RESOUNDING CRITICAL ACCLAIM
“Irresistible . . . a disarming series . . . Amelia is still a joy. She and Emerson continue to dig into the past with gusto, while leaving the more energetic encounters with grave robbers and war-borne villains to their swashbuckling son, Ramses.”
New York Times Book Review
“Wonderfully entertaining . . . As juicy and tasty as a ripe peach.”
Washington Times
“The hype is true. This is Peters’ best book.”
Toronto Globe and Mail
“Elizabeth Peters . . . weaves [her] expertise in breathtaking detail . . .The younger members of the family join their indomitable elders in these adventures, injecting this rich, tongue-in-cheek desert romp series with some fresh and vibrant blood.”
New York Post
“Deeply satisfying . . . A funny and involving work. The joy of the Amelia books has always been their elegant sense of humor; once again Peters manages to satirize romantic thrillers while producing some of the finest in the genre. Rating: A-.”
Entertainment Weekly
“Peters has created a marvelously complex world of characters the reader comes to care about quite a bit.”
Topeka Capital-Journal
The setting is grand and enough research has been done to make it all believable . . . But it is all in fun.”
Roanoke Times & World News
“The action flows along quickly and engagingly, with the beloved cast of characters risking life, limb, and Amelia’s second-best hat to see that justice is done and artifacts protected . . . A smashing conclusion.”
Winston-Salem Journal
“This author never fails to entertain.”
Cleveland Plain Dealer
“Another thrilling episode of crime solving . . . Readers will find all the delicious trappings of a vintage Peters extravaganza—lost tombs, kidnappings, deadly attacks, mummies, and sinister villains.”
Publishers Weekly (*Starred Review*)
“Picking up the latest Elizabeth Peters mystery, featuring archaeologists Amelia Peabody and her husband, Radcliffe Emerson, is like hearing from old friends and learning of their latest adventures.”
Chicago Tribune
“Peters’s legions of fans will find her in fine form.”
Grand Rapids Press
“Using witty dialogue and deft plot devices, Peters instills her protagonists with strength, high moral character, and a deep sense of family . . . That adds to the charm that has made this series so much fun.”
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“A deservedly popular series.”
Orlando Sentinel
