    About this audiobook

    Each book in this best-selling series is greeted with cheers by the ever-growing number of fans who relish the adventures of the Emersons, a family of Victorian archeologists. The shifting sands of intrigue and wry humor that fill these mysteries are always a delight.

    It is the autumn of 1916, and war has cast its long shadow across Egypt. Cairo is filled with soldiers, and the ancient tombs are filled with treasure hunters. Amidst this chaos, the Emersons have come for their yearly dig. When Amelia Peabody Emerson discovers a fresh corpse in an antique tomb, she knows this season will be a most intriguing one.

      This follows He Shall Thunder in the Sky, so Ramesses and Nefret are finally enjoying (definitely enjoying) the pleasures of married life. The archvillan Sethos has been revealed as having a relatively speaking good side, Meanwhile Amelia Peabody and her husband carry on investigating another murder at an archaeological site as usual.
    • 4/5
      Just when you think Ms. Peters characters are getting a little too familiar, she flings another interesting character and situation at you. The Master Criminal has been a shadowy presence throughout the series, but here he is in bright daylight and is just as amusing and interesting as the Emerson family has been. Plus there's lots of newlywed Ramses and Nefret to enjoy - oh and there's a mystery too (though that sometimes gets lost in the humor!)
    • 5/5
      I love how each book in this series is better than the preceding one. Its 1915 and the extended Emerson family is in London, but hoping to be able to make the hazardous trip to Egypt. Eventually some of the family arrive in Egypt and the usual mixture of murder, mayhem and archaeology ensues. The Master Criminal is back, or is he? As a result of the events from 'He Shall Thunder in the Sky' Ramses's life comes under threat, so he and Nefret move to Luxor, ostensibly to ensure that the tombs they've previously excavated haven't been robbed, while Amelia and Emerson remain in Cairo, and as a result there are two parallel and complimentary narratives as each couple gets entangled in a series of adventures and misadventures. All of this, plus the reappearance of some old friends and adversaries makes for a superb read.

      "an amelia Peabody Mystery"despite never having heard of Amelia peabody I enjoyed this book. Egyptiology and the very uppercrust. although she was supposed to despare at her peers she was so much one of them. Meeting people from the train, numerous servants - as trusted as they may be definitivly not friends or part of the family. but told in a way that is just so much part of life (ofcourse servents do not have lives of their own, they are here to serve the family)So much of this book referes back to previous episodes that their must be numberous of books but only having read this one I found it a little irritating, was I have to have read them the repitition would have been realy annoying.despite these it was a book that held my attention - if not my heart.
    • 4/5
      The Ramses/Nefret angst is not entertaining, but otherwise this book was as enjoyable as the others in the series.
    • 4/5
      Another really good story by Peters! She is also fantastic at character creation & development. Her characters always feel so real. They really bring life to the story. Looking forward to seeing what the Emersons get into next...
    • 4/5
      The saga of the Egyptological Emerson family continues. Lord of the Silent begins with their return to Egypt as WWI threatens, yet again, to pull them into its midst.Even as they retreat to their beloved Luxor they are not immune to the effects of the war.When Amelia discovers a recently dead body in a tomb, which is then followed by the discovery of others, they are plunged right into the thick of things, as usual.Meanwhile, Amelia is busy trying to keep her son Ramses from being compelled to accept another dangerous undercover assignment and she is also working to discover if their arch nemesis is at work once again.Fun, fun, fun!
