A review by novelesque_life
Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters
2.0
2 STARS
Amelia Peabody is a feminist in the Victorian era, and finds herself with an inheritance and time on her hands. First stop is Egypt where she turns the Archeology world upside down and stops to solve a mystery or two.
I heard this one on audio and quite liked the way the narrator read the novel - ie her accent and tone. It was the plot that I found a bit lacking. I think if I had read this novel versus listening to it I would not have finished it. The story was a little to la di da to the point I was easily distracted and lost parts of the plot. I think I am done with Amelia Peabody and maybe with Elizabeth Peters. I would certainly give her another chance if someone I trusted insisted I read a particular title.
