Seeing a Large Cat marks a change in the narrative style of the Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters. Starting with this volume the mysteries balloon from two hundred fifty pages to almost five hundred pages. The main source of these extra pages is the "manuscript H" which is apparently written by Walter "Ramses" Emerson.

Started to read this during my NY visit. I started it after visiting the Met.

Ok, Miss Bellingham needed to go away as soon as she arrived on the scene. By Gad she made me want to strangle her! Oh and her dad---crazy guy. Stay far away from him. Those crazy Americans!

I love this Amelia Peabody mystery! A mysterious, modern mummy, Amelia at her best and the "children" helping with the investigation! And I love the character of Katherine.

#9 for Amelia, et al. The first book with the added "Manuscript H" papers. Ramses is really growing up...

Seeing the Emersons's world through the eyes of the kids definitely helps to freshen things up.
