About this listen

Ishmael Jones is faced with a dead body and a missing mummy in this highly entertaining, genre-blending mystery.

“Death shall come on swift wings to whoever desecrates this tomb....”

Ishmael Jones and his partner Penny have been summoned to remote Cardavan House, home of the world’s largest private collection of Ancient Egyptian artefacts, for the unveiling of George Cardavan’s latest acquisition: a bona fide Egyptian mummy.

When a bloodstained body is discovered beside the empty sarcophagus, Ishmael is dismissive of the theory that the mummy’s curse is to blame. Instead, he sets out to uncover the human killer responsible. But how can Ishmael explain the strange, shuffling footsteps that creep along the corridors? Who is playing games with them...and why?

I love this series

Author Simon R Green is a master story weaver of mystery and wit and I cannot imagine who would be able to deliver the story with such precision other than Mr. GildartJackson. I await another in the series

Good story, great narration!

I have really struggled to find a book I could get into. i enjoy the Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher, and this book was similar in ways. I'm looking forward to reading more in this series.

Love this narrator

This is the fourth book in the Ishmael Jones series of mysteries. I just listened to the fifth book yesterday. The plots of these two books were almost identical. Nevertheless, I like these stories, primarily because the main characters are quite appealing, albeit quirky.

The books are narrated by one of my favorite narrators, Gildart Jackson, which is why I tried them in the first place. They were available to Audible subscribers at no cost via the Plus Catalog.

This book is really good...

Although I wouldn't want to live in a museum of Egyptian artifacts. Oh my, there are some great lines in this book and Penny comes to life! There are twists that will have you trying to figure out what is really going on. And you see a glimpse of the new Colonel's human side.
Beware gem seekers - they could be cursed...

Love Ishmael in this archeology intrigue book!

Death Shall Come
(Ishmael Jones #4)
by Simon R. Green
I have always been a fan of this author but somehow missed this series of his. I didn't read the previous books but was able to jump right in and not get lost. A great supernatural mystery with mummies, archeology intrigue, and rich family tensions. Ishmael and Penny are there to help sort things out. Fun read! Ishmael is literally out of this world!😉!
