Reviews
I can't wait for the next Peabody story... I really do think [Elizabeth Peters'] books are great entertainment. -- Angela Ripon
A writer so popular that the public library has to keep her books under lock and key. * Washington Post Book World *
Think Miss Marple with early feminist gloss crossed with Indiana Jones... accomplished entertainment. * Guardian *
