Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Indomitable Amelia Peabody is nearly undone in the latest romantic thriller to feature this strong-minded Victorian archeologist and her husband, Radcliffe Emerson. Leaving in England their precocious son Ramses and Nefret, an orphan girl whom they rescued from an ancient Sudanese city in The Last Camel Died at Noon , Amelia and Emerson return to Egypt. Assorted kidnapping attempts, including one from Shepheard's hotel, suggest that someone, probably their archenemy (known as the Master Criminal), seeks to uncover the location of Nefret's lost city of gold. Amelia courageously rescues Emerson after he is abducted, only to find he has lost his memory, even of his love for her. In the company of wealthy American archeologist Cyrus Vandergelt, they proceed to a dig to search for Nefertiti's tomb, where Amelia tries to awaken Emerson's memory while hoping to disprove an ancient superstition that threatens death by snake, crocodile and dog. Amelia, beset by doubt but undaunted, is in top form as Peters supplies a surprise ending to cap her surefire entertainment. 50,000 first printing; author tour.

From Library Journal

Each addition to the deservedly popular Amelia Peabody series displays new facets of Peters's rich talent and whets the appetite for more. This archaeological season, Amelia and husband Emerson leave unruly son Ramses in England with beautiful ward Nefret ( The Last Camel Died at Noon , Warner, 1991). Amelia anticipates time alone with Emerson, but the Master Criminal devises otherwise: In his quest for directions to the fabulous Lost Oasis, he attempts abduction, subterfuge, and espionage. High adventure, narrated in Amelia's witty, inimitably resplendent style. Peabody fans will rejoice. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 6/1/92; for an interview with Elizabeth Peters, see "The Three Faces of Mertz/Peters/Michaels," p. 128.--Ed.

5.0étoiles sur 5 One of the Best So Far, Jui 23 2004
Par Un client
Ce commentaire est de: The Snake, the Crocodile, and the Dog (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a thoroughly enjoyable Amelia Peabody--the first one I simply could not put down until I finished. I found Ramses's letters utterly hilarious. ("I have three pounds 11 shillings.") At first I thought Amelia was annoying with her "7-Year Itch" but it was turned round on her in a touching way. There is a great surprise ending (though I was not surprised!). This one is really funny. You won't be disappointed!

Ce commentaire est de: The Snake, the Crocodile, and the Dog (Mass Market Paperback)
I have enjoyed all of the Amelia Peabody stories, but this is the first one that made me think I would want to read it again.
Emerson has lost his memory, and it was fun to watch him get to know Amelia again. Then, there was a twist at the end that made me go "what!" I never saw it coming!

3.0étoiles sur 5 Lost in Amarna, Nov. 16 2003
Par "murrayj51" (Baton Rouge, LA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Ce commentaire est de: The Snake, the Crocodile, and the Dog (Mass Market Paperback)
I love Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody mysteries! While I enjoyed this book, I believe it would have been a difficult choice had I not read the preceding books in the series. Amelia and Emerson return to the archeological site where they met, however things are more dangerous than ever and the Emersons are constantly in peril.
One of the stranger plot twists is Emerson's amnesia and sudden recovery. During his amnesia Amelia's character exhibits emotional depths that are touching but very removed from her general pragmatism.
This book was okay, but not my favorite in the series.
