Next Wednesday evening, August 28 come to the library to discuss Elizabeth Peters' Crocodile on the Sandbank from 7-8pm!

The first book in the 20+ book series - great for fans of Agatha Christie!

A Victorian-era thriller featuring Egyptologist Amelia Peabody, a self-proclaimed spinster and heiress who's unrattled by anyone–including mummies. The unshakeable Amelia Peabody embarks on an Egyptian adventure armed with self-confidence, a journal to record her thoughts, and, of course–a sturdy umbrella. On her way to Cairo, Amelia rescues young Evelyn Barton-Forbes, who has been abandoned by her scoundrel lover. Together the two women sail up the Nile to an archeological site run by a pair of handsome brothers. Strange visitations, suspicious accidents, and a botched kidnapping convince Amelia that there is a plot afoot to harm Evelyn. Now Amelia finds herself up against an unknown enemy–and perilous forces that threaten to make her first Egyptian trip also her last...

Copies of the book are available to borrow at the library as well as ebook and audiobook versions on Libby.
