The Serpent on the Crown Reviews
"[A]nother winner that you can't put down and yet don't want to see end,...the author's droll sense of humor and picture of a leisurely and less complicated age add to the appeal." - Publishers Weekly
"In-jokes for "Informed Readers" aside, this isn't Peters's best work, but is certainly a required purchase for any public library." - Library Journal
"Peabody's Victorian rhetoric can go over the top, but her likable family's fans will find much to enjoy in an adventure less convoluted than usual." - Kirkus Reviews
"Peters lays out her scenes of romantic derring-do with such a lavish hand that it seems a bit nerdy to draw attention to the deeper pleasure of the rich scholarship involved in these archaeological mysteries." - The New York Times
