Title: Masterpiece
Product review: Elizabeth Peters' series of the Peabody/Emerson archaeology/crime fighting family is well written and excellent in its historical detail. Her talents at writing are exquisite in her portrayal of characters, especially the English and Egyptians as portrayed in this book suffering the stress of World War I Cairo. An added pleasure of reading this book is that many of the questions raised in the previous books of the same series are finally answered. Peters' unique husband and wife team are immortal and unique literary characters, whose stories I always find difficult to put aside even when I have other tasks to undertake. I recommend reading this book and listening to the audio version as well, as narrated by Barbara Rosenblatt. I found using both the visual and literary versions of the novel enhanced my appreciation of the author's choices of vocabulary and her depiction of the vivid settings of WW1 Egypt.
