Finished. I really enjoyed this one. Ms. Rosenblatt is an excellent reader, and the series is just getting better and better. In
The Mummy Case, we get the introduction of Peabody's and Emerson's son, Ramses, who is an incredibly precocious child, but a wonderful character. And, of course, his cat Bastet, who is clearly going to continue to play a role in the books. I'm looking forward to the next one,
Lion in the Valley. But first, a digression to an even earlier era, with
The Talisman Ring, by Georgette Heyer, read by Eve Matheson. This should be fun!
