" Once again this series has never failed to entertain me. Book #12 began with a flashback, and by the time I got to the end I had forgotten all about it. It was an interesting plot surprise. I plowed through the last 150 pages today because I just couldn't put it down. Intense scenes and memorable characters. A great read! Now, on to the next one! "

" My favorite book for a long time. Politics, danger, intrigue, humor, family, tortured romance, the return of Amelia's nemesis and admirer, and a satisfying ending. Really the series should have have stopped here. "

" In my opinion this book is the one that all other lead up to or away from in this series. It grips the reader from start to finish and leaves you going, What? Wow! by the end. The characters are all at their most, their best and their most intriguing in this book and I enjoy every minute of it. "

" One of the best in the series so far. Lots of action; lots of development in relationships. However, the author resolved so many things that were dangling that I am not sure where she is going next. "

" The first of this series I read (who needs chronology - but I was a little confused). The writing is much better in these later books, but it was even better after reading some of the earlier stuff. "

" Yawn. Peters needed a tough editor on this one. Or perhaps she should have skipped the attempt at convoluted war/spy stories and cut down on the saccharine sentiments that try to pass as deep emotion. "

" Truly the best of the series - so much goes on to solidify the family, and a lot of progress towards the inevitable end of Victorian Egyptology - tut is still lost, yet coming ever closer. "

" The books keep getting more exciting. World War I has just started and the family must try to maintain its neutrality while trying to ward off a revolution and a Turkish/German invasion.
Plus do a little archeology!

" A great summer read. E. Peters writes in the style of archaeologist Howard Carter and yet manages to make the reader laugh at the absurd situations the characters find themselves. I'm going to look for more in this series.
