Summary
But, rest assured, dear reader...domesticity does not prevail. When a night watchman mysteriously dies in front of the mummy Lady Henutmehit in the Egyptian room of the British Museum, Amelia is on the scene with her trusty parasol, ready to do battle with the malignant mummy.
Despite the appearance of an ancient sem priest and cryptic notes in hieroglyphics, Amelia surmises that a less-ancient villain is at work, a villain with evil plans for select members of the British archeological community, including her beloved Emerson. Is the villain plotting Emerson's demise, or something even more sinister?

Very Enjoyable! Superb Narrator
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Narrator was excellent as usual, truly one of the best narrators I have heard giving life and character to everyone she reads.
This book was based in England, a nice change from Egypt and I enjoyed the plot and the way the story developed. A certain amount of 'willing suspension of disbelief' is required with all Amelia Peabody books, but the language is rich, intelligent and rewarding and the characters both interesting and portrayed with a sense of humour. A very enjoyable listen.
However, such a pity that Audible does not have book 4 of this series available in their listings as it is referred to frequently in this and subsequent books in the series.
Have you listened to any of Barbara Rosenblat’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I have listened to several of this narrators books, and she is consistently superb throughout.
Any additional comments?
Please can you ensure that you have the full Amelia Peabody series available, from start to finish. Book 4 missing and others I think.

A great narrator
The fourth or fifth Amelia Peabody story my husband and I have listened to, and although not set in Egypt, the intrigue remained.

Great listen
This is a great listen all the usual favorites are back. This time the mystery is in London. With midnight assignation and lots of fog. The narration is excellent

witty, fun and gloriously read!
Am I right in thinking Barbara Rosenblat is American? You'd never know it - she does the voices impeccably: Victorian posh , Cockney, Irish, Arabic, male, female, children's ....They are great fun, these Amelia Peabody books, with a satisfying amount of erudition and background research underlying the sparky narrative. The formidable, parasol-wielding heroine is frequently forced to yield to erotic and tender impulses when dealing with her wily husband and precocious son, two more excellent comic creations.
