Amelia Peabody is a Victorian English spinster who sets out to see the world after her father’s death. She stops in Egypt, where she discovers a passion for archeology and solving mysteries. This cozy mystery is filled with quirky characters and many facts on ancient Egypt and the early days of scientific archeology. The writer held a Ph.D. in Egyptology, and also raises issues such as who owns history, Western involvement in the Middle East, and expectations for women, which we discuss. Required text: Crocodile on the Sandbank, Elizabeth Peters, ISBN 978-0-446-57321-4.
