Synopsis
Convinced that the tomb of the little-known king Tutankhamon lies somewhere in the Valley of the Kings, eminent Egyptologist Radcliffe Emerson and his intrepid wife, Amelia Peabody, seem to have hit a wall. Having been banned forever from the East Valley, Emerson, against Amelia's advice, has tried desperately to persuade Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter to relinquish their digging rights. But Emerson's trickery has backfired, and his insistent interest in the site has made his rivals all the more determined to keep the Emerson clan away. Powerless to intervene but determined to stay close to the unattainable tomb, the family returns to Luxor and prepares to continue their dig in the less promising West Valley--and to watch from the sidelines as Carter and Carnarvon "discover" the greatest Egyptian treasure of all time: King Tut's tomb. But before their own excavation can get underway, Emerson and his son, Ramses, find themselves lured into a trap by a strange group of villains ominously demanding "Where is he?" Driven by distress--and, of course, Amelia's insatiable curiosity--the Emersons embark on a quest to uncover who "he" is and why "he" must be found, only to discover that the answer is uncomfortably close to home. Now Amelia must find a way to protect her family--and perhaps even her would-be nemesis--from the sinister forces that will stop at nothing to succeed in the nefarious plot that threatens the peace of the entire region. Filled with heart-stopping suspense, political intrigue, and Amelia Peabody's trademark wit and wisdom, "Tomb of the Golden Bird" is thelatest thrilling installment from the renowned and beloved "grande dame of historical mystery" ("Washington Post")., Convinced that the tomb of the little-known king Tutankhamon lies somewhere in the Valley of the Kings, eminent Egyptologist Radcliffe Emerson and his intrepid wife, Amelia Peabody, seem to have hit a wall.

Book in good condition as described (the package was damaged in shipment and looks like someone cut it with a sharp blade. Only missing a piece off back corner and top corner of last 2 pages - not seller’s fault!) I am very pleased with my purchase - great price, smooth transaction, great communication and fast ship. Recommend this seller to all. Thank you!

A very sad story, but an excellent account of the holocaust. A book I would recommend others to read, particularly since antisemitism is quickly rising in the USA, and around the world. It should be a must read in schools! The transaction was smooth. The book arrived quickly, came as described. and was securely packed. Also, very reasonably priced! Would definitely buy from this seller again! Highly recommend!

  • Tom of the Golden Bird ~Elizabeth Peters~ (2006)

    I have been reading Ms. Peter's mystery novels for about 20 years now! I always enjoy whatever genre she writes about, whether is her famous Amelia Peabody or her adventure fiction and her novels with a supernatural twist. This book was great as usual - but not up to par with other of her Amelia masterpieces. I do like the fact that passage of time is felt thru Amelia's narrative of how her life has evolved. I just think there is an element present in other of her previous books that is not in this one. While I am patiently waiting for the next installment, I find myself hoping to see that missing element back in her books. I cannot deny nevertheless, this novel is fun to read, full of twists, and surprises. Another book recommended for your reading treasure trove, if you haven't read her ...

  • Amelia is at it again!

    I loved the adventures of Amelia Peabody and her family and have read every one of the books. Helped me learn a lot about Egyptian history and the time period that Amelia was living there. Highly recommend this wonderful and well written mystery, suspense and adventure series. Yet this book left me feeling as if author was ending the series. She took many of the characters and gave them different directions. I liked the suspense and thrilling adventures and hate to see it end, but I guess all good things come to an end. YES do read this, you will want to know what happens to the family and friends of the Emersons. I have read some of the other Peters books and none compare to this series, it must have been her favorite.

  • toomb of the golden bird

    this is one of the latest in elizabeth peters' "amelia peabody" series, which started in the late 1800's and is now taking place after world war 1 in egypt, as usual. i've been reading her for years and enjoy it more and more. it's been a great journey seeing how the world and its atitudes have changed ovr a period of 30+ years from a strong woman's viewpoint. and if you enjoy archeology/egyptology at all, it's a bonus for you as well. am eagerly looking forward to this series continuing for many years to come.

  • Great series! I love Amelia Peabody

    This is another adventure of Amelia Peabody & her entire family. Wonderful happenings, one right after another, very compelling. I have a hard time not finishing Elizabeth Peters books too fast, sending me looking for another to read.
