" What happens when Ramses Emerson is set loose on an unsuspecting Egypt? Another truly wonderful adventure is had by the Emerson family. Amelia is true to form - witty and a bit acerbic. The story is fast-paced and exciting. The new characters that are introduced fit seamlessly into the Emerson's world. "

" This is the best in the series--each book continues the story of Amelia Peabody Emerson, her husband, Emerson and her son Ramses as they dig around and in the pyramids in Egypt. The banter between Peabody and Emerson keeps me laughing and now Ramses at age 8, is another source of banter and angst for Amelia. The Master Criminal is close at hand and causing no end of trouble for the trio. Read this series, you will love it. "
