About this listen

 After an adventurous season spent excavating at Dahshoor, and narrowly averting the clutches of the Master Criminal, Victorian Egyptologist Amelia Peabody Emerson and her spouse prepare for a quiet summer in England. The social and domestic routine, though interrupted by the precocious escapades of their only child, Ramses, hardly seems much of a challenge for the indomitable Emersons.

But, rest assured, dear reader...domesticity does not prevail. When a night watchman mysteriously dies in front of the mummy Lady Henutmehit in the Egyptian room of the British Museum, Amelia is on the scene with her trusty parasol, ready to do battle with the malignant mummy.

Despite the appearance of an ancient sem priest and cryptic notes in hieroglyphics, Amelia surmises that a less-ancient villain is at work, a villain with evil plans for select members of the British archeological community, including her beloved Emerson. Is the villain plotting Emerson's demise, or something even more sinister?

This story is set in London- a little different from the usual Egyptian setting. Ramses has cousins to cope with, and there’s strange goings on at the museum. Very entertaining.

Hilarious as always

Thoroughly enjoyed this whodunnit which is set in London. Peabody, Emerson and their son Ramsays are as entertaining as ever. Great narrator who does all the different accents expertly and comically.

Another cracking Amelia Peabody yarn
