Publisher's summary

Best-selling mystery author Elizabeth Peters has captured the hearts of thousands of readers with her spunky Victorian Egyptologist, Amelia Peabody Emerson. In Seeing a Large Cat, Amelia must ensnare a modern-day killer, a bogus spiritualist, and a predatory debutante in the awesome Valley of the Kings. Someone is sending ominous messages: "Stay away from tomb Twenty-A!" Intrigued, parasol-wielding Amelia won't rest until she finds the forbidden burial site. But when the excavation yields an unusual mummy, she suddenly must protect both her family and the macabre discovery.

Her Ph.D. in Egyptology enables Elizabeth Peters to portray a lavishly detailed turn-of-the-century Egypt in her lively tale of crisp wit and shivery suspense. The spirited cast including Amelia, her eccentric family, and an array of international characters bursts into life with Barbara Rosenblat's brilliant narration.

Engaging listen

I could listen to almost anything narrated by Barbara Rosenblat; she really makes the characters come alive. This is one of my favorite series for both the story, the characters and the performance! However, I think the performance is the focal point for me.

GODD BUT...

After the but is..this is the 9 th book in the series and the 9th one I have read ...and this one lacks some of the pizzazz that the first 8 book had it is still a good book but hoping book 10 goes back to the adventure contained in the earlier books

Loved it

Very little is left to be said about the very entertaining and addictive Emilia Peabody series written Elizabeth Peters and masterfully narrated by Barbara Rosenblat .

My two cents on this is , listen to this hilarious and captivating series ; start with book one , you won't be disappointed.

The Narrator steals the show - Amazing!

This book is 9th in a series of amusing and interesting tales made addictive and outstanding by the narrator. Ms. Rosenblat has developed voices for the characters that are instantly recognizable and incredibly varied. I hear Emerson's 'Bah!' in my head when I'd like to say the word myself in conversation.

If you think ' how can the story hold up after 9 books?' think about how relationships change, how children become adults, how wars shape the world, how archeological finds kept happening all the time in the period of time these books take place, and you'll understand why the story doesn't go stale.

The characters are far more entertaining that the mystery in this story, but I recommend it highly, nonetheless.
