From Publishers Weekly

Peters (Barbara Michaels) regales thriller fans with the fifth tale about spunky Amelia Peabody, her ardent spouse Emerson and their small son Walter, "Ramses," a genius who sorely tries his parents. In the new story, the family is home in England from their archeological dig in Egypt and deep in another mystery. Determined Victorian feminist Peabody refuses to be intimidated by a phenomenon reported at the British Museum, where a sem priest is supposedly working a curse in revenge for the desecration of an ancient mummy. The priest's supernatural figure is momentarily glimpsed at the exhibit, before a murderer strikes. Disobeying Emerson, of course, Peabody lays her life on the line and unmasks the decidedly human villain. There are several intriguing new characters in this mystery, including nasty types who persecute Ramses, creating unexpectedly tender moments between mother and child. But the spotlight shines brightest on Peabody and Emerson, a couple evenly matched as hot-blooded lovers and professional partners. This is one of grandmaster Peters/Michaels best.

From Library Journal

Fifth in the exceptional series that begins with Crocodile on the Sandbank , this adventure catches irascible archaeologist Amelia Peabody in London between digs. A mysterious death in front of a "cursed" mummy case in the British Museum piques Amelia's curiosity, and a subsequent connected murder engages her perspicacious intervention completely. Dangerously precocious son Ramses (at times disguised) and formidably handsome husband Emerson (at times stubbornly obtuse) contribute to the usual mayhem. First-rate, densely packed action, fun, and atmosphere. REK

5.0étoiles sur 5 Loved It, Jui 16 2004
Par Un client
So far this has been my favorite in the series. It is thoroughly entertaining from beginning to end. Some of the most hilarious exchanges between Peabody and Emerson yet. Ramses becomes more adorable and less annoying. (I agree that Peabody's attitude towards him is a little disturbing. That's the only drawback to the series, in my opinion.) The "mystery" is fun and moves along. You won't be disappointed!

4.0étoiles sur 5 Good, But Not As Good As The Other Books, Déc 8 2003
Par Avid Reader (Willow Springs, MO United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
The Deeds of the Disturber finds the Peabody Emersons returning home to England so that Emerson can finish his book, but it's not long before they are embroiled in yet another mystery. The mystery here is interesting enough, but Amelia and Emerson belong in the hot sands of Egypt, not foggy, damp London. The book shines a light on the character of O'Connell, a wily, Irish (if not a bit stereotypical) newspaperman and introduces us to the newspaperwoman Miss Minton. Both are great characters that drive the plot. There is also the introduction of a woman from Emerson's past, which creates an interesting subplot of jealousy for Amelia. Also introduced in this book are Amelia's nephew and niece: Percy and "dear" Violet. Both are necessary, but extremely obnoxious, characters that bedevil Ramses and reduce him in the eyes of his parents. This whole storyline is the main reason I've lowered my rating to 4 stars. Amelia's treatment of her only son borders on abuse and it just spoils an otherwise good book. Don't let that stop you from reading The Deeds of the Disturber, though. The mystery is good, and different, and you'll find yourself well invested in the plot and characters - even the annoying characters.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Elizabeth Peters is wonderful!, Sep 5 2003
It has been a while since I read this book, but I read almost everything that Elizabeth Peters writes. Her books are part romance novel (not generally on my reading list) and partly mystery, with a gentle humor throughout. For me, these books are great escapist reading. My favorites are her Amelia Peabody mysteries. They are just plain fun, set in an exotic location. My only complaint is that I can read her books faster than she can write them--but I'm willing to wait for her next offering!
