About the Book

Best-selling mystery author Elizabeth Peters has captured the hearts of thousands of readers with her spunky Victorian Egyptologist, Amelia Peabody Emerson. In Seeing a Large Cat, Amelia must ensnare a modern-day killer, a bogus spiritualist, and a predatory debutante in the awesome Valley of the Kings. Someone is sending ominous messages: "Stay away from tomb Twenty-A!" Intrigued, parasol-wielding Amelia won't rest until she finds the forbidden burial site. But when the excavation yields an unusual mummy, she suddenly must protect both her family and the macabre discovery. Her Ph.D. in Egyptology enables Elizabeth Peters to portray a lavishly detailed turn-of-the-century Egypt in her lively tale of crisp wit and shivery suspense. The spirited cast including Amelia, her eccentric family, and an array of international characters bursts into life with Barbara Rosenblat's brilliant narration.

About the Author :
Elizabeth Peters (1927-2013) was a New York Times bestselling author whose novels were often set against historical backdrops. She earned a PhD in Egyptology at the University of Chicago. She also wrote bestselling books under the pseudonym Barbara Michaels. Barbara Rosenblat, one of the most awarded narrators in the business, was selected by AudioFile magazine as one of the Golden Voices of the Twentieth Century. She has received the prestigious Audie Award multiple times and has earned more than fifty AudioFile Earphones Awards. She has also appeared in film, television, and theater, both in London's West End and on Broadway.

Review :

"As usual, Peters' zesty characters...are marvelous, and there's plenty of lively repartee to push the story along. The comedy is great, as well, with Peters knowing precisely how to balance starchy Amelia's officious social respectability with her penchant for meddling in other people's affairs."

-- "Booklist"

"Essential reading from a pro."

-- "Library Journal"

"Peters' fans will relish this latest adventure that explores mysteries of the heart as well as murder."

-- "Publishers Weekly"

"The eccentricities of the Emerson family are lavishly and deliciously presented by narrator Barbara Rosenblat...She delights listeners with the portraits while never allowing them to impede the suspense so carefully woven through the story....Her performance is a pharaoh's treasure."

-- "AudioFile"

"The incomparable Ms. Peters hits an all-time high with the ninth chapter in her exceptionally witty and exciting adventure series. The real joy in this book is the emergence of Ramses as a potential new action hero."

-- "RT Book Reviews (41/2 stars, Top Pick!)"
