I truly love the Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters. It combines my love for mysteries with my love for and knowledge of the ancient near east. Though it is set in Egypt, which was the least of my own studies, it nonetheless never fails to please, and Peters is very good about fitting her…

Dorothy Sayers’s Lord Peter mysteries are among my favorite mystery books, so I was happy to find this collection of videos. I have to confess that I really didn’t like Ian Carmichael as Lord Peter Wimsey, but Edward Petheridge is much more convincing in the part. Harriet Walter is a convincing Harriet Vane. The story…
