The Golden One (Abridged) Audiobook

" Perfectly delightful, as are all the others. "

" A new year, 1917 is dawning and the Great War that ravages the world shows no sign of abating. Answering the siren call of Egypt once more, Amelia Peabody and her family arrive at their home in Luxor to learn of a new royal tomb ransacked by thieves. Soon an even more disturbing outrage concerns the intrepid clan of archaeologists: the freshly and savagely slain corpse of a thief defiling the ancient burial site. "

" this was the first book i read from this author and after i was a fan of the series "

" Not as entertaining as most of her books. This took a long time to get to any excitement. It did end pretty well, but very predictably. "

" Now I remember why I lost interest when there were years between new books. Oh, Emersons, your lives so crazy. "

" I absolutely love this series. These would make great films. Amelia is a heroine for all times, and the archeological setting is delightful. Mummies, sarcophogus, curses, male/female role posturing....Mystery, humor, romance, these books have it all! "

" The characters in Elizabeth Peters books are just wonderful. Each character has a tenacious and colorful personality which adds true vigor & vitality to each & every story by this author. LOVE THEM. If you like Indiana Jones, you will LOVE these books. "

" I cannot get enough of the Amelia Peabody mysteries. The Emersons are, quite simply, my favorite family in literature. I adore the audiobooks, narrated by Barbara Rosenblat. As narrators go, it doesn't get better than Rosenblat. "

" Another excellent Peabody, Emmerson and their extended familes book - there's a war on, and Ramses must do some undercover work for the goverment. Lots of details, lots of sub-plots, a little over-blown, as usual - but great fun. "

" This is just an excellent book. I loved and laughed through the whole book. It's like reading a letter from family. I also liked how they journeyed somewhere else in addition to England and Egypt. "

" Fun! Actually listened to it on audiobooks while driving to Ohio from Tybee. Great narration - good, clean, smart fun. "

" Entertaining, but rather too much time spent nattering over luncheon. "

" Her other ones- the earlier ones- were better. Still, a fun romp through the pyramids! "

" Just as fun as all the rest! "

" #14 in the series. This is where I stopped enjoying it so much "

" I liked this one. There were 3 different stories in this book, but it was constantly entertaining. We get to revisit Ramses under cover personality, and see he and Nefret as a couple. Sethos also makes a grand appearance. All in all, it was terrific. "

" I thought this one was a bit slow. Perhaps because she is trying to get through the "war years" or just trying to tide things over for awhile. "

" This book was so chock-full of plot she had to split it into three sections. It definitely felt interrupted, but I liked all three divisions. Another winner! "

" Another favorite series. I love the voice, especially, and the setting and plots. "

" Read completely out of order, this was the first book I've read of this series (after randomly finding it at a thrift store) and I can't wait to read the others! "

" I do love Amelia Peabody books. I think this gets an extra star though cause the actress that read this book was just fantastic. There is a lot of dialogue in the book and I always knew who was talking. "

" Not her best, but picking up from the slump she went into... I really wish I could give it 3 1/2 stars. "

" These books are all too similar for my taste. "

" She was "The Golden One, Horos, Goddess of Nuturing, of Fragrance". I love this as the theme for the book. Note the depiction of Horos on the cover. "

" Perfectly delightful, as are all the others. "

" This is the culmination of Peters' Amelia Peabody series. Sadly, she might be retiring. But what better way to put the series to bed than by embroiling Amelia, et al., in a mystery surrounding the discovery of King Tut's tomb? "

" long but crammed with good plot "

" one of my favorites of her collection. "

" She was "The Golden One, Horos, Goddess of Nuturing, of Fragrance". I love this as the theme for the book. Note the depiction of Horos on the cover. "

" Fun! Actually listened to it on audiobooks while driving to Ohio from Tybee. Great narration - good, clean, smart fun. "

" The family is increasing which bodes ill for everyone's peaceful future although a tremendous find is awaiting them under the Egyptian desert. Ramses is under siege by military intelligence to perform just one more job for them---a rescue of their uncle. And Nefret harbors a secret of her own. "

" Fun and exciting entry. Made me look forward to the next one very much. So happy about the baby! "

" It is always interesting to explore Egypt with Amelia Peabody and her family. There is always a bit of a mystery to be solves. "

" I do love Amelia Peabody books. I think this gets an extra star though cause the actress that read this book was just fantastic. There is a lot of dialogue in the book and I always knew who was talking. "

" This is really three stories in one, lightly intertwined. The book is even sectioned into threes. It's fun - but not as good as the earlier WWI one. I like the second part best which has a lot more interaction with Sethos. "

" ends with a nice cliffhanger, not sure if I like that, and really the entire book reads like a prelude to the next one, so i'll ave to hurry and start reading again! "

" I thought this one was a bit slow. Perhaps because she is trying to get through the "war years" or just trying to tide things over for awhile. "
