The 1895-96 season promises to be an exceptional one for Amelia Peabody, her dashing Egyptologist husband, Emerson, and their wild and precocious eight-year-old son, Ramses. The much-coveted burial chamber of the Black Pyramid in Dahshur is theirs for the digging. But there is a great evil in the wind that roils the hot sands sweeping through the bustling streets and marketplaces of Cairo. The brazen moonlight abduction of Ramses??and an expedition subsequently cursed by misfortune and death??have alerted Amelia to the likely presence of her arch nemesis, the Master Criminal, notorious looter of the living and the dead. But it is far more than ill-gotten riches that motivate the evil genius this time around. For now the most valuable and elusive prize of all is nearly in his grasp: the meddling lady archaeologist who has sworn to deliver him to justice... Amelia Peabody… (més)

Ridiculous scooby-doo ending, but if you like campy light reads this one's ok. ( )

The fourth Amelia Peabody mystery finds Amelia, Emerson, and Ramses back in Egypt and excavating at Dahshoor. But things are not destined to go smoothly. From a kidnapping attempt of Ramses to Amelia's decision to reform a drug-addicted Scot and her desire to help out a young woman accused of murder, this is an action-packed season.

And behind it all is the Master Criminal, Amelia and Emerson's archnemesis. This master of disguise is determined to press his suit with Amelia who has eyes for no one but Emerson.

This is filled with the usual humor of the series and has less archaeological detail than earlier volumes mainly because Amelia is too busy assisting young lovers and tracking down the Master Criminal to actually do any.

Fans of the series will enjoy Ramses' growing role in the stories and the strong relationship between Amelia and Emerson. Susan O'Malley did an excellent job with all the various voices. ( )

The family has enjoyed this series in audio format over the years and once again the miles flew by on our trip west as the plot spun out. ( )

Lord of fear, great of fame,

In the hearts of all the lands.

Great of awe, rich in glory,

As is Set upon his mountain...

Like a wild lion in a valley of goats.

"My dear Peabody," said Emerson, "pray correct me if I am mistaken; but I sense a diminution of that restless ardor for living that is so noted a characteristic of yours, particularly upon occasions such as this. Since that happy day that saw us united, never a cloud has dimmed the orb of matrimonial bliss; and that remarkable circumstance derives, I am certain, from the perfect communion that marks our union. Confide, I implore, in the fortunate man whose designated role is to support and shelter you, and whose greatest happiness is to share your own."
