Crocodile on the Sandbank Audiobook

" Ok story. I listened to it on audio and liked it... "

" I loved this book. I have read all of Elizabeth Peters books but the ones about Amelia Peabody are my favorites even though I also like her books written under other names. "

" Rereading the delightful and hilarious first entry in the Amelia Peabody series! "

" 2.5 stars. Eh. Some funny parts but VERY predictable. "

" Barbara Rosenblatt brings the characters and the story to life. It was wonderful. "

" I loved "PEABODY!!!" I so enjoy audio books and this was exciting, romantic and thrilling. And the ending was perfect. Now what happens next? I'm getting the next audio book today! "

" I really liked this book it was fun and had a good story line. I liked Amelia and her attitude she was great. "

" Elizabeth Peters is always smart, always funny and always worth reading! "

" As a read novel, I might have given this 3 stars. As an audiobook, it was bumped up to 4 stars. I have to verify which version I listened to a couple of years ago, but the narrator did a very good job with the novel. Entertaining. "

" Interesting, but, I figured out Lucas's plan as soon as he appeared at the dig. "

" Loved Amelia Peabody, a witty, snarky, great feminist heroine who winds up with a mysterious mummy mystery in Egypt. Can't wait to start the next one. "

" A light mystery (amidst the mummies) in the spirit of Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot. Cute. "

" It started out a little slow, but then I became very interested in the characters. I think I'd like to get to know Amelia Peabody better. "

" Plotting is a tad primitive - can see the villain and resolution from a mile off. But the Victorian voice is passably done and there are some nice comic scenarios. "

" Not great. Not horrible. Nice to read a mystery story that isn't full of blood and guts. On the other hand, most people these days will turn their noses up at this one because it doesn't move fast enough. "

" We have read--or more accurately listened to--quite a few of the Amelia Peabody books. I did not realize we had not read the first one. It was fun to find out how the series begins. These are always fun for a light mystery read. "

" One of my all-time favorites. I read this book just about once year, every year. Love the characters, especially Amelia, and all the archaelogical facts. "

" This book is a classic! Hilariously funny story about a Victorian age amateur archeologist and her adventures in Egypt. "

" Read and re-read - and now that I'm older and my eyes tire more quickly - listened to entire series on audio. By far my favorite series of all time!! "

" I've already read this book before, but I still love it and will probably read it again and again over the years, as well as the other books in the series. "

" So far I love this book! "

" How have I not discovered this book before? What a gem! Adventure, mystery, romance, deception...and a fantastic, spunky female lead. I can't wait to read more in the series, but it will be hard to match my enthusiasm for the first. "

" I LOVE this series and I LOVE the main character Amelia! A historical fictional mystery set in Egypt in the late 1800's...... "

" One of my all-time favorites "

" Amelia is so lovable. She is gruff but on the inside her heart is huge. I found the mystery itself predictable and very easy to figure out, which would normally take away from a story but in this case didn't. You'll find yourself routing for the characters and laughing at Amelia's witty narration! "

" I can't get enough of this series. Entertaining and a fun read. "

" Witty and funny. I really loved this book for all it's wit and charm. I usually don't like mysteries, but this was had plenty of light-hearted moments to outweigh and overpower the suspenseful ones. "

" The first of 20+ Amelia Peabody adventures (all with more-or-less satisfying endings), these Victorian feminist archaelogical mystery adventures are right up my alley. "

" Now, this is the kind of mystery I like! There's action, romance, history and sarcasm on almost every page. I absolutely loved it! I'm anxious to continue with the series, especially since the 9th installment is due out soon. Yay! "

" Snarky, humorous, characters in exotic Egypt. Peters tell a good story with all the detail of someone who really experienced a winter in a wadi mucking about with the details of a dig. "

" Saw this on Melanies good reads and decided to read it myself. I laughed throughout. A delightful read, predictable but I didn't care. Fell in love with the witty, and irrascable characters. "

" Good gad! What a great heroine! "

" My favorite series,current favorite author. Love the indomitable Main character and the wit of the author. Found myself laughing out loud throughout the series. For a special treat, listen to it narrated by Barbara Rosenblat. "
