About this listen

 The indomitable Amelia Peabody and her husband, known to many as "the Father of Curses", are into archaeology and mischief again. This third in the series brings the reader once more into Egypt and the shady world of black market antiquities. The winter excavation season has hardly yet begun when Amelia stumbles onto what looks suspiciously like a ring of thieves.

Amelia's not the type to take no for an answer, and pretty soon the Emerson family (Master Ramses, a prodigious young intellect is joining his parents for the first time) is tracking down a character known only as The Master Criminal. Or is the Master Criminal tracking them?

Critic reviews

"A writer so popular that the public library has to keep her books under lock and key." (Washington Post Book World)

In this audio book, Barabara Rosenblat has captured Rameses to perfection. In addition to her other superb voices, she brings the precocious verbose youngster to life and make you chuckle. She also provides the foreign accents for the German Countess, the French archeologist, the American missionaries and the native Egyptian workers. Barbara doesn't just narrate the book she acts it with her voice so that the experience of listening is so much more enjoyable and does justice to the book.

My very first audible book was an Amelia Peabody novel read by Barbara Rosenblat you never want to switch the tape off. The Mummy Case is as compelling as the rest of the series. The book is spooky in its own way and funny. The way each and every Peabody book is written can bring history to life.
