The Last Camel Died at Noon Audiobook

" very good! Exciting, twisting, always fun "

" I continue to think that this series may well have inspired the characters from The Mummy & The Mummy Returns movies. "

" I found the authors insertions annoying "

" In this one, they find/are brought to a hidden land - only to then need to figure out how to leave. "

" I enjoyed this book in large part because it wasn't just another murder mystery. I appreciated the nod to Rider Haggard, and the final third of the book was quite gripping in the sense that I couldn't figure out who everyone was or what they were going to do. "

" One of the best book titles ever! It's what caught my eye and got me started on the Peabody books. "

" More great Peabody-Emerson fun; this installment describes how Nefret joins the family. "

" 5 stars One of my favorites. "

" Favorite quote: "Talking only dries the throat, Mama," said my son. "

" I simply love Amelia and Emerson. I cannot say I didn't miss their Egyptian adventures but getting to know a completely unknown city was amazing as well as entertaining. "

" I love every one of these. Terrific historical novel. Read them in order. "

" Egyptology details; exciting (for the late 1890s) mystery and adventure in Egypt and Darfur. I really enjoyed this mystery. "

" One of my favorites from the series. "

" This is another great Amelia Peabody mystery with lots of Egyption details, action and plot twist. You are never sure who is doing what and why (esp Ramses) Lots of fun to read "

" i found it a bit slow compared to her other books. not enough dead bodies, i suppose. "

" Good fun. The author is clearly enjoying herself. "

" The absolute best book I have read in a very long time! "

" One of the best in a great series! "

" I am having a blast re-reading the Amelia Peabody mystery series. This is one of my favorites! "

" This story was bogged down with all sorts of names and dates and troop movements that just were painful to read. I don't mind some history, but this was not done well or as far as I could tell really relevant. Not her best. "

" It is fun to go back through this series and remember the origins of so many of the beloved characters, in this case Nefret, and to realize that Ramses was dumbstruck by her from the first! "

" Oh--How I love Amelia's descriptions of her husband---and her independence in a time when that simply didn't exist for women. The characterization is just so much fun in these Amelea Peabody mysteries that it almost outshines the plots which are equally as much fun. "

" While I loved the premise (late 19th century feminist archaeologist and her dashing husband go on digs and solve crimes), I found the dialogue cumbersome and I didn't care much for the characters, particularly the irritating precocious son, Ramses. I won't be reading any more of this series. "

" Every series must have some sort of Shangri La that is discovered and abandoned. Amelia and her family find a lost Egyptian civilization in conflict. After helping an ally to become king, they must not only flee but protect the secret of the hidden city. "

" Yet another delightful adventure of Amelia Peabody. I really liked the reference to Pirate of Penzance. It made me laugh out loud. "

" A new character added! Perhaps a love interest for Ramses in the future. "

" This one might be my favorite. "

" I've read quite a few of these, the first one in the series and the most recent one. This is about 6 books in, it was very entertaining. Liked meeting characters in childhood that I'd only encountered as fully grown adults. Amelia and Emerson were delights, very funny. "

" Lots of fun. I forget how much I enjoy this series, and therefore haven't read most of the books yet. I'm going to have to remedy that right away. "
