Summary: One of my most favorite Elizabeth Peter's books.
Comment: Being somewhat disappointed with "The Mummy Case," I wasn't too sure as to what to expect from "Lion in the Valley." I was not to be disappinted again! This book has everything that makes the "Amelia Peabody" stories so enjoyable to read: mystery, suspense, adventure AND the Master Criminal, who has won my heart (if not Amelia's) in this book. Emerson and Ramses weren't too bad either!
Rating: 5
Summary: Action from Page One
Comment: Lion in the Valley ranks, in my mind, as one of the best in the early Amelia Peabody Emerson novels. In this one, Amelia and Emerson finally get the chance to dig at the Black Pyramid in Dahshoor -- and you know how Amelia loves those pyramids. This book brings backs the great characters of old and adds some very interesting new characters. "Nemo" was an especially interesting character (at least until we find out about his situation) and Ramses is as precocious a troublemaker as ever. This books ratchets up the tension between the Peabody Emerson and the Master Criminal, or M.C. for the sake of Emerson's bruised ego. These stories are written with fun and excitement in mind, and if you can accept the tongue-in-cheek nature of the plots, then you'll able to sit back and enjoy a rollicking ride.
Rating: 5
Summary: More excavation & investigation with the Emerson-Peabodys
Comment: Welcome (or welcome back) to the wonderful world of crime and archaeology that abounds in this series. In The Lion In The Valley, we meet up with Amelia Peabody and her husband, Radcliffe Emerson as they set out once again for a dig in Egypt. Their son Ramses, a "catastrophically precocious" 8 year old with an eerie aptitude for languages both ancient and modern, accompanies them for only the 2nd time and promptly gets himself kidnapped. He is rescued almost immediately, but that isn't the end of their misfortune. Mishaps continue to plague their dig, and the hand of the Master Criminal once more appears to be present.
If you haven't read any of this series yet and you don't want to start all the way at the beginning, this is a good place to start. There's enough coverage of the past stories so you won't get lost without being repetitive for those who have read the 3 previous books. A great story with wonderful characters, I highly recommend it.
