I originally listened to this book several years ago and enjoyed it then. Driving cross country I found this again and enjoyed it immensely the 2nd time - new details popped out. Some might think the British wordiness is tedious but Barbara Rosenblat is very skillful and comforting.

I have loved this story for years and was unsure whether hearing it read would pale in comparison to actually reading it. It turns out that I love both! Barbara Rosenblat does a fantastic Amelia Peabody!

I listen to these over and over. They never get old. A nice clean story.

the story was fun and the different voices were wonderful. I really enjoy listening to this narrator, she is great!

Add to the FABULOUS characters the wonderful setting of Victorian Egypt, and it is truly A WINNER!

This was fun to listen to. The narrator nailed it with the accents and attitudes. The fallen woman, blue stocking spinster and English lordling all felt right. A feeling of what it must have felt like when wealthy Victorians discovered and some what trashed Egypt.

Good for something to listen to I guess. Wouldn't recommend it to my friends unless they just want to hear a British voice read.

I started the Amelia Peabody series in print when I was in college. The narrator is exactly the voice I imagined and did a superb job. While these stories are not deep or requiring of a great deal of thinking, they are a perfect form of "junk food" for my brain in between more serious titles.

Ancient Egypt, eccentric Brits, mummies and curses. A great get-away book. Delightfully free of embarrassing language.

I purchased this based on the high recommendations of Audible. I even listed to the sample thinking this will be good. It wasn't.
I didn't care for the narrator. The story was predictable and drawn out. Again, I'm glad I didn't pay full price. Don't waste your time on this book.
