From Publishers Weekly

The legions of Amelia Peabody Emerson fans will be overjoyed with this 14th in the series (after 2001's Lord of the Silent), for they're getting two books in one. First, MWA Grandmaster Peters offers another amusing if wordy Egyptian archeology mystery, set in 1917 and replete with grave robbers, a murder, the discovery of a richly furnished tomb and a cast of thousands. Halfway through the book, this plot is annoyingly left dangling when the British recall the Emerson's brilliant son, Ramses, for an espionage assignment in Gaza, where he must determine if a newly powerful figure, Ismail Pasha, is really the Emerson family black sheep, Sethos, master criminal and secret agent. The redoubtable Amelia; her eccentric husband, Radcliffe; Ramses's adventurous wife, Nefret; and their faithful foreman, Selim, follow him in disguise. Captured by Sahin Pasha, head of the Turkish secret service, Ramses later escapes, fulfilling his mission with his family's help. Then it's back to Egypt, where the Emersons and their friends the Vandergelts solve the murder and subdue the villains. Radcliffe even ejects intrusive tourists from fragile archeological sites. Peters's books divide the mystery-reading public. With a Ph.D. in Egyptology from the University of Chicago, she provides an authentic historical backdrop. However, her long-winded explanations and preposterous plots frustrate many. Those who enjoy romance and find the hubbub of the Emersons and their devoted entourage entertaining will forgive the faults.

From AudioFile

Victorian adventuress Amelia Peabody is back in the fourteenth of this popular series, read with giddy brilliance by Barbara Rosenblat. It's 1917, the Great War is ravaging throughout Europe and Asia, and Peabody and her husband, Egyptologist Radcliffe Emerson, are chasing tomb robbers in Luxor. Meanwhile, their son, British spy Ramses Emerson, travels to Gaza on a dangerous mission of his own. Plot-wise, the story is weak and somewhat muddled. But Peters's real talent is in creating lovably eccentric characters whom Rosenblat nimbly brings to life. Rosenblat displays her versatile talents by giving voice to British explorers, American scoundrels, Egyptian muftis, and Turkish spies. A very entertaining romp in the Middle East.

3.0étoiles sur 5 The series is still fun, but it's not what it once was, Avril 5 2004
Par Jim Mann (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Golden One (Mass Market Paperback)
Elizabeth Peters seems to be running out of steam with Amelia, Emerson, et. al. The series was once a really wonderful one. Now, I still follow along since I've liked the characters so much over the years, but the characters themselves seem tired at times, and the plots are predicatable and often flabby. Moreover, the humor -- once such an important part of the series -- is now much rarer. I still enjoy the books overall -- and The Golden One is no exception -- but they aren't what they once were.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Back to Form, Déc 1 2003
Par Louis M. Perdue (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Golden One (Mass Market Paperback)
Having been just [very] slightly disappointed in the last book in this series, Lord of the Silent, I was brought back to loving this series once again with this entry. There are the usual elements of an Amelia Peabody mystery: a couple of dead bodies, some threats made against the family, Emerson screaming, Peabody knowing all, Ramses being enigmatic and so forth.
In this episode, Amelia and family are being led to believe that someone has found a previously undiscovered royal tomb. They waver back & forth as to whether this is possible or not but continue to think about the clues pointing in that direction.
Meanwhile, Ramses is convinced by the army to sneak himself into the enemy-controlled Gaza to discover if their old nemesis, Sethos, has indeed gone over to the enemy. Amelia, Emerson, and Nefret cannot allow him to do this without their help, of course, and mayhem ensues.
All in all an enjoyable read and a nice cliffhanger at the end to build interest in the next book.
