Synopsis

“Between Amelia Peabody and Indiana Jones, it’s Amelia—in wit and daring—by a landslide.”
—New York Times Book ReviewIntrepid archaeologist and superior sleuth Amelia Peabody returns in A River in the Sky. In this breathtaking new adventure, New York Times bestselling Grand Master Elizabeth Peters transports the indomitable Amelia and her family, the Emersons, from their usual milieu, early twentieth-century Egypt, to an exciting—and dangerous—new locale: Palestine! A tale full of atmosphere, intrigue, and thrills, A River in the Sky is further proof that “Peters has few rivals” (Houston Chronicle).

Goodreads review by Joanna on December 21, 2010

As much as I love the Amelia Peabody mysteries, A River in the Sky is a tepid and lackluster addition to the series.

I really love the Amelia Peabody series, and this book was satisfying in that it's always nice to read Amelia's "voice."
