Seeing a Large Cat (Amelia Peabody Mystery Series) - Historical Fiction Novel for Adults | Perfect for Book Clubs & Mystery Lovers

These books are fun to read. I love the books in the Amelia Peabody series - not just for the mystery at the heart of each book but for the characters she writes so well. I enjoy this lively family she has described throughout the series and look forward to see how each of them ages and matures, or doesn't. I also enjoy being immersed in the politics and difficulties of late 19th/early 20th century Egyptology; reading the day to day descriptions of the commitment and intensity and sheer backbreaking work on a dig; the humor and passion of the family who made it their lifes' work to find and responsibly document the tombs of the ancient egyptians and through those discoveries get a glimpse into the life and times of the pharoahs. All of this while facing untold dangers and solving a murder or two. When the series ended I missed the family, but then I remembered as with all books, one can simply turn back to page 1 and begin again.
