Lion in the Valley Audiobook

" Love this book! It's hilarious! Amelia & family are busy again with archaology, murderers and mystery. Plus, we finally meet Sethos... "

" Wonderfully hilarious romp through Ancient Egypt and early 1900s Egypt as are all her Amelia Peabody books. "

" Love this book! It's hilarious! Amelia & family are busy again with archaology, murderers and mystery. Plus, we finally meet Sethos... "

" Loved it!! Elizabeth Peters is one talented lady. "

" The Black Pyramid...The Master Criminal...Ramses getting kidnapped! Gosh, it's just full of adventure. You can't get any better than Radcliffe and Amelia being dragged into a murder mystery that seems over their heads, and turns out to be perfectly brilliant. "

" The family has enjoyed this series in audio format over the years and once again the miles flew by on our trip west as the plot spun out. "

" I wasn't as big a fan of this one for some reason... just seemed more romance and less thriller. I can see why she went with a "big bad" but I wasn't as big a fan. "

" 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. "

" Love this series - working my way through them again. "

" Amelia peabody starts out slowely, but as the characters progress, they become more interesting and amusing. You have to learn to read Amelia's "reports" with the understanding of her prejudices and attitudes, but her adventures are full of fun and swashbuckle "

" Really? This was one of the most ridiculous over the top mystery that I've ever read. And the ending! Really? What a disappointment. I won't be getting the next one despite my interest in Egyptology. "

" This one was a little bland for me but I do enjoy the competition between Amelia and Emerson, so I'll keep reading the series. "

" I really like these books about Amelia Peabody and her family of Egyptologists. They're crazy and, therefore, lots of fun to read about, and the crimes they solve are rather funny too. "

" I really like these books. They are so funny! And I love Ramses. I think he is my favorite character. "

" Another good one in the series. "

" Halfway through the first chapter I realized I'd read this book a number of years ago, but I was enjoying it so much I just kept on reading. "

" Okay, I really enjoy her books, but this one had a slow start. I didn't see the twist on the "bad guy" or the "love interest" at the end. The last two chapter were the best in the book. "

" The Master Criminal has a name, or at least a nom de plume. And of course that name is Sethos. Some things are so obvious in retrospect. "

" This series of course if for purely entertainment purposes but I love stuff about Egypt so there are a few interesting facts thrown in there regarding archaeology. "

" There is nothing like an Amelia Peabody book to get me out of a funk! "

" More fun adventure, humour, and romance! "

" Delightful, intelligent Victorian mystery series set in Egypt. "

" Book 4 of the Amelia Peabody mystery series by Elizabeth Peters. I read it in only 5 days (I started it on February 2nd). I had a hard time putting it down. If you like a good mystery I highly recommend you read this book, you won't be disappointed. "

" This is another great read by Elizabeth Peters. My favorite part of this book was Ramses' discussion with Emerson about amoebas. LOL! "

" One of my all-time favorites! "

" Another fun AP book! :o) "

" Tacky - if possible - in a good way. "

" I adore Amelia Peabody. Actually, I want to be her. This was another fun and hilarious mystery in the series. "

" Another great book in this series. I enjoy the banter between Amelia and Emerson. They are a great husband and wife team. Interesting story line including Egyptology, mystery, murder (of course), archeology, and humor! Elizabeth Peters was able to do it again with another fun read! "

" Amelia Peabody is delightful, as usual. "

" Ramses could give a mother a heart attack.... but it's funny when it's someone else's (fictional) kid. :) "

" Peters is always a good mystery escape read! Good airplane reading! "

" I really like these books. They are so funny! And I love Ramses. I think he is my favorite character. "

" I just read this for the book club I am in. I am looking forward to our discussion. "

" Loved it!! Elizabeth Peters is one talented lady. "

" This one was a little bland for me but I do enjoy the competition between Amelia and Emerson, so I'll keep reading the series. "

" I am still entertained by Amelia and Emerson and very intrigued by the "Master Criminal". I really enjoyed this one. "

" Another great addition to the Amelia Peabody series. "

" Ramses as a child continues to make me laugh. A good mystery with the Master Criminal approaching ever closer. What a cozy mystery series to read as it's getting cold and dark outside. "

" I liked it. I have sorta skipped around in the series, so it was fun to go back and see (in a sense) "when it all began"... at least a big PART of the story. Of course, Ramses is, as always, my favorite character. "

" I liked this book the best so far of the Amelia Peabody series! "

" Ramses could give a mother a heart attack.... but it's funny when it's someone else's (fictional) kid. :) "

" This was a step backwards chronologically in my adventures with Amelia Peabody and Radcliffe Emerson. It was really fun to go back 10 years. Ramses is hilarious as an 8 year old, unbelievable, really, and Peabody is quite the same. I'll have to read the next one. "

" I keep re-reading the Amelia Peabody novels, amazing entertainment and fantastic escapist literature with a knowledgable Egyptology aspect. "

" Mystery and romance all set in Egypt...and written by a very clever author that makes me smile all the time while reading. Love this series! "

" Read for a second time. I love living in Amelia's world! "

" Another highly enjoyable book in this series! This novel is rather silly, but I just liked it so much anyway! I guess I just always think "Master Criminals" in mysteries are quite dated and absurd, but it just works here. "

" I always enjoy an Amelia Peabody mystery - and I enjoyed the characters that were introduced in this one. But I was so disappointed by the ending (which I won't mention here so as not to "spoil" it for anyone). It just didn't fit with the rest of the novel - completely unexpected and unbelievable. "

" Favorite quote: "Most magnificient of women, I adore you with all my heart and soul! I brought you here not to harm you, but to shower upon you the ardent devotion of a soul hopelessly caught in your spell." "

" I'm not so sure if this is quite as good as the others I've read or if it's because I haven't had a much time to be able to sit and read for any length of time recntly. "

" #4 in the series. The Master Criminal is active, and Emelia (with husband and son) aren't out of his sights just because they're digging on the Black Pyramid. A great book to read when you're heading to (or in) Egypt. "

" Well, it took me a long time to get through this one, although the I enjoyed the end, so perhaps the problem was a lack of focus on my part, rather than anything to do with the story itself. However, I think I'll take a break before i move on to the next one... "

" Lord, I do like Ramses...I think the children that are the most active and curious to raise turn into the most interesting adults. It'll be fun to see how Ramses turns out! "
