She travels to Egypt to see the pyramids, meets an archeologist, fights with and then falls in love with him. The twenty novels span the years from 1884 to 1923, and usually take place in Egypt, though some are set in England, as well at the Sudan and Palestine. Peabody and Emerson eventually have a son, Walter, who goes by the nickname Ramses.

Every year there seems to be a murder or two, along with some interesting archeology.
