Seeing a Large Cat | Elizabeth Peters

What a pleasure it is, to settle in with familiar characters. I still love Amelia and Emerson, even if I find Ramses and Nefret a little frustrating at times. I'm glad the library copy arrived in time for #cloakanddaggerchristmas and does, in fact, have foil on the cover. (Although, in honesty, I also checked out the ebook and will likely read more of it that way.)

Ruthiella I also find Nefret and Ramses frustrating. One thing I loved about Amelia and Emerson‘s relationship was the absence of all that romance novel will they/won‘t they… 1y
quietjenn @Ruthiella yes! I like my crime-solving couples together by the end of the first book. 1y
rwmg Most definitely. The early Falco stories used to drive me mad in that regard but in those days historical detective fiction was much less common, so I gritted my teeth, which is just as well because otherwise I would have missed out on lots of good things. But these days I suspect I might have just given up and read something else. (edited) 1y

CarolynM I‘m currently “rereading” The Ape Who Guards the Balance on audio. I always find Ramses‘s tortured yearning for Nefret kind of amusing, especially as he doesn‘t seem to mind sharing his favours with other ladies while he pines away😆 @Ruthiella (edited) 1y
Ruthiella That‘s a good way to look at it! @CarolynM 😆 These books are awesome on audio I think. I prefer Barbara Rosenblatt‘s narration, but Susan O‘Malley does a good job too. (edited) 1y
quietjenn @Ruthiella @CarolynM indeed! I am finding them ok in this one, so hopefully that continues. I'll have to try the series on audio. 1y

The Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters is about as close to romance as I can get. 😂 I‘m using this title for the “Hearts and Flowers” prompts for the February #RoaringWolf Reading Challenge, since it did contain a sweet romance amid the murder, adventure and comedy. The Emersons are back in Luxor and the specter of The Master Criminal (not so dead after all maybe?) arises to haunt the family and their archeological adventures.

CarolynM *There is no mention of this visit in Manuscript H. The editor spent many hours searching for it in vain. 🤣🤣🤣 2y
Ruthiella @CarolynM 🤣🤣🤣 2y
Roary47 Oh my goodness! What a fun title. 🤣 2y
Ruthiella @Roary47 This whole series is a lot of fun! 😃 2y
