Summary
Amelia's not the type to take no for an answer, and pretty soon the Emerson family (Master Ramses, a prodigious young intellect is joining his parents for the first time) is tracking down a character known only as The Master Criminal. Or is the Master Criminal tracking them?

Barbara Rosenblat sounds like she is Amelia Peabody. A really enjoyable listening experience.

A delightful romp, beautifully read.
This a lovely piece of escapism. The first-person narration is perfectly done by Peters and Barbara Rosenblat reads to perfection. She's stunning and it'd almost recommend this for the reader than for the writer! Every dialogue is beautifully timed and executed. The accents are pitch-perfect and she even gets the odd German pronunciation spot on. I can't vouch for the Arabic pronunciation by it's very convincing indeed.
I've heard a few criticisms of audiobooks as the 'lazy' option to absorbing a book. Perhaps, but with readers as good as Rosenblat, the audiobook becomes a convergence of two performances; the writer's work and the reader's rendition of it. The book is bigger, better and in the best of cases, more satisfying than one's own stab at it.
Highly recommended.

Read again book with laughs
Third book of Amelia Peabody series and firm favourite introducing Ramses, and his escapades, to Egypt. The narrator is believable as she moves from each character engaging you in this entertaining novel. Have a listen, it's worth your time.

The Mummy Case
Another good story by Elizabeth Peter's Amelia Peabody. Very enjoyable, with a great narrator, bringing the characters to life.

Splendid writing and Barbara Rosenblat is just SUPERB!
This series of books seemed as though it might be going to become a bit predictable and repetitive - until the arrival of young Ramses! So many lovely, laugh-out-loud moments! I have now downloaded the 4th in the series - but I am not at all sure what I shall do when Ramses grows up!!

Another cracker!
What can one say? Another Amelia Peabody Emerson classic. I could also not imagine anyone else portraying the irrascible "Peabody" other than Barbara Rosenblat; she brings the characters to life. You can imagine what Emerson looks like from Peters' marvellous descriptions and Rosenblat's resonant tones. I've read the whole series of books and I've now got most of them in audio format too. One complaint: why hasn't Barbara Rosenblat narrated the whole series? A triumph and highly recommented.

love this series!
i wondered whether this series would continue with its appeal or begin to fade, but it hasn't im happy to say. the combination of the brilliant narrator and the style of writing creates a highly descriptive story that takes the listener back to the pompous upper class British Empire era and the trail blazing exploration of early Egyptian pyramids
