A review by tmdavis
The Snake, the Crocodile and the Dog by Barbara Mertz, Elizabeth Peters
4.0
Amelia and Emerson return to Egypt without their son Ramses (Amelia hoping to rejuvenate her thirteen year marriage). However, an old enemy is determined to learn the Emersons' most closely guarded secret: the location of a legendary long lost oasis and a race of people bedecked in gold. In the course of trying to learn their secret, Emerson is kidnapped, rescued, and loses his memory. In fact, he has no recollection of the past 13 years and in particular his relationship with his wife.
It has been a long time since I read an Amelia Peabody book and while these books are very wordy they are very humorous, especially Ramses. I hated that he didn't go to Egypt this time and was removed from the central plot of the story. However, he was present in the letters he wrote throughout the novel.
