LORD OF THE SILENT

Amelia is up to her old tricks, ferreting out the identities of evildoers and tomb-robbers in the Cairo of 1916. She and the rest of the extended Emerson family are about as much fun as anyone can have and never leave home. Wry wit and sparkling dialogue propel you headlong into the sights, sounds and textures of a bygone era when Britain took its opulence and grandeur for granted. No one has more fun with this eccentric, highly educated, and fiercely loyal bunch than Barbara Rosenblat . She puts on the persona of Amelia like a favorite pair of old slippers. Long beloved among audiophiles for her incredible Golden Voice, she is at her best in this bestselling series. A book read by Rosenblat is a treat to be savored and cherished. D.G.
