5.0 out of 5 stars The Emersons are back in Peters newest tale !!!!!!!!, 10 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Snake, the Crocodile and the Dog: Complete & Unabridged (Audio Cassette)
Peters has achieved another high in her continuing saga of the colourful Peabody/Emerson family in this 7th volume...now not only the parents of 10 year old Ramses they have a 13 year old "Priestess Of Isis" to raise (see"The Last Camel Died At Noon" for Nefret's story)which leads to all kinds of complications...but they make it back to Egypt for a new season of digging...and a 2nd honeymoon sans children only to be caught up in the devilish doings of 2 separate groups of criminals...we meet the enigmatic "Master Criminal"again...but Amelia wielding her parasol is in good form,until fate deals her a blow that only a desperate application of her "detectival" abilities can mitigate...not to forget the old egyptian fairy tale that seems to be providing clues along the way...Peters intimate knowledge of Egyptology as well as talent for characterisation is what makes her protagonists as well as their side-kicks so fascinating and unforgettable...of course meeting up with familiar faces is always a pleasure...but the mix of archaeology/mystery/familial shenanigans/societal attitudes & political realities...is a special delight...add an enigmatic beauty,a large cat,tombs,treasure and you are well on the way to a fun-filled adventure...

5.0 out of 5 stars Amelia Wanabe, 25 Aug 2002
This review is from: The Snake, the Crocodile and the Dog (Hardcover)
This was the first Amelia Peabody Emerson book I read. Since then I have read the entire series several times and am well and truly hooked. They are such involving characters you easily get pulled into the family. You get to know them really well and in this story you become concerned with the dynamic duo and there future together, and of course Ramses adds the his usually comic aspect, and it has very good twist at the end. It has the best ending I have read in quite a while, but then that is usual for Elizabeth Peters. It is very good reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars 7th in the amelia peabody series, 7 Jan 2007
By Roman Clodia (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Snake, the Crocodile and the Dog (Paperback)
... and the one where Amelia and Emerson go off for a second honeymoon in Egypt. It lost a star from me because of the minor role Ramses gets to play and he's my favourite Emerson! But the plot between Amelia and Emerson is great!
