The Deeds Of The Disturberby
Elizabeth Peters
From the author's website:
"Can fear kill? There are those who believe so -- but Amelia Peabody is skeptical. A respected Egyptologist and amateur sleuth, Amelia has foiled felonious schemes from Victoria's England to the Middle East. And she doubts that it was a Nineteenth-Dynasty mummy's curse that caused the death of a night watchman in the British Museum. The corpse was found sprawled in the mummy's shadow, a look of terror frozen on the guard's face. What -- or who -- killed the unfortunate man is a mystery that seems too intriguingly delicious for Amelia to pass up, especially now that she, her dashing archaeologist husband, Emerson, and their precocious son, Ramses, are back on Britain's shores. But a contemporary curse can be as lethal as one centuries old -- and the foggy London thoroughfares can be as treacherous as the narrow, twisting alleyways of Cairo after dark -- when a perpetrator of evil deeds sets his murderous sights on his relentless pursuer . . . Amelia Peabody! "
(I finished listening to this book on audio a couple weeks ago and promptly hit the WeRead button at that other site I am on, but neglected to get over here to Multiply and do a post on the book. This book on CD was a gift from one friend here on Multiply and the fact that I even know this series of books exists is due to another friend here on Multiply who shared them with me. Every time I listen to one of the Amelia Peabody books I think that the current one is my favorite of the series. I find them all just delightful. No doubt, any time I need a fluff book, or a little trip to somewhere away from stress and day to day hassles, I know that Elizabeth Peter's will supply that reprieve in her characters antics in these books. I highly recommend these books. And as always, click on the author's name and the title of the book to follow the links and learn more.)
