A review by raptorimperator
A River in the Sky by Elizabeth Peters

3.0

It was fine, entertaining enough. You get a glimpse at some of the tensions that eventually will lead to WWI, with hints of German and English spies, a plot against the Ottoman Empire, and a lot of Ramses on his own adventure (aka Manuscript H), but not really as much of Peabody and Emerson doing what they do best. They don't do much excavating in this novel, spending most of the time chasing after or in search of their wayward son. Frankly, Amelia seemed more like a side character in her own story. Still an interesting read, just not as enthralling as some of the other books, in my opinion.
