About this listen
Theatre Library Association—Freedley Award Finalist
The New York Times bestselling “Grande Dame of historical mystery” (Washington Post) returns with another thrilling tale of mystery.
As the 1921–22 season begins, the Emersons are enjoying a busy period of excavation in Egypt, when they hear a lurid description of a man’s mysterious death. His widow is convinced he died of a curse, and implores the Emersons to return the “deadly” little statue that killed him to the tomb from which it was stolen—before it adds her to its list of victims. Clearly, it would be a serious error for the Emersons to start chasing tomb robbers, just when they have finally received permission to return to the Valley of the Kings, from which they were barred several years earlier. But the family soon realizes that the curse may be more real than they ever imagined … and they may be the next victims.
Everyone is older and Ramses twins are starting to be little characters themselves. All the characters are back together. If you have listened to the rest of the series you will understand when I say it’s like revisiting old friends. A happy sojourn in Egypt with the Emerson family. Most agreeable. I might join them in a restorative whiskey and soda! 😉
Every year another murder! 🥰
