À propos de cet audio

 The joys of home and hearth are about to drive Victorian gentlewoman Amelia Peabody Emerson mad. While she and her husband, the renowned archaeologist Radcliffe Emerson, dutifully go about raising their son Ramses, she dreams only of the dust and detritus of ancient civilizations. Providentially, a damsel in distress - coupled with a promising archaeological site - demands their immediate presence in Egypt. The damsel is Lady Baskerville, and the site is a tomb in Luxor recently discovered by Sir Henry Baskerville - who promptly died under bizarre circumstances. The tabloids immediately scream "The Curse of the Pharaohs!"

Amelia and Radcliffe arrive to find the camp in disarray, the workers terrified, and a most eccentric group of guests. A ghost even appears.

This is not at all what Amelia considers an atmosphere conductive to scientific discovery. Never one to deny others the benefit of her advice and example, the indomitable Victorian sets about bringing order to chaos and herself that much closer to danger. How Amelia triumphs over the forces of evil - and those who would stand between her and her beloved antiquities - make for a delightfully spirited adventure.

I really enjoy this suspenseful yet gentle mystery series. In the first one of the series, the book was narrated by Barbara Rosenblatt who absolutely brought the English heroine Amelia Peabody to life. In this one for some unfathomable reason, they've gone with an american narrator and it just does not work, given all the distinctly English diction in the book. Shame because its a great story with engaging characters.

Great series, okay performance

Murder! Mystery! Mayhem! Romance! What more could one ask of a historic archaeological adventure? An enigmatic cat and a red-haired Irishman? You’re in luck.

I found this production to be a good mixture of entertaining and relaxing. The narration is humorous and engaging but didn’t keep me up at night. Perfect!
