A River in the Sky by Elizabeth Peters

5.0

I won this book through GoodReads First Reads and absolutely loved it! I read the first Amelia Peabody mystery ([b:Crocodile on the Sandbank|188230|Crocodile on the Sandbank (Amelia Peabody, #1)|Elizabeth Peters|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172544229s/188230.jpg|2570338]) to familiarize myself with the characters before reading this. Peters' characters are so wonderful! Regardless of the setting be it Egypt, or in this case Jerusalem, the story comes alive with the pluckiness of Amelia and the irascibility of Emerson. This book is funny, suspenseful, and thoroughly entertaining. I plan to read all of the Amelia Peabody mysteries now--I'm hooked!
