5.0 out of 5 stars Amelia Peabody and family tear through Victorian London, 26 Jul 2001
By A Customer
Another great book in the Amelia Peabody series. Its all set in London so makes a refreshing change from the other books, which are set in Egypt. Its all gas lit streets and fog. Very Sherlock Holmes. Rameses is growing to a frighteningly precocious child who is not afraid to enlist the help of the butler and the rest of the staff, much to the chargin of his mother, in his effort to save his parents from one scrape after another. This book has some parts that made me laugh out loud on the train, always embarrassing, and others that are really gripping. Unexpected twists and intrigues all the way along. Fantastic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Parasols at the ready, 26 Jun 2007
Amelia Peabody has returned to London for the winter, only to be caught up in a sensational murder case reported by the victorian equivalent of tabloid journalists. Along the way, she is lumbered with her estranged brother's foul children, so there is a sub plot involving Ramses as well as the usual mad priest, mysterious death threats, evil criminals etc etc. London's seemier side provides a spooky background, but for me it doesn't quite hit the heights of the egyptian stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5th of the amelia peabody series..., 7 Jan 2007
By Roman Clodia (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
... this is the one where they stay in London rather than go to Egypt, and investigate nefarious happenings in the British Museum and in deserted old mansions. Ramses first shows off his less-than-polished skills at disguise, and Amelia almost succumbs to the villain! Brilliant escapist read.
