À propos de cet audio

 The sun rides high over the British Empire and the light still sparkles brightly in Amelia Peabody's eye as she returns for her second adventure in archaeology and romantic mystery as recounted in her lively journal, The Curse of the Pharaohs.

It was Sir Henry's intention to ensure that no tomb had been overlooked in the previous expedition. Scarcely had the men been at work for three days when their spades uncovered the first of a series of steps cut into the rock.

The Times gave the story a full column, on page three. The next dispatch to come to Luxor, however, rated front-page headlines. Sir Henry Baskerville was dead. He was found next morning stiff and stark in his bed. On his face was a look of ghastly horror. On his high brow, inscribed in what appeared to be dried blood, was a crudely drawn uraeus serpent, the symbol of the divine pharaoh.

Instead of digging up the treasures of a lost age, it appeared that Amelia and her friend Radcliffe were excavating a deadly curse.

Barbara Rosenblatt knocks another one out of the park with her narration of the second Amelia Peabody novel, The Curse of the Pharaohs by Elizabeth Peters. Again, her narrative style is crisp, and she handles the different voices and styles with the élan.

This book introduces us to the beginnings of the second generation of Emerson’s, Ramses and his cousins, and Bastet, their guardian cat. The story progresses steadily, and by the end, the villain is exposed and captured, the secondary love story is resolved, and the ends are neatly tied up.

Caution: As always, Emerson, Amelia, and the rest of the cast exemplify the attitudes of the British at the height of the Empire, and these books represent the thinking of the times.

On to the next book, The Mummy Case.

Amelia Peabody is indomitable
