[Read by Susan O'Malley] Victorian gentlewoman Amelia Peabody Emerson and her archaeologist husband are busy raising their young son; yet Amelia dreams only of the dust and detritus of ancient civilizations. Happily, circumstances are about to demand their immediate presence in Egypt. Sir Henry Baskerville had just discovered a tomb in Luxor when he promptly died under bizarre circumstances. The tabloids scream of The Curse of the Pharaohs! Amelia and her husband arrive to find the camp in disarray and the workers terrified. A ghost even appears. It is not at all what Amelia considers an atmosphere conducive to scientific discovery. Thus the indomitable Victorian sets about bringing order to chaos and herself close to danger. How Amelia triumphs over evil and those who would stand between her and her beloved antiquities makes for a delightfully spirited adventure.

The reader steps into the shoes of Amelia Emerson, a strong headed and opinionated woman, and experiences the feelings and emotions of a mother, wife and pleasantly arrogant woman. I really enjoyed hearing her descriptions of her husband Radcliffe as well as her motherly feelings and views towards her son, Ramses.The story begins in England at the Radcliffe household, and the reader gets a quick introduction to the Emersons' personalities, and their passion for Egyptology. When the opportunity comes they are somewhat hesitant but ultimately excited to accept a job to excavate an unopened tomb in the escarpments of Egypt, that has been causing controversy in the press for some time. This tomb is rumored to be cursed and possess spirits that protect the treasures within. The initial archeologist, Lord Baskerville, who had been previously working the excavation, experienced a suspicious death and his assistant mysteriously disappeared. Undeterred by the myths the Emersons proceed on the trip in search for science, ancient pharaohs and hidden treasure.When the couple arrive in Egypt, they are immediately faced with puzzling confrontations and threats that build on the suspense of the curse. Immediately Mrs.
