Ms. Peters is a master, there is no doubt about it. An excellent story, very well written, but I tend to prefer her Vicky Bliss books over Ms. Peabody. Still, I enjoyed the audiobook enough to buy the next one in the series. The narration was outstanding, although the narrator made Evelyn such a whi...
A long time ago, I tried to read this book, and gave up after the first chapter. I am guessing that I really wasn't ready for this series as I took this one on, and discovered that I had a great time with it. In this one we are introduced to the formidable Amelia Peabody, and her friend Evelyn Forbe...
I loved it. I loved the time period, the British humor, and the fact that Amelia Peabody is an independent woman in a time period where women were not permitted to have many of the freedoms they do now. She was stubborn, pushy, full of sarcasm, and not afraid to use her parasol as a weapon. The b...
This has a fairly generic setting, a rather boring mystery, some entirely unconvincing romances (I had to assume everyone in the book was gay and in denial about it. I maintain it makes much more sense that way) and more than a touch of racism. Unfortunately (or fortunately, I suppose) it starts rat...
Plucky English gentlewoman meets homicidal mummy in Victorian Egypt - excellent fun.This is an excellent light read, guaranteed to bring a smile to the reader’s lips and perhaps even provoke the urge to shout “Hurrah” from time to time.This was my first encounter with the redoubtable Amelia Peabody...
Amelia is such a giggle, so typically a victorian woman who is starting to question some of the traditional moulds she's supposed to inhabit. She has always wanted to visit the places she's studied about with her father and his death provides the impetuous. A fun romp of a read.
Emerson and Amelia are given a fairly poor place to dig for their season in Egypt, bringing along their son Rameses (whose real name is Walter) who is a precocious child. An Irritating precocious child, who actually also irritates and entralls his mother, who didn't really have much to do with his ...
Running time 12:14:56Peters is pretty scathing about de Morgan, Petrie, Budge: Qurna: robber villageThis is singularly arch in audio form and it becomes wearisome to engage with when they are over long. No doubt in a while another episode from this series will be yearned for, however for the moment,...
I was happy to find this on audio at the library, although I have a paper copy. It’s easier to squeeze in an audiobook sometimes, and I thought this would be an enjoyable listen. I was right. The narrator drew me right into the story. I loved the manner in which Barbara Rosenblatt endowed these ch...
I had difficulty with all the religious fervor in this installment though I absolutely loved Ramses. What a precocious character! Amelia and Emerson were just dying to get back to excavating in Egypt and at 4 years old (or maybe 5), they figured now was a good time to indoctrinate Ramses into tomb...
