Elizabeth Peters strikes again! As does a MURDERER
This time Amelia and Emerson are back on England's soil, a rare occurrence for readers for this series. It's interesting to see how the couple gets along in London society, when we're so used to seeing them sweat in the Egyptian desert instead.
While reading The Deeds of the Disturber, I was indeed all caught up in the mystery. The ending completely fascinates me. I didn't quite see it coming -- who would!?
As this book clearly illustrates, Elizabeth Peters has to be a follow Sherlock Holmes fan. So many little "clues" she left for the reader, even down to Emerson's deduction skills, and including the daring name of one Mrs. Watson. Some of the little clues like this made me laugh.
I do so enjoy these books, and I heartily recommend them as adult fiction. Some mature (but sweet) content is included.

Peters shines, as usual
When the mysterious death of a watchman in the British Museum is sensationalized by stories of a dire curse, the full force of Amelia Peabody's investigative abilities is brought to the fore. Hampered though she is by the necessity of caring not only for her own son, the ever-precocious Ramses, but also by the addition of her brother's young children, Amelia nevertheless wastes no time in launching her own investigation, and is soon drawn deep into London's Arab underworld, grappling with kidnappers, Egyptian priests, mysterious women and even her own husband! Peters handles her change in setting with admirable aplomb, creating a cast of intriguing new characters as well as reviving several favorites from stories past. The character of little Ramses is especially developed in this novel, and the conflict set up between he and his cousins makes for a convincing and compelling subplot to the principal mystery. Most enjoyable!
