Book Review: Elizabeth Peters’ The Hippopotamus Pool
The promise of an undisturbed royal tomb vies with evils that include the Hippopotamus Man — and an irresistible temptation for art thieves, jealous colleagues, looters, the press, and countless other evil-doers. As Ramses and Nefret rub elbows with thieves and thugs, Peabody finds herself faced with a surprising new villain who is every bit as clever and resourceful as the intrepid Amelia herself.
