What to say..... another great story from Elizabeth Peter's Amelia Peabody series. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

The Amelia Peabody books are tremendous romps and Barbara Rosenblat narrates them to perfection. Every character is distinctive, but Amelia is an absolute triumph.

Splendid!

What made the experience of listening to The Last Camel Died at Noon the most enjoyable?

Either Barbara Rosenblat is the most talented voice artist on the planet, or she has magnificent multiple personality disorder. The book is narrated by the inimitable Amelia Peabody, so the voice of this imperious, matriarchal, trailblazing protofeminist Egyptologist is our constant. But it's the brilliant contrast with the other voices that makes the listening so enjoyable - I had to stalk Barbara Rosenblat on Youtube to hear for myself that she wasn't a genuine member of the 19th century English upper classes.

What did you like best about this story?

The Amelia Peabody series (RIP Elizabeth Peters) gets better and better as it goes on. 'The Last Camel' is one of the earlier books, a tongue-in-cheek pastiche of King Solomon's Mines, a homage which pokes gentle fun at the self-satisfied arrogance of Empire.

Which character – as performed by Barbara Rosenblat – was your favourite?

Emerson (he of the 'sapphirine orbs', button-pupping muscles and impossibly manly chest) is brought vividly to life by Rosenblat's impressive vocal range, which renders his rumbling basso profundo and mildly cursing outrage in fabulous contrast to Amelia's penetrating contralto, Ramses' piping precociousness and Nefret's tinklingly musical treble.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I mostly listened to this book in the car, so the Peabody Emersons travelled with me on my way to work. I laughed out loud at their improbable adventures and at the moments in the narrative when they were being particular caricatures of themselves - and had a fond smile on my face for the rest of the time.

Barbara Rosenblat - a performative genius

This is the sixth book in this series I have listened to - each one, I assure myself, will be the last and yet, I seem to find myself downloading the next one in the series as I approach the end of the last one! Is it hypnosis - or just the charming and oddly compelling writing of Elizabeth Peters and the magnificent performance of Barbara Rosenblat? Who knows - but off I go to start on book number 7!

Addictive!

Elizabeth Peter's gift of storytelling at its absolute zenith. Barbara Rosenblat is fantastic in her delivery, bringing each character to life with assured command of the author's intent. Wonderful.

Swashbuckling and fantastic!
