The Curse of the Pharaohs (Amelia Peabody)

Audiobook Flow is carrying The Curse of the Pharaohs (Amelia Peabody), read by Barbara Rosenblat. Written by Elizabeth Peters.

The sun rides high over the British Empire and the light still sparkles brightly in Amelia Peabody’s eye as she returns for her second adventure in archaeology and romantic mystery as recounted in her lively journal, The Curse of the Pharaohs . It was Sir Henry’s intention to ensure that no tomb had been overlooked in the previous expedition. Scarcely had the men been at work for three days when their spades uncovered the first of a series of steps cut into the rock. The Times gave the story a full column, on page three. The next dispatch to come to Luxor, however, rated front-page headlines. Sir Henry Baskerville was dead. He was found next morning stiff and stark in his bed. On his face was a look of ghastly horror. On his high brow, inscribed in what appeared to be dried blood, was a crudely drawn uraeus serpent, the symbol of the divine pharaoh. Instead of digging up the treasures of a lost age, it appeared that Amelia and her friend Radcliffe were excavating a deadly curse.
