Fascinating. Wasn’t Barbara Mertz, who wrote novels about Egypt as “Elizabeth Peters,” a graduate of the University of Chicago in Egyptology? I have her last novel, which was completed by Joan Hess, past-due at the library!

Yes. She was affiliated with the Oriental Institute, where I docented while taking classes. One of the perks of docenting was I got to buy a reproduction in pure gold.



I have all the Mertz books except the last, in book and in audio. How did Hess do?
