"It was nice to have a change of location for this one--London was a great change of pace. I must admit that the ending of this one surprised me. I was expecting one of the "Lords" to be the culprit. This was a fun book. "
— Janice (4 out of 5 stars)

" I'm happy to see that murder and intrigue can take place when the Peabody-Emersons are in residence on British soil. A solidly-told tale as is to be expected from Peters. And this time you can actually like Ramses-- a novelty to be sure. "
— Ruth, 2/19/2014 -
" another great series (Amelia Peabody), especially so on audiobook. "
— Anne, 2/10/2014 -
" Didn't really enjoy this one. You could skip it and not miss a beat- it doesn't even take place in Egypt anyways. "
— Alyssa, 1/31/2014 -
" BOT, pretty good, but not fond of this series. "
— Vickie, 1/20/2014 -
" I always enjoy Peabody and her unbrella. "
— Barbara, 1/20/2014 -
" This is actually a strong 3.5*, but I just couldn't give it 4*. For one thing, Amelia immediately and always believes her well-mannered nephew Percy over her own son Ramses. Yes, Ramses has done lots of things that drive his loving parents crazy, but mean and malicious behavior? Never!! But it was Amelia's whiny behavior about Emerson that did me in. She suspects that a woman from Emerson's distant past is still in love with him, so therefore she draws the conclusion that her loving soulmate is meeting this woman every time he leaves the house, but of course an accusation will never pass her lips, so she broods and sulks and carries on to the reader until this reader wanted to slap her face. "

" I listen to these books at night and love the character Amelia Peabody. What a fabulous character. "
— Jeri, 1/6/2014 -
" This was actually hilarious and completely enjoyable. A good beach read or read on your bed with the first open windows of spring read, which is what I did. "
— Christy, 11/16/2013 -
" The Peabodys are between digs, in London. A death in the British Museum takes place and the whole family engages in a fun romp to solve the mystery. "
— Rae, 11/13/2013 -
" I am reading this series in order from the beginning, and this was a good entry in the series. I love it when the family is in Egypt, but this story was great based in England. "
— Lynn, 10/13/2013 -
" I love this series, can you tell? Deeds of the Disturber was another good installment. I really enjoy the relationship between the main character and her husband, too funny and romantic. "
— Denise, 10/9/2013 -
" Book 5 of the Amelia Peabody mystery. I'll have to go back and read them in order at some point... "
— Jessica, 8/21/2013 -
" Enormous good fun, expertly performed. Get the first one (read by Barbara Rosenblat) and then settle in for a long series of hilarious egyptological excavations. "
— Anna, 8/12/2013 -
" Yet another great Amelia Peabody book. Every book is great fun. "
— Terri, 2/10/2013 -

— Moose, 12/9/2012 -
" Wonderfully hilarious romp through Ancient Egypt and early 1900s Egypt as are all her Amelia Peabody books. "
— Mary, 10/4/2012 -
" Another Amelia Peabody mystery. I can't remember if this was the the 4th or 5th book in the series. I liked this one better then the last one. It was set in London as opposed to Egypt and I could follow the events a lot better. "
— Charlotte, 8/29/2012 -
" I just read this one. It took awhile to get into this one but once I did it was fantastic. If you are looking for bad words, this is not the author for you. She doesn't need them. "
— Stacia, 4/10/2012 -
" Though I know some people love this series, I just can't get into the writing style. "
— Sara, 2/22/2012 -
" This time around, jealousy rears it ugly head, compounding the complications for Peabody and Emerson in solving the mystery. And Ramses has an adversary of his own to fight... "
— Meredith, 11/26/2011 -
" Another good Amelia Peabody mystery! Not my favorite but entertaining nonetheless. "

— Jodi, 7/3/2011 -
" I love Amelia Peabody books and I think this was my favorite so far! The narrator is so good and really captures Amelia so well that I hope I can continue to listen to all the books in this series! "
— Amy, 3/8/2011 -
" My favorite of the series. Takes place in England but still covers much Egyptian history. "
— Sherry, 2/19/2011 -
" Why are Aristocrats always so ridiculously dense? I am in accord with Emerson and Peabody. Good Gad! "
— Russamun82, 12/15/2010 -
" The most enjoyable in the series so far, besides in the first one. "
— Sara, 11/23/2010 -
" Unbelieveable, a bit over the top, but that's exactly what you need for that overnight flight to Europe. Entertainment, pure and simple. "
— Andrea, 10/13/2010 -
" I just love Amelia Peabody mysteries. "
— Sarah, 9/10/2010 -
" A fun diversion when your head is muddled with academic stuff.... "
— Chris, 8/27/2010 -
" Ahh, I love a good Amelia Peabody mystery!! I really enjoyed the change of scenery of this book. It's fun when the family spends some time in London, it gives the book such a darker, foggier and wetter feel! "
