Product Information
In New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Peters's eagerly anticipated Amelia Peabody adventure, the Emerson clan is a hairsbreadth away from unearthing the legendary site they've been searching for. But a sinister plot and a dark family secret stand in the way of their ultimate ambition -- and threaten to change things forever. . . . Convinced that the tomb of the little-known king Tutankhamon lies somewhere in the Valley of the Kings, Egyptologist Radcliffe Emerson and his wife, Amelia Peabody, seem to have hit a wall. Emerson has tried desperately to persuade Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter to relinquish their digging rights. But Emerson's trickery has backfired, and his insistent interest in the site has made his rivals all the more determined to keep the Emerson clan away. The family returns to Luxor and watches from the sidelines as Carter and Carnarvon "discover" King Tut's tomb. But before their own excavation can get underway, Emerson and his son, Ramses, find themselves lured into a trap by a strange group of villains demanding "Where is he?" The Emersons embark on a quest to uncover who "he" is and why "he" must be found, only to discover the answer is uncomfortably close to home. Now Amelia must find a way to protect her family -- and perhaps even her would-be nemesis -- from the forces that will stop at nothing to succeed in the nefarious plot that threatens the peace of the entire region. Filled with heart-stopping suspense, and Amelia Peabody's trademark wit and wisdom, Tomb of the Golden Bird is the latest thrilling installment from the beloved "Grand Dame of historical mystery" ( Washington Post ).Product Identifiers

Highly entertaining murder mystery series
If you love murder mysteries and history, especially the history of Egypt, then this is for you. The characters are well developed, the stories complex and the history is rich. Barbara Rosenblatt narrates the audio books and she is superb! About audio books: I moved outside of the city about 1.5 years ago so I now have a long commute (about an hour each way) to and from work everyday. The traffic is horrendous. Listening to books on CD is a great way to cope and pass the time. But you do have to be careful about selecting the right narrator. Some are so awful I could not get through even the first disc. Others change narrators mid-series without notice. The Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters features Barbara Rosenbaltt throughout the entire series and, as mentioned earlier, she is superb.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
