LION IN THE VALLEY

Egad! Another adventure set in Egypt in the 1890's featuring the intrepid Amelia Peabody Emerson and her incredible entourage! The convoluted schemes of the tomb-robbing Master Criminal almost foil Amelia; then she discovers that she herself--tightly furled parasol, heaving alabaster bosom and all--may be the charming man's target. Narrator Barbara Rosenblat does a wonderful job of portraying the characters in this comedy-melodrama. She uses tremendous vocal range and pacing to deliver the witty dialogue. This audiobook is a fine addition for fans of Elizabeth Peters. B.V. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 93]
