Death Shall Come

An Ishmael Jones Mystery

De: Simon R. Green

Narrado por: Gildart Jackson

Ishmael Jones is faced with a dead body and a missing mummy in this highly entertaining, genre-blending mystery.

“Death shall come on swift wings to whoever desecrates this tomb....”

Ishmael Jones and his partner Penny have been summoned to remote Cardavan House, home of the world’s largest private collection of Ancient Egyptian artefacts, for the unveiling of George Cardavan’s latest acquisition: a bona fide Egyptian mummy.

When a bloodstained body is discovered beside the empty sarcophagus, Ishmael is dismissive of the theory that the mummy’s curse is to blame. Instead, he sets out to uncover the human killer responsible. But how can Ishmael explain the strange, shuffling footsteps that creep along the corridors? Who is playing games with them...and why?

I love this series

Author Simon R Green is a master story weaver of mystery and wit and I cannot imagine who would be able to deliver the story with such precision other than Mr. GildartJackson. I await another in the series

Lots of intrigue

I love Simon R Greene books. He keeps you guessing until the last minute.

not my thing

like a 50s mummy movie.. just not interesting cause there's no human motivations.. everyone is a caricature..

Love the dialogue

Death Shall Come is a fun listen. I love the dialogue. Gildart Jackson's reading is great.

Love Ishmael in this archeology intrigue book!

Death Shall Come
(Ishmael Jones #4)
by Simon R. Green
I have always been a fan of this author but somehow missed this series of his. I didn't read the previous books but was able to jump right in and not get lost. A great supernatural mystery with mummies, archeology intrigue, and rich family tensions. Ishmael and Penny are there to help sort things out. Fun read! Ishmael is literally out of this world!😉!

An enjoyable story.

This was an enjoyable listen. There was some light humor and plenty of suspense, I will listen to more by this author.

intresting

I love this series the story is always good and the narrator is absolutely phenomenal

Not what was expected

I expected more of an occult horror book based on the description. It was more like a Charlie Chan murder mystery. While there was one element of alien spook, it wasn’t until nearly the end and it was likely a setup for sequels. Well written, but the story was not for me.

Good story, great narration!

I have really struggled to find a book I could get into. i enjoy the Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher, and this book was similar in ways. I'm looking forward to reading more in this series.

Love this narrator

This is the fourth book in the Ishmael Jones series of mysteries. I just listened to the fifth book yesterday. The plots of these two books were almost identical. Nevertheless, I like these stories, primarily because the main characters are quite appealing, albeit quirky.

The books are narrated by one of my favorite narrators, Gildart Jackson, which is why I tried them in the first place. They were available to Audible subscribers at no cost via the Plus Catalog.
