This was written in 1975! 😱 How can you not love a late-Victorian-self-sufficient-no-nonsense-badass female archaeologist protagonist who travels to Egypt in search of antiquarian objects and the freedom to do as she pleases? Throw in some worthy sidekicks and adversaries as well as a mummy-run-amok, and you have one heckuva fun historical detective read. I see more Amelia Peabody in my future.
CatLass007 I‘m so glad you enjoyed it! I see more of Amelia Peabody in my future as well. 5h

CatLass007 I don‘t know if you listen to audiobooks but the first dozen books of the series are free on Audible. I think free things are wonderful.😀 5h

Sace @CatLass007 who is the narrator? Hoopla had two different narrators and I went with the one read by Barbara Rosenblat and she is incredible! I read the book almost 20 years ago and can‘t remember a thing about it but I am sure to remember this audio! 5h
dabbe @CatLass007 I tried audio a while back and had a hard time with it. Maybe I should give it another go. Thanks for the info! 🤗 5h
CatLass007 @Sace Barbara Rosenblatt is the narrator of the book a houseguest and I are listening to. We‘re almost finished. 5h
CatLass007 Audiobooks are not for everyone. I‘ve been reading for most of my life but I only started listening to audiobooks in December 2011. I was crocheting more than I ever had in my life but I wanted something to occupy my mind the way crochet occupied my hands. 5h
Sace @CatLass007 I love to audio craft as well. I have to be doing something when I listen to audiobooks. Usually I‘m cleaning, going for a walk or crocheting. In fact, I have a cardigan I need to work on. 5h
Sace @dabbe I would highly recommend the Rosenblatt. I also listen on 1.30 speed. Normal speed audiobooks feel way too slow to me. 5h
CatLass007 @Sace I have to experiment with the speed every time I start a new book. I‘ve even slowed down some books, which I think is not because the narrator is talking too fast but because of some engineering issue. 5h
kspenmoll Thanks! @CatLass007 for the info about free audible books in this series. I plan to start listening to the first in series this weekend. I usually listen while making a meal, doing dishes, walking. 4h
CatLass007 @kspenmoll Audiocrafting, audiocleaning, audiowalking, whatever works.😀 4h
