6y

Just under 5.5 hours in, and done with book 3 for the weekend and 15/100 for the year. Really enjoying my re-read of this series. #24in48

It has been a long time since I read any titles from this series. This was a perfect escapist (so over-the-top) and fun mystery with Master Criminals and very funny lead characters in Amelia, Emerson and Ramses. Lots of fun.

Another #characterfromthenaughtylist for today's #seasonreadings2016. Sethos is definitely on the naughty list, and oh my goodness do I want to be on his! This book cemented my love for him in my favorite series of all time. 💕💕💕

Kat_Reads I'm on the third book in this series! 7y
B.Reader @Kat_Reads ohhh, please keep me up to date on your progress! I have read and listened to the entire series no less than 14 times and love hearing from others who have read it!! 7y
