Publisher's Summary:
When a sinister Egyptian spotted at the crime scene turns up in Mazghunah, Amelia can't resist following his trail. There's a mysterious scrap of papyrus and a missing mummy case to investigate, while she keeps at least one eye on their precocious son Ramses and his Egyptian cat. But the digging turns truly dangerous when Amelia and Emerson look for answers in an ancient tomb - one that could become their grave.

Critic Reviews:
"Between Amelia Peabody and Indiana Jones, it's Amelia - in wit and daring - a landslide." (
New York Times Book Review)"[Elizabeth Peters] scores again with a riotously witty, tense, and cunningly constructed tale." (
Publishers Weekly)"Amelia Peabody Emerson, archaeologist extraodinaire, and arguably the most potent female force to hit Egypt since Cleopatra, is digging again!" (
Philadelphia Inquirer)

Members Reviews:
Okay so the accent is missing....
Why Susan O'Malley chose to not do an English accent I don't know, but she captures the personality of Amelia, Emerson and Ramses perfectly. It's that practicality to the extreme of Amelia's that makes the stories entertaining and very funny. I may be the exception in preferring O'Malley's reading but I think she does a much better job of capturing the essence of the characters. As for the story itself, not my favorite, but nevertheless very enjoyable.

Better versions
This is a really fun series and I was so excited to see that Audible was beginning to carry it. However, this version has a vastly inferior narrator that will detract from the pleasure of the book for anyone who has already listened to the best. The author must have sold the rights to Blackstone early in her career before she could afford to be choosy about who would narrate. It will be worth your while to seek out this other narrator.

wonderful time
Great reader, great book. Barbara Rosenblat makes it come alive with her different voices.

Need that same narrator
I've listened to Book 1 and 2 of the Amelia Peabody series with Susan O'Malley narrating. I have also sampled the narration of Barbara Rosenblat. Rosenblat's cadence turns Amelia into a cold, unsensuous old maid. Her narration lacks the passion of Susan O'Malley's fetching and lively "conversation."

Dated and with odd narration gaps
I find the authors POV to be rather dated and narrow minded. Also, there are very odd gaps in the narration where another womans voice pops up mid sentence. Its jarring to listen to.
