Synopsis

The Great War has ended at last. Archaeologist Amelia Peabody and her husband, Emerson, the distinguished Egyptologist, no longer fear for the life of their daring son, Ramses, now free from his dangerous wartime obligations to British Intelligence. Delightful new additions to the growing Emerson family and new wonders waiting to be discovered beneath the shifting Egyptian sands mark a time of new beginnings in Luxor.However, the theft of valuable antiquities from the home of a friend -- including a magnificent gold bracelet adorned with the image of the goddess Hathor -- causes great concern. Ramses's encounter with a woman costumed in the veil and gold crown of Hathor herself only deepens the mystery.With those in her circle suddenly plagued by a series of "accidents," Amelia attempts to connect these troubling threads into a pattern. But her investigation is setting her on a collision course with an adversary more formidable than any she has ever encountered.Performed by Barbara Rosenblat.

Finished an audio re-read of this and perhaps like it more than on my initial reading. I love that the entire Emerson clan is present for this book. And towards the end I also like that Ramses and Amelia spend time together working on the mysteries as do Nefret and Emerson. It was nice to see the de......more

Every time I read an Emilia Peabody book it's like visiting family. The quirkiness of the characters makes them all so absolutely loveable and the story is always exciting. Emilia and Emerson are still passionate for each other, even as they explore grandparenthood, and Emilia's attitude toward the......more

Goodreads review by Julia on July 14, 2018

I could never rate these books anything less than 5 stars. Or ten, if that was an option. This installment adds the edition of The Children's Children, and what a delight they are. I especially have a fondness for little Charla, who bites. XD I constantly found myself tearing up and laughing out loud......more
