Summary
Amelia's not the type to take no for an answer, and pretty soon the Emerson family (Master Ramses, a prodigious young intellect is joining his parents for the first time) is tracking down a character known only as The Master Criminal. Or is the Master Criminal tracking them?

A delightful romp, beautifully read.
This a lovely piece of escapism. The first-person narration is perfectly done by Peters and Barbara Rosenblat reads to perfection. She's stunning and it'd almost recommend this for the reader than for the writer! Every dialogue is beautifully timed and executed. The accents are pitch-perfect and she even gets the odd German pronunciation spot on. I can't vouch for the Arabic pronunciation by it's very convincing indeed.
I've heard a few criticisms of audiobooks as the 'lazy' option to absorbing a book. Perhaps, but with readers as good as Rosenblat, the audiobook becomes a convergence of two performances; the writer's work and the reader's rendition of it. The book is bigger, better and in the best of cases, more satisfying than one's own stab at it.
Highly recommended.

Another winner - highly recommended
In this audio book, Barabara Rosenblat has captured Rameses to perfection. In addition to her other superb voices, she brings the precocious verbose youngster to life and make you chuckle. She also provides the foreign accents for the German Countess, the French archeologist, the American missionaries and the native Egyptian workers. Barbara doesn't just narrate the book she acts it with her voice so that the experience of listening is so much more enjoyable and does justice to the book.

The Mummy Case
I love mystery stories, history, romance, humour and a good gripping plot. To find all these elements in one book is rare but Elizabeth Peters has done it and brilliantly. Having read the book first and already formed my own mental images of Amelia, Emmerson and Ramses, Barbara Rosenblat brings them to life with an amazing talent as a narrator, she is as convincing as Amelia as she is as an Egyptian worker. I am totally addicted to this series so come on Audible, how about the rest of this series right from begining!

Brilliant books
My very first audible book was an Amelia Peabody novel read by Barbara Rosenblat you never want to switch the tape off. The Mummy Case is as compelling as the rest of the series. The book is spooky in its own way and funny. The way each and every Peabody book is written can bring history to life.

love this series!
i wondered whether this series would continue with its appeal or begin to fade, but it hasn't im happy to say. the combination of the brilliant narrator and the style of writing creates a highly descriptive story that takes the listener back to the pompous upper class British Empire era and the trail blazing exploration of early Egyptian pyramids

Read again book with laughs
Third book of Amelia Peabody series and firm favourite introducing Ramses, and his escapades, to Egypt. The narrator is believable as she moves from each character engaging you in this entertaining novel. Have a listen, it's worth your time.
