The Curse of the Pharaohs Audiobook

" #2 for Amelia Peabody (and her growing entourage). Think of Lord Carnarvon... "

" The second book in the Amelia Peabody series. We visited the Valley of the Kings shortly after I finished this and much of the geography rings true. It's an amusing, quick read.... "

" I absolutely love this series. These would make great films. Amelia is a heroine for all times, and the victorian banter is delightful. Think Jane Austin with much more chutzpah! "

" Like most Amelia Peobody novels, the joy of the tale is in the details. The fascinating mixture of Egyptology, historical setting, bizzare and amusing characters, and mystery make these novels unique. Peters has admitted that she did not initially plan on a series. Published six years after the first adventure, this second book introduces many regulars, including the young Ramese, Cyrus Vandergelt, Bastet (the cat), and Kevin O'Connell. "

" Another wonderful mystery by Elizabeth Peters! I absolutely loved the relationship between Emerson and Amelia. It was so fun to see their ups and downs as a married couple, how they complimented and aggravated each other almost simultaneously. The mystery was truly a mystery until the end and the characters were all entertaining. I can't wait to see what adventures lie in store for Ms. Amelia in the future. "

" Amelia Peabody mysteries are among my favorite. Amelia is a woman who is ahead of her era in regards to what she does and where she goes. It is easier to get the continuity if the series is read in order but I started with The Hippotamus Pool and wasn't confused. I then started at the beginning and kept going. I still have several to "catch up" on. "

" There were some parts in this book that cracked me up. I laughed so hard I had to keep putting a sleeping baby down to avoid waking her up! "

" Ms Peters is still getting her characters set in number 2 of this fine series of archaeologists and mystery in late 1800s Egypt. I laughed, and I didn't figure the mystery out exactly. I liked it,but not as much as I have enjoyed the 3 or 4 of her later books in the series. "

" Great cozy mystery. Amelia is a hilarious narrator for this Victorian tale. Looks like young Ramses will figure in the next book which should add another layer of fun. "

" Another installment in the Peabody series. Not as good as the first, but still solid. "

" After listening to the first book I felt eager to hear more of what happened in the adventures of Peabody and Emerson . . so, I checked this one next and found it quite entertaining. More of book 1, but still enjoyable. "

" A wonderful follow-up to Crocodile on the Sandbank "

" My sisters said that the books in this series just keep getting better and better. This is so true!! I really enjoyed book #2! I listened to book #1 and book #2 on CD and laughed and laughed!! I get so caught up in the mystery and am dying to get to the end to figure it all out. "

" This was an enjoyable read - Amelia's narration is always full of wit, sophistication and spunk. It wasn't quite as enthralling as the first installment but was still a light, cozy mystery. "

" Amelia and Emerson never disappoint. Great interaction between two single minded people who love each other. They are way advanced beyond the confines of the turn of the Century mores. Lots of fun. "

" One of the early books from this series I had missed. Enjoyable read. "

" I absolutely ADORE this series. I think there are 18 books in this series and I want to read all of them. :D "

" The same clever, witty writing style is back and as enjoyable as ever, though the story line is a bit weak overall. Still though, the great characters and laugh-out-loud writing style makes this a very fun read. "

" It was a little difficult for me to stay interested in this book. I'm not really even sure what the curse was. I want to try to keep reading this series - this is the second book. The first book kept my attention a little better. "

" Another hilarious Amelia Peabody mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed the history as well as the relationship between Amelia and Emerson. Already have the next in the series teed up. :) "

" I listened to this so I missed a few parts of the story. It is a light mystery that takes place in Egypt during the early 20th Century. I enjoy the archealogy parts of the story but I do find parts of the book boring and dry. "

" This next book in the Amelia Peabody series didn't disappoint. I love that (Radcliffe) Emerson has some mystery-solving capabilities as well. ;) "

" I love Amelia Peabody! I think she's an engaging character who takes charge no matter how topsy-turvy the situation she's in. She finds the most proper, logical, and in a word, British, way to handle the oddest of scenarios, and she gives a candid narrative of every detail. "

" I am enjoying this series and have ordered the next two books from the library. I like the characters and these books are just an enjoyable read. "

" Just love the narrator on this one, she does the voices so well and the main character, Amelia Peabody is just a joy! "

" Very good, keeps you reading. I love her humour too. "

" I think it is a well written book with a great storyline. I liked it much better than the first one because she had a better handle on the characters which is to be expected. One again a great plot and memorable characters. "

" I really enjoy these books the author has created very likeable majn characters and has a very dry sense of humour that comes accross really well in the writing "

" Good fun, although I think the best prose involves Ramses .... "

" Mystery wasn't as interesting as the first book, but enjoyed the antics surrounding the Emerson's relationship. "
