Cozy mystery

Crocodile on the Sandbank

by Elizabeth Peters “Sitting in traffic always turns me into a big ole’ grouch,” laughs Carey Ostergard, FIRST executive editor. “So when I get home, I like to decompress with a witty whodunit.” On a trip to Egypt, Victorianera heiress Amelia Peabody and her friend Evelyn team up with the dashing Emerson brothers to solve the mystery of a re-animated mummy. Raves Carey, “Amelia’s hilarious antics turned my mood from sour to super!” (William Morrow, 2013; Paperback $12, Kindle $10, Nook $10)
