From a New York Times bestselling author, a Victorian-era thriller featuring Egyptologist Amelia Peabody, a self-proclaimed spinster and heiress who's unrattled by anyone–including mummies.

The unshakeable Amelia Peabody embarks on an Egyptian adventure armed with self-confidence, a journal to record her thoughts, and, of course–a sturdy umbrella. On her way to Cairo, Amelia rescues young Evelyn Barton-Forbes, who has been abandoned by her scoundrel lover. Together the two women sail up the Nile to an archeological site run a pair of handsome brothers.

Strange visitations, suspicious accidents, and a botched kidnapping convince Amelia that there is a plot afoot to harm Evelyn. Now Amelia finds herself up against an unknown enemy–and perilous forces that threaten to make her first Egyptian trip also her last...

Excellent!

Brought an older series to new life. Thoroughly enjoyed. And the gal who did Evelyn was spot on!

As good as the Barbara Rosenblat narration

This is done so well. I was a little hesitant and Barbara Rosenblat perfectly narrated this series. Now I recommend getting both versions. I loved the theatrics of this version. Great voice actors and background sounds. I’ve read this book numerous times and it never disappoints

Excellent production and performances

I’m a long time Elizabeth Peters and Amelia Peabody super fan. I wasn’t sure, but glad I took the chance. Really enjoyed first full cast Crocodile on the Sandbank production. Enjoying this title, looking forward to The Mummy Case with Ramses coming into story in major way. Looking forward to more in future.

Crocodile on the Sandbank

This was amazing. Great proformances all the way around. Elizabeth Peters is a wonderful author and Amelia Peabody is a treasure.

Didn't Live Up to Expectations

I really wanted to like this. I almost always enjoy Graphic Audio's dramatizations, but this didn’t work. It probably doesn't help that I've listened to all the Barbara Rosenblatt audiobooks and her narrations are superb. This version doesn’t quite capture Amelia’s pomposity and Emerson’s bluster. Granted, Crocodile on the Sandbank is doing a lot of work to introduce characters that are more fleshed out in future books, so the story is a little weak. All this being said, if Graphic Audio adapts the 2nd book, The Curse of the Pharaohs, I’ll give it a listen.
