From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. The absorbing 18th entry in MWA Grand Master Peters's bestselling Amelia Peabody series (after 2005's The Serpent on the Crown) centers on one of the great real-life discoveries in Egyptology—the opening of Tutankhamon's tomb in the Valley of the Kings in 1922. Amelia's husband, Radcliffe Emerson (aka "the Father of Curses"), has been wooing Lord Carnavon and Howard Carter to let him excavate in the Valley of the Kings where they have digging rights, leading his competitors to think there must be something worth unearthing in the area. The eventual uncovering of King Tut's burial chamber and its magnificent contents attracts a host of museum curators, antiquities specialists, government officials, reporters and thieves. The arrival of Emerson's shady half-brother, Sethos, desperately ill and carrying a secret document, further complicates a plot involving attacks on the Emerson family, Middle East politics, conspiracies and love affairs. Once again Peters delivers an irresistible mix of archeology, action, humor and a mystery that only the redoubtable Amelia can solve. (Apr.)

From AudioFile

The Elizabeth Peters/Barbara Rosenblat audio enterprise seems to gain panache with each outing, since Amanda Peabody and her extended family of Egyptologists are tailor-made to display Rosenblat's talent for drama and dazzling gift for accents. In this installment, an aural bazaar of characters is in play as a somewhat peevish Howard Carter makes the find of the century, the unplundered tomb of King Tutankhamen, while the Emerson-Peabody clan watches in envy from the sidelines. Emerson's black-sheep brother, Sethos, turns up with malaria and a stolen coded document; his estranged wife, Margaret, follows, but Amanda kidnaps her. Half the characters are plotting to rob Tut's tomb, the other half to overthrow the government; chaos reigns, but Rosenblat is droll, sly, witty, and in complete control. B.G.

4.0étoiles sur 5 The Long-Hinted Discovery Is Revealed, Juil 15 2006
This review is from: Tomb of the Golden Bird (Hardcover)
If you haven't read any books in this series, do not read this one yet! Instead, go back and read the books in order of their release. This book is so populated with extended characters that it won't make much sense to you without the earlier novels. You'll feel like you've been dropped into a two minute segment of a soap opera with no plot notes. Also, the earliest books are the best, so you have two incentives to start in the beginning.

If you are a long-time reader of this series, you'll be pleased to learn that Ms. Peters has finally arrived at the discovery of King Tut's tomb ... which she has long been hinting was coming through Amelia's dreams about Abdullah.

As you can imagine, the greatest 20th century discovery in Egypt is a big event to cover in a novel. Ms. Peters had a challenge here: How much should she vary from the historical script? Ultimately, her decision was to embroider around the edges ... but leave reality relatively untouched. I think that was a good decision.

But obviously, making that decision provided some problems for this novel. It would have been weird to focus on Emerson doing lots of Egyptology. Clearly, he would have been hanging around with Howard Carter. At the same time, that also reduces the scope for various side plots. As a result, the story line is pretty thin in this one. In fact, no one would probably want to read this book just for the "mystery" and plot development.

But, there's good news. Ms. Peters has involved a lot of her best characters and developed them through action and inaction. So if you love the characters, you'll find this book rewarding ... especially if you enjoy the twins.

The Emersons arrive early in the season and are disappointed to learn that Lord Carnavon has kept his excavation rights to the Valley of the Kings for another year. Howard Carter, however, has graciously granted them the rights to do some excavation in another area of Thebes. Amelia is starting to think it's time for Ramses and Nefret to set up housekeeping and their own careers in Cairo. Emerson is convinced that a major tomb will be found, and he's found an ally to help him spot it. Early in the book, that ruse works out well.

But Emerson and Ramses are also confronted with a group that lure them into a small shop to ask them where "he" is. Quickly deducing that Sethos is in trouble, no one is surprised when Sethos arrives in disguise. Eventually, Sethos reveals that he's come into possession of what seems to be a valuable coded message. No one can decipher the message, however, until Peabody takes a crack at it (and succeeds in most improbable style).

Grab a comfy chair, curl up with some delicious coffee and cookies and have a ball!

(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Tomb of the Golden Bird (Hardcover)
My current boyfriend works in the publishing industry, and one of the great benefits is getting to read Advance Readers Copies (and for free for that matter!). "The Tomb of the Golden Bird" was in a recent pile of books he brought home. I had never heard of this author before but decided to give her a try as I have always been fascinated by ancient civilizations and archeology. I soon realized that this was a series, the 18th book no less! However, I did not find this to interfere with my enjoyment of the book and it stands very well on its own. The plot centers around the discovery of King Tut's tomb, and the heroin of the tale is Amelia Peabody Emerson. The story is told from Amelia's perspective through her journals, and while there is plenty of action, political wheeling, murder, and kidnaping, much of this story is told at a more leisurely pace then I am used; I like thrillers mysteries and this more soft-boiled than hard. That being said I really did enjoy the way the author wove the archeology and the history of Egyptian archeology into the plot. There was also more humor than I expected. I know this review is probably stating the obvious to readers already familiar with this series, but perhaps it will help those new to Ms, Peters writing.
