Produktinformationen zu „The Deeds of the Disturber / The Amelia Peabody Murder Mysteries (ePub)“
An Egyptologist investigates a death at the British Museum in a "charming" Victorian mystery by the New York Times-bestselling author of The Painted Queen (The Denver Post).
Back in London after an archaeological dig, adventurous sleuth Amelia Peabody-"rather like Indiana Jones, Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple all rolled into one"-discovers that a night watchman at the museum has perished in the shadow of a mummy case (The Washington Post Book World).
There are murmurings about an ancient curse, but a skeptical Amelia is determined to find an all-too-human killer. Soon, she's balancing family demands, including the troubles of her precocious son, Ramses (aka Walter), with not just one unsolved crime, but two . . .
From a recipient of multiple honors including the Mystery Writers of America's Grand Master Award, this murder mystery set in Victorian-era England is a witty, rollicking, and "deeply satisfying" romp (Entertainment Weekly) in a "jewel of a series" (The New York Times Book Review).
