About this title: Amelia Peabody and family are on a new expedition to the Valley of the Kings at the beginning of the 1907 archaeological season.

"This was one of the most fun of the Amelia Peabody series I've listened to. Once again Amelia Peabody encounters the Master Criminal, young lovers, murder and frustration with the ineptness of fellow archaeologists. Part of the fun is the insertion of journal entries from Ramses and Nefret with their take on things and the adventures they have that Amelia is unaware of. Also an unexpected bonus is the conversation after the end of the actual book between a representative of Recorded Books, the author Elizabeth Peters and the reader Barbara Rosenblatt."
"I downloaded this one from the Henrico library to my MP3. There was a great surprise at the end: an interview with the author and the narrator. This was both interesting and funny. Elizabeth Peters (really Barbara Mertz) said that Barbara Rosenblatt doesn't read the character's lines, she performs them. So true! Peters also begs, pleads, and sends fudge so that she gets an early copy of the audiobook.
I'm trying to pace myself so I don't run out of this series, but I'm very eager to start the next one."
"This one was a little hard for me to get into, but I still enjoyed it. Peabody is an amusingly written character. I usually try to read books like this in order, and I think that might have been part of my problem this time. I've only read the first one in this series, but I picked this up at the Y for a buck and I didn't have another book in the house that I hadn't already read. I think I will pick up at book two. There is not much to them, but they are entertaining."
