Cc Aug 06.Qxp “where a good crime C r i m e can be had by all” c h r o n i c l e Issue #247 august 2006 AUTHOR OF THE MONTH CWA DAGGER AWARDS ELIZABETH PETERS DUNCAN LAWRIE DAGGER (formerly the Gold Dagger) Two new titles from one of my favourite authors: Tomb of the Golden Bird 354pp Hb 49.95 The chase is on – and Amelia Peabody and family are in the thick of it. It is 1922. Convinced that the tomb of the little-known pharaoh Tutankhamon lies somewhere in the Valley of the Kings, Emerson has tried to persuade his rivals Lord Carnavon and Howard Carter to hand over their digging rights in the valley to him, but to no avail. Emerson is disappointed, but back in Luxor, an incident at the Emerson-Peabody clan’s hotel provides a distraction. Emerson and Ramses are lured into a trap by a group of villains demanding an answer to Raven Black by Ann Cleeves (Tp 32.95) the mysterious question, ‘Where is he?’. Their DUNCAN LAWRIE curiosity piqued, the duo determine to uncover who INTERNATIONAL DAGGER ‘he’ is and why ‘he’ should be so important. Is Emerson’s charming half-brother behind these odd events? Or is Seth himself in danger, privy to a secret that certain governments do not want exposed? One thing is for sure, Emerson, Amelia and their dauntless family are in for another round of danger and excitement. The 18th in the series. Peters lays out her scenes of romantic derring-do with such a lavish hand that it seems a bit nerdy to draw attention to the deeper pleasure of the rich scholarship involved in these archaeological mysteries. “ - The New York Times Book Review The Serpent on the Crown 288pp Pb 21.95 The Three Evangelists ” by Fred Vargas (Tp 32.95) A unique treasure obtained by unscrupulous means, the small gold statuette of an unidentified Egyptian IAN FLEMING STEEL DAGGER king is a priceless relic from a bygone era. But more than history surrounds the remarkable artefact, for it is said that early death will come to anyone who possesses it. Enjoying a world finally at peace, the Emersons have returned to the Valley of the Kings in 1922. With the lengthy ban on their archaeological activities lifted, Amelia Peabody and her family look forward to delving once more into the age-old mysteries buried in Egypt’s ever-shifting sands. But a widow’s strange story – and even stranger request – is about to plunge them into a storm of secrets, treachery, superstition… and murder. The 17th in the series.

The flowers are smallish, only a couple of inches in diameter, but they are exquisite--shell pink shading to darker in the center. That’s why I love gardening. One might say, if one were pompous (which I am sometimes inclined to be) that it is a metaphor for life: you win some, you lose some, and a good deal of the time you have no idea why.

Photo by Victoria Albaugh, Everyone knows librarians help students find books and other research materials used to write papers, but sometimes they decide to go above and beyond to help those who pass through their library. Joseph Armstrong, a senior in the middle of finals season, needed help to finish his web page design project. He thought he would have to hire an expensive tutor. But Clayton, a children’s librarian at the Eaton Branch who just graduated with a business degree that included a focus on web page design, volunteered his time to help Joseph. They sat down together for a while in the library, and now Joseph is one step closer to completing his project. It’s always wonderful to see our library team going out of their way to help their community. ~Rachel Duncan, Library Assistant, Eaton Branch~ Library Admin. Office 450 S.

  • Women Sleuths 20
    Women Sleuths Bibliography Edition 20 January 2020 Brown Deer Public Library 5600 W. Bradley Road Brown Deer, WI 53223 1 MMMysteryMystery Murder Investigation Detective Evidence ClueClue…… She may be a police officer, a private detective, an office worker, a professor, an attorney, a nun, or even a librarian, but the woman sleuth is always tenacious and self-reliant. She may occasionally use her physical strength or a weapon in the course of her crime solving; more often, though, she uses her intelligence, her expertise in a specific area, and her understanding of human nature to reach a solution. The Women Sleuths Bibliography was first compiled by Linda Paulaskas, former South Milwaukee Library Director, and Cathy Morris-Nelson, former Brown Deer Library Director. Kelley Hinton, Reference Librarian at the Brown Deer Library, continued to revise and update the bibliography through the 13th Edition. Since then, updates have been made by Brown Deer Library volunteer and mystery enthusiast Paula Reiter. This is not a comprehensive bibliography, but rather a compilation of current series, which feature a woman sleuth. Most of the titles in this bibliography can be found arranged alphabetically by author at the Brown Deer Public Library. ___ We have added lines in front of each title, so you might keep track of the books and authors you read. We have also included author website addresses and unique features found on the sites. This symbol indicates a series new to the twentieth edition. The cover photo was found on the Paumelia Flickr Creative Commons photostream. Thank you for sharing your photo! Kimura, Yumi.

  • Item More Personal, More Unique, And, Therefore More Representative of the Experience of the Book Itself
    Q&B Quill & Brush (301) 874-3200 Fax: (301)874-0824 E-mail: [email protected] Home Page: http://www.qbbooks.com A dear friend of ours, who is herself an author, once asked, “But why do these people want me to sign their books?” I didn’t have a ready answer, but have reflected on the question ever since. Why Signed Books? Reading is pure pleasure, and we tend to develop affection for the people who bring us such pleasure. Even when we discuss books for a living, or in a book club, or with our spouses or co- workers, reading is still a very personal, solo pursuit. For most collectors, a signature in a book is one way to make a mass-produced item more personal, more unique, and, therefore more representative of the experience of the book itself. Few of us have the opportunity to meet the authors we love face-to-face, but a book signed by an author is often the next best thing—it brings us that much closer to the author, proof positive that they have held it in their own hands. Of course, for others, there is a cost analysis, a running thought-process that goes something like this: “If I’m going to invest in a book, I might as well buy a first edition, and if I’m going to invest in a first edition, I might as well buy a signed copy.” In other words we want the best possible copy—if nothing else, it is at least one way to hedge the bet that the book will go up in value, or, nowadays, retain its value.

    nil.com rle www.voilesurlenil.com su e il o [email protected] v . w Amelia Peabody... une héroïne de roman w w Elizabeth Petters Tous ceux qui se sont perdus dans l'un des livres de la série policière d'Elizabeth Peters seront intéressés de savoir que l'un des personnages principaux de ces romans, Amelia Peabody, a été fortement inspiré par Amelia Ann Blanford Edwards elle-même … Elizabeth Peters, de son vrai nom Barbara Mertz, est née le 29 septembre 1927 dans une petite ville de l'Illinois (États-Unis). Titulaire d'un doctorat en Égyptologie de l'Université de Chicago (1952), elle écrit des romans policiers sous le pseudo de Peters, des thrillers quand elle s'appelle Barbara Michaels, et des livres d'égyptologie sous son vrai nom, Barbara Mertz. Les anglophones l'appellent MPM : Mertz - Peters - Michaels. Elle créa le pseudonyme d'Elizabeth Peters en accolant les prénoms de ses deux enfants. Egyptologue reconnue, elle entreprit de faire revivre les « grandes heures » de l'égyptologie au tournant du XXe siècle, lorsque l'Angleterre victorienne s'enthousiasmait pour les découvertes de Petrie ou de Maspero en recourant au mode d'expression le plus populaire, le roman policier. C'est ainsi que devait naître, aux États-Unis, un inoubliable trio romanesque qui allait conquérir des millions de lecteurs dans plus de douze langues : l'indomptable Amelia Peabody, son mari le savant et coléreux Emerson (Radclie), et leur imprévisible rejeton, Ramses. Pleine d'humour, elle s'est mise elle-même en scène dans "L'énigme de la vallée des rois", à la recherche des archives perdues de la famille Emerson.
