Praise for the AMELIA PEABODY novels by
New York Times bestselling author
ELIZABETH PETERS
“Amelia has really pitched a tent in our
hearts.”
Philadelphia Enquirer
“Deeply satisfying…. Peters manages to
satirize romantic thrillers while producing
some of the finest in the genre.”
Entertainment Weekly
“Picking up the latest Elizabeth Peters
mystery … is like hearing from old friends
and learning of their latest adventures.”
Chicago Tribune
“[Peters] kicks up a desert storm.”
People
“Amelia is one of the most interesting and
delightful characters in the mystery genre.”
St. Paul Pioneer Press
“Peters has created a marvelously complex
world of characters the reader comes to care
about quite a bit.”
Topeka Capital-Journal
“Using witty dialogue and deft plot devices,
Peters instills her protagonists with strength,
high moral character, and a deep sense of
family…. That adds to the charm that has
made this series so much fun.”
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“Amelia is still a joy.”
New York Times Book Review
