The snake, the crocodile and the dog Book

This was my first re-read of the 7th entry in the Amelia Peabody series in audio. I didn't remember a lot of the details and thoroughly enjoyed this re-read. The book opens with the Emersons in England, trying to settle Nefret into English society. When Amelia and Emerson eventually head off to Egypt, Nefret (and of course Ramses) decide to stay in England with Walter and Evelyn.

Amelia and Emerson encounter a host of troubles -- and crimes -- while in Egypt, from kidnappings, attempted kidnappings, murders, and numerous threats. All of the threats seem to relate to their last adventure and the wonders they discovered in The Last Camel Died at Noon.

While Ramses and Nefret don't rejoin the Emersons physically, we learn through a series of amusing letters from Ramses that they too are facing a number of threats.

This was absolutely delightful in audio, and I have no doubt but that I will listen to it again at some point.

NOTE: re-listen in May 2019 and I still love it.

NOTE: Re-listen June 2020. Absolutely delightful again, and Ramses' letters, so funny. "It is with rapture unalloyed that I anticipate the joy you will experience when I tell you...."
