My husband has walked in on me listening to the series so much over the years that he imitates Emerson with a “Good Gad, Peabody,” every now and then. So I slowly added the entire Amelia Peabody series up to the most recent book, and then added them as they were published. And with that Kindle I got a few free audiobooks. It was what we now call a Paperwhite-read or listen only. Then, in 2011, through a consumer product testing company, I got my first Kindle. For years I would borrow the library audiobook and make a copy for my own personal use. The series is like Nancy Drew all grown up and thrown back in time. It combined many of the things that interested me: Victorian era, Egyptology, a feminist a bit ahead of her time, and a little bit of romance (very little). Years ago, when I first started checking out library audiobooks, I stumbled upon the Amelia Peabody mystery series and my life was changed forever.
