"This is the first Peters I'd read, and it hooked me very early on. Her books turn out to be like satisfying, multicourse meals. They have complex plots and subplots. The historical detail is fantastic. The characters are generally not stereotypes or even archetypes. My only quibble is that Fatima, the Egyptian housekeeper, has almost no role to play except to be worried, exclaim a lot, and push food on people. She's a fairly boring stereotype of a woman, and Peters has disappointed me in that she hasn't developed her character beyond such a simple formula. But it's a relatively minor quibble, especially for this genre."
"I've read this entire series, along with all the books she wrote as Barbara Michaels, and have loved them all. The early books are of their time (the 70s) and the plots are all pretty similar, but it's been great to watch the family develop and grow in "real time" over decades. I look forward to an annual visit to the Valley of the Kings."
