About this title: Archaeologists Amelia Peabody and Radcliffe Emerson, their son Ramses, and ward Nefret are preparing to excavate a possible tombsite along the river Nile. The undertaking was prefaced by a strange encounter with a mysterious stranger who died of poisoning before their meeting was over. The Emersons attribute all of this to Signor Ricetti, kingpin of illicit antiquities trading. Then Ramses is kidnapped and Nefret is also put at risk--will Amelia and Radcliffe be able to protect their family and the ancient tomb?

"I have already said how much I like this series. I like the things that stay the same; pretty predictable plot, mystery and romance between the unrivaled Amelia and her soul mate, the ever-manly Emerson. I also like the things that change; Ramses and Nefret growing up, the addition of new characters (David). As I have also said, I prefer to listen to these as narrated by Barbara Rosenblatt. I know the words were not written by her and credit should be given where credit is due, but Rosenblatt brings Amelia to life. She is a master at voices; I love listening to how Ramses changes as he grows up; he sounds more like his mother and father every day.
My favorite line; "It is impossible to be angry with a gentleman who pays you compliments, even impertinent compliments.....especially impertinent compliments."
"The Emersons discover Tetisheri's tomb, deal with two rival antiquities gangs (since they assume Sethos is dead), and David joins the family. Ramses and Nefret engage in their first book full of sparring."
