À propos de cet audio
But Amelia, accompanied by her quixotic husband Emerson and Ramses, their elusive son, feels an awful, nameless foreboding as she stands upon the decks of the ship that bears them across waters of the Mediterranean towards Egypt.
Perhaps it has something to do with what transpired the last time they investigated the ruins of the Black Pyramid. On that infamous occasion they came face-to-face with Sethos, that chameleon-like villain otherwise known as The Master Criminal. While successful in depriving this "genius of crime" of his ill-gotten treasure, they were thwarted in their attempts to capture him. He escaped into the night like a wily serpent, revenge embroidered upon his countenance.
It is inevitable that The Master Criminal should come face-to-face with the inimitable Amelia Peabody again, but this time it is not antiquities he is after, but Amelia herself!

Listening to Amelia Peabody’s adventures takes me to Egypt in Victorian times
The fourth Amelia Peabody novel, Lion of the Valley, moves along quickly. The Emerson excavations at Dashur are interrupted with the reappearance of the Master Criminal, now identified as Sethos.
Emerson, Amelia, and the precocious Ramses each have their own theory as to the identity of their nemesis, and red herrings and misdirections abound. The Cat Bastet works her usual magic, for after all, she is an Egyptian cat, and in the end there are two dead bodies, several mishaps at the dig site, two young lovers reunited, and a denouement straight out of overblown Victorian literature. It’s a great romp,
As usual, Barbara Rosenblatt brilliantly narrates this, and she brings all the characters to life.

A good lark
It took a couple of chapters to get into the mode for a Peabody lark but once in, was chuckling regularly. The reader was very good - most expressive!
