Neither Amelia nor Emerson believes the message is authentic, but the treasure map proves an irresistible temptation. Now, deep in Nubia's vast wasteland, they discover too late how much treachery is afoot (and on camelback)...and survival depends on Amelia's solving a mystery as old as ancient Egypt and as timeless as greed and revenge.

Critic reviews
"If Indiana Jones were female, a wife and mother who lived in Victorian times, he would be Amelia Peabody Emerson...Combining a fierce affection for her family with indefatigable independence, stalwart Amelia proves once again an immensely likable heroine." (Publishers Weekly)
"Another interest-holding and humorously told Amelia Peabody Victorian suspense tale." (School Library Journal)
"The plot twists and turns....it's delicious." (Washington Times)

Interesting story

I find her voice and speech pattern for Amelia to fit the self-confident, intelligent nature of the character. I had no problems distinguishing her different characters and visualizing them by their voices.
Some have described her as sounding Texan or overly-drawled but I really didn't hear it.
I'm really enjoying the series, and this book is as fun as the rest! Darned camels!
Another great addition!

I have found myself wincing during Ms Rosenblatt's readings due to the extremes she goes to when Ameila is excited. It was a bit of a relief to hear the book read less dramatically. One can only take over-the-top drama for so long before hitting overload.
I encourage you to take a listen and make up your own mind.
A Surprising Relief

Susan O'Malley on the other hand is SO WONDERFUL!!! She absolutely IS Amelia Peabody, and everything she does with these books is just such fun. She has great comedic timing, and it just makes the whole thing so enjoyable and fun and light.
It is a tragedy that she only did the first 6 books. I would love to listen to the entire series, but I just CANNOT deal with Rosenblat. So instead I have listened to these first 6 books narrated by O'Malley about 4 times each now. And I'll probably listen to them again and again. Someone, PLEASE have Susan O'Malley narrate the rest of the books!!! PLEASE!!!!
Susan O'Malley is the best Amelia Peabody!!
