This series is set in Victorian times, with the main protagonist of Amelia Peabody, who is now married to Radcliff Emerson, an archeologist. Peabody (as Emerson always calls her, even after she becomes Mrs. Emerson), is herself a serious archeologist and the two now have a son, Ramses, who is going to play a more prominent role in later books. This book was #2 in the series, and was a delight. Well read by Barbara Rosenblatt, but beware if you go shopping for the series - there are two possible readers available, and the other reader is hopelessly American and totally inappropriate for a Victorian woman's voice.
Thoroughly enjoyed. Now, a couple of days with no book to listen to, as I wait for the latest in the Foreigner series from C. J. Cherryh. It's due out next Tuesday, and I'll definitely want to listen to that. (The books are read by Daniel May, who does a superb job with them. )
