MoMo’s Book Diary recommends this as a page turning 4 star read.

The author had me hooked. The characters and setting was just perfect. I could feel the atmosphere of Kentucky in the way the author describes each scene.

The plot had me turning page after page. It is the first Kim Vogel Sawyer I have read and I will be picking up another one.

It is not my normal type of novel but it was a very nice, needed, change of pace.

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this historical romance.

As a lover of all things history (especially to do with historical crime), I really enjoyed this book. Bess was a likeable (for all her faults) character and the Thief-taker General makes a good villain. The only small drawback would be the slang - I enjoyed it and it gave Bess that little bit more voice, but it could also get in the way at times as I had to flip to the back to find the translations.

All in all, I loved this book and will probably reread it in the not so distant future.

David McK (3684 KP) rated The Deeds of the Disturber (Amelia Peabody, #5) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

The fifth <i>Amelia Peabody</i> novel which, in a change of setting, actually takes place in and around London rather than Egypt (even though it still deals with Egyptology).

There's also a 2001 film called 'The Mummy Returns': having now read this, I can see more than a few parallels between that movie and this! British museum? Check. Historical(ish) setting? Check. Husband and wife team? Check. Precocious son? Check. Attempted Egyptian ritual/curse? Check (yet again).

OK, so the novel doesn't have the undead wandering around, nor a hot-air balloon, but still enough ...
