Product Description:
Banned forever from the eastern end of the Valley of the Kings, eminent Egyptologist Radcliffe Emerson's desperate attempt to regain digging rights backfires—and his dream of unearthing the tomb of the little-known king Tutankhamon is dashed. Now Emerson, his archaeologist wife, Amelia Peabody, and their family must watch from the sidelines as Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter "discover" the greatest Egyptian treasure of all time.
But the Emersons' own less impressive excavations are interrupted when father and son Ramses are lured into a trap by a strange group of villains ominously demanding answers to a question neither man comprehends. And it will fall to the ever-intrepid Amelia to protect her endangered family—and perhaps her nemesis as well—from a devastating truth hidden uncomfortably close to home . . . and from a nefarious plot that threatens the peace of the entire region.

This last book in the Amanda Peabody series. TOMB OF THE GOLDEN BIRD, has Emerson "The father of curses" watching from the sidelines as Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon make the discovery of the century with the find of King Tut's tomb.
Egypt seethes with politics and wise Amanda knows there are few years left for excavations as the country achieves nationalism. The day of the foreigners working the sites is passing while Amanda and Emerson have grown older.
There isn't the suspense of ... Read More

I love her books. Haven't found one yet, I could put down. She just doesn't write them fast enough. Her other books are good but not as wonderful as the Egypt series. I want to know NOW what is happening to her extended family and friends.

The novel Tomb of the Golden Bird by Elizabeth Peters is a long and slow. Frankly, after listening to the entire unabridged version, I am still trying to understand what the plot is all about. This book lacks a conflict or a purpose and resolves nothing at the end.
Set in the early 1900's in Egypt during the discovery of the Tomb of King Tut (The Golden Bird), several British characters walk around and talk alot, but, not about much. The "sub-plot", the opening of the tomb and the vast ... Read More

I usually try to be thoughtful and reasoned when doing a review, but this book was just plain bad. This series jumped the shark several books ago, but I keep hoping Peters will realize this and turn the series over to a new generation of characters that *might* be able to breath some new life and new ideas into the plotlines.
Alas, this is nothing but a "clips show" of old material (Sethos as rogue - we get it! David entangled in Egyptian independence - done! And, PLEASE, no more visions ... Read More

I am currently listening to the audio CD of this book. This is the first exposure I have had to this author. The story is great but runs a little slow in areas. I find it fun to listen to. I am grateful to Elizabeth Peters for keeping it relatively clean as far as language goes. Her books are fun and refreshing and keep the reader/listener inerested enough to want to find out what happens next. Thank you Elizabeth for a GREAT read.
I've listened to Elizabeth George mystery books. They ... Read More
