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.

Best of Historical Mysteries

If you are a fan of historical mysteries, and can accept some, (okay a lot) of improbability in your mysteries for the sake of fun, listen to all of this series. NOTE: Make sure the narrator is Barbra Rosenblatt before you download. ALSO - the unabridged aggravate me - maybe they don't you....

These books are so entertaining, fun and an escape from reality.

Loved It

All of the Amelia books are awesome, I have read them all now listening on Audible

Excellent as always!

Barbara Rosenblat does an amazing job with this series. This installment is an intriguing continuation of the Emerson saga with both old and new characters. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Ramses finally gets Manuscript H!

I’ve read most of the Amelia Peabody series and Ramses, her son, has always been my favorite character. Seeing a Large Cat is the first book in the series to include Ramses’s versions of events with excerpts from Manuscript H. They are my favorite parts of this novel and the series! Elizabeth Peters creates wonderful plots for her stories and Ramses’s viewpoint just adds that much more to make her novels great.

Dependably Enjoyable

This series is a favorite. The history is reliable, the style is authentic, and the plots are engaging. The the characters are likable and amusing; their development and their changing relationships pique interest in the ongoing saga.
A great plus in the audio versions is the amazing Barbara Rosenblat, who gives each character a distinctive and convincing voice.

Very enjoyable book

Would you consider the audio edition of Seeing a Large Cat to be better than the print version?

I like to listen to the audio version because it is like listening to a play. I don't have a lot of time to sit and read a book. I can listen to the book while I do other things.

The mixture of history, comedy and mystery.

She is an excellent narrator. I like the way that gives a different voice to each character. She does well with many different accents.

Follow the exploits of the Peabody/Emerson family in the mystery and majesty of 19 and early 20th century Egypt.
