Über diesen Titel

The sun rides high over the British Empire and the light still sparkles brightly in Amelia Peabody's eye as she returns for her second adventure in archaeology and romantic mystery as recounted in her lively journal, The Curse of the Pharaohs.

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.

Kritikerstimmen

"Peters really knows how to spin romance and adventure into a mystery." ( Philadelphia Inquirer)

The second instalment in the Amelia Peabody series, this was another rollicking ride up the Nile. Set in the the late 1800s, it is written in diary form by the unconventional Egyptologist Amelia Peabody who with her husband Ratcliff Emerson ventures to the Valley of the Kings to continue excavations on a tomb where several expedition members have either died or disappeared as a result of the “curse of the pharaoh”. It’s a mix of adventure and mystery as Amelia and Ratcliff try to find out who’s behind it while continuing the excavation.
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
