Elizabeth Peters was my companion of choice in 2005-2006 for airplane trips. If you want to read a lot of brain candy while pretending you're doing something literary, read the Amelia Peabody mysteries in the order in which Peters wrote them. Peters develops a lot as a writer over the course of writing these novels, and it's fascinating to watch her gain mastery over the craft. The first books can be grim reading at points, but the later novels are much smoother reads. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/128435?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
