Bibliography
Fiction written as Elizabeth Peters
Amelia Peabody
Main article: Amelia Peabody series

As of 2010, this series contains 19 books; the most recent, A River in the Sky, was published in April 2010. The heroine is an Egyptologist and is married, with one child of her body, Ramses, and two others of her heart: Nefret Forth (3 years older than Ramses) and, later, Sennia (ca. 25 years younger). The stories all relate to the "Golden Age" of Egyptology and nearly all are set in Egypt, the excavations providing the backdrop for the mystery/adventure plots.

The timeline begins in the 1880s with Amelia's decision to see the world as an unexpectedly-wealthy, feminist spinster, and ends with the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in late 1922. (Peters has said that additional books in the series will "fill in the blanks" in the chronology—e.g., River is set in 1910.)

Vicky Bliss
Main article: The Vicky Bliss Mysteries

The Vicky Bliss novels follow the adventures of an American professor of art history who keeps getting involved in international crime and a love interest, a charming art thief known as Sir John Smythe. Another Peters novel, The Camelot Caper (1969), while not technically a Vicky Bliss story, features Smythe. The novels can be enjoyed in any order, but the stories are highly sequential in nature and are probably better appreciated if read in order of publication.

    Borrower of the Night (1973)
    Street of the Five Moons (1978)
    Silhouette in Scarlet (1983)
    Trojan Gold (1987)
    Night Train to Memphis (1994)
    The Laughter of Dead Kings (2008)

This series and the Amelia Peabody series are slightly related: a fictional tomb discovered by Amelia Peabody and her husband plays an important role in Night Train to Memphis, and in The Laughter of Dead Kings it is revealed that John Smythe is related to the Emersons.
Jacqueline Kirby

Jacqueline Kirby is a librarian with a very large purse and a knack for solving mysteries.

Jacqueline makes her first appearance as an unwilling detective in The Seventh Sinner. Though it was intended as a stand-alone novel, her maturity, quirkiness, and pursuit of romantic relationships made the character stand out, and generated a popular following. The character blossomed with Murders of Richard III and Die For Love, the latter of which featured her wearing increasingly outrageous costumes, and launching on a career as a romance novelist. Jacqueline continued her new career in Naked Once More, writing a sequel to a "famous" prehistoric romance novel.

    The Seventh Sinner (1972)
    Murders of Richard III (1974)
    Die for Love (1984)
    Naked Once More (1989)
