Amelia is as entertaining as ever, and I really enjoyed the addition of "Manuscript H" - written by an unknown family member. I did, however, notice the absence of a character who is no longer with us.

The end of this book, although over relatively quickly, is such an important moment in the development of he series. That s all.

Another wonderful addition to the Amelia Peabody books, and now that her and Prof. Emerson's children (Ramses, and their wards Nefret and David) are old enough to be more than just comic relief, it makes for a really enjoyable story. Not that earlier books weren't enjoyable, I'm just loving the evolution of the books as the characters age. I feel great affection for all of these characters and even though there are about 11 more books in the series, I am sad at the prospect of it coming to an end. Guess I'll just have to start rereading them, eh?

Quel incroyable livre que celui-ci. La fin m’en a mis les larmes aux yeux à cause de Ramses, dont on commence enfin à voir les vrai couleurs ! (Il était bien temps qu’on ait son point de vue). Elizabeth Peters écrit les sentiments humains et les relations humaines comme personne d’autre. On ressent vraiment dans ce livre l’évolution des personnages. L’un des plus beau livre de la saga.

I love the Emersons! In this one the Emersons are warned not to dig at a certain tomb. so, of course, that's where they go. I love Emerson and Peabody but Nefret, Ramses and David are teenagers and are very involved in the mystery. Loved it!

Love the addition of Manuscript H - giving us insight into the wonderful, teasing bonds between Ramses, Nefret and David. Also really fun seeing Amelia from a different perspective.
