1.1 Non-fiction

Amelia Peabody's Egypt ( 2003) is a companion to the series.

2 Vicky Bliss

The Vicky Bliss novels follow the adventures of an American professor of art history who keeps getting involved in international crime. Another Peters novel, The Camelot Caper ( 1969), while not technically a Vicky Bliss story, features another important character in the series. 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.
