#lion in the valley

[riley1cannon]

“No wonder the cat Bastet refused the meat Ramses brought from Mena House. She had been stuffed with chicken. Emerson, that villain—that remarkable, clever wretch—has seduced our cat!”

Lion in the Valley, Elizabeth Peters

Little gems this are one of the many reasons the Amelia Peabody mysteries are such a treat. The archfiend in question is, of course, the Master Criminal--aka Sethos, aka...well, that would be spoiler territory for anyone who has yet to make themselves familiar with the books.

I tore through the whole series a couple of years ago, and have been meaning to work through them again at a more leisurely pace. Here, at the end of the year, seemed like the best time to get started, and it has been no hardship. This is the fourth adventure, the first where Sethos makes his official debut. He was in The Mummy Case, the preceding case, but I got the feeing the author hadn’t quite worked out all the details.

I had also forgotten that Sherlock Holmes appears in this one! 

Well, a private detective calling himself Tobias Gregson, anyway, with a keen resemblance to the Baker Street sleuth. My memory draws a blank just at the moment on what role he actually plays, but it was fun to see him turn up as there have been a few Sherlockian quotes already. (Book two, Curse of the Pharoahs, had another call out with characters named Baskerville running around--not the Devonshire branch of the family, as Amelia points out.)

Maybe I will even feel the itch to try my hand at another Peabody fic one of these days. The first one I did, Eternities Still Unsaid, is a favorite of mine.

Anyway, there are surely worse ways to spend the holidays with the Peabody Emerson clan. Given the deep freeze in these parts, it’s especially pleasant to dream of a warmer clime like Egypt.
