Über diesen Titel
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.
Don't miss the rest of the Amelia Peabody series.©1981 Elizabeth Peters (P)1990 Recorded Books LLCKritikerstimmen
It’s a charming, somewhat old-fashioned story with plenty of characters and humour. I was amazed to read that Amelia Peabody is based on a real person: Amelia Edwards, a Victorian Egyptologist who wrote diaries in a similar style.
Recommended for some light & reading in between.
The audiobook is fantastically narrated by Barbara Rosenblatt.
Fun ride up the Nile with mystery & adventure
