Unfortunately, Elizabeth Peters (real name: Barbara Mertz) died 6 months ago, but left a wealth of enjoyable reading material to her fans. I hope to read all 19 of the Amelia Peabody novels eventually.

Glad to hear that. I've got the second one queued up to read, just trying to decide if I'll listen to it, or read it on my Paperwhite. Probably listen, since I have several other ebooks lined up on the PW, and nothing more interesting to want to listen to. Unfortunately, this isn't a book that supports WhisperSync for Voice, since I have an omnibus edition of the first four Amelia Peabody books, not individual ones. Well, and I bought it from Kobo with a 50% off coupon. Gee, wonder why Amazon's Whispersync isn't working.

Enjoyed The Martian a lot, it really should be adapted for a movie. Now next, in response to all the folks who've been highly favorably commenting on to Crocodile on the Sandbank (Amelia Peabody #1) by Elizabeth Peters, I'll give it a look-see.
