About this listen
It was Sir Henry's intention to ensure that no tomb had been overlooked in the previous expedition. Scarcely had the men been at work for three days when their spades uncovered the first of a series of steps cut into the rock.
The Times gave the story a full column, on page three. The next dispatch to come to Luxor, however, rated front-page headlines. Sir Henry Baskerville was dead. He was found next morning stiff and stark in his bed. On his face was a look of ghastly horror. On his high brow, inscribed in what appeared to be dried blood, was a crudely drawn uraeus serpent, the symbol of the divine pharaoh.
Instead of digging up the treasures of a lost age, it appeared that Amelia and her friend Radcliffe were excavating a deadly curse.

Critic reviews
"Peters really knows how to spin romance and adventure into a mystery." (Philadelphia Inquirer)
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would if they were after a cosy crime series and wanted a good chuckle too.What did you like best about this story?
I love how Barbara Rosenblat brings that era back to life by the way she reads those characters. The upper class accents are spot on! But I also love the setting in Egypt, it makes me regret that I am not an Egyptologist and makes me want to visit the country more than ever!What does Barbara Rosenblat bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
A huge part of my enjoyment of this series is Barbara Rosenblat's narration! What an utter pleasure she is to listen to! I cannot commend her enough! Wonderful!What a pleasure!

The story has just the right amount of historical accuracy with lots of nods to real characters and situations of the time, which make it very believable, but overall it's great fun. If you enjoy a more acerbic Miss Marple who is not afraid to get her hands dirty Amelia Peabody is for you.
Wonderful story told well
