Seeing a Large Cat by Elizabeth Peters

 This was a fun one! And I actually followed the plot and the characters without any trouble. Maybe I'm getting used to Peters' style or maybe I was just more alert. Whatever the case, this plot was less complex than others, there were fewer surprises, and I could track all of the interesting characters. There was less about Egyptian history and tombs, and more about Ramses, Nefret, and David. They are older teenagers now, and are learning about life, love, and maturing. An interesting device introduced in this book is some departures (italicized) written from Ramses' point of view. Peters is setting the stage for romance, and it will be fascinating to see where it goes from here! There is also a seance in this book, and the players and the scene is pretty dramatic. There isn't a whole lot of violence, either, which I appreciated. Just intrigue and Amelia Peabody's usual great "unintentional" humor!
