Wonderful fun

Love this series and all of her other books. Barbara Rosenblatt is a wonderful reader and brings the story to life

Never a dull moment

As with the stories that preceded it, this does not disappoint. This reader adds voices for each character and the plot line twists and turns. Can't ask for more!

Great book but ruined by narration

I really like this series, however I decided to try out the new narrator. I was really disappointed in the style the narration was done. They made the characters seem like they were in their 80s. I think I’ll go back to the original narrator and hope that the rest of the books are available in the same way

A very fun adventure to share

All the Amelia Peabody books are so fun. You feel like you're sharing the adventure with her. She and Emerson are adorable characters. I wish they were among my real life friends.

Pure Elizabeth Peters!

One of her more fantastic storylines but well grounded in local mythology and customs. I am enjoying the Amelia Peabody series even more after traveling to Egypt and visiting many of the sites.

Best one yet.

I have listened to all five books before this one and really enjoyed them. This book is the best story yet.

The Emerson’s Ride Again!

Having a life long passion with Egyptology and the country of which I have longed to see, has been vividly brought forth by Elizabeth Peters again.

I first read this series in 1987, and have read hundreds of books in my life. Usually, not one to read a series more than once, these adventures have compelled me to read them many times. The audiobook series has also kept me coming back again and again. Fantastic for road trips or a rainy day, it’s one that one or any family can enjoy together.

I especially love this installment, the change of scenery and twists of intrigue, will keep the reader enthralled and entertained.

This series is very unique. It reads somewhat as a cozy mystery, yet better. Its replete with whipped cream and the sprinkles of a civilization long revered.

The Best of the series so far

Would you consider the audio edition of The Last Camel Died at Noon to be better than the print version?

Absolutely! The superb narration brings the characters to life in a way the written word does not. Barbara Rosenblat could read the phone book and make it interesting!

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I did not see this as a bite-your-nails thriller but there several escape by the seat of your pants scenes in the book.

Which scene was your favorite?

I did not have a favorite scene in this story.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The Amelia Peabody series is not meant to pull heartstrings but to amuse and entertain.

Any additional comments?

Trapped in a lost civilization, Amelia Peabody, her husband Emerson, and her son Ramses solve a mystery while trying to escape. Precocious Ramses leads the villains on a frustrating chase.

Awesome

Simply wonderful
From the author to the reader
The combination is flawless
Highly recommended to anyone and everyone

Captured, Prisoners and Escape

One of my favorite in the series as I have been a fan of the books for many years. The intro of Nephret adds another layer to keep the series growing and changing. The real history, the myths and legends, the dead body and ever useful umbrella combine always to give me great pleasure so I'm adding Ms Rosenblat as another joyful pleasure.
