She writes in a style that is not found often today. She brings the ancient past to life with a quiet dignity, as well as representing the recent past with fairness and integrity. This book is very well written, most entertaining, and of the quality that we have come to expect from Elizabeth Peters. Because of his position in the Valley, and because of the circumstances under which he is allowed there, Emerson is unable to excavate the tomb and finds himself sitting on the sidelines as Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon uncover the greatest discovery in all of Egypt - the almost intact tomb of Tutankhamun. In addition to the mystique that surrounds the Emersons, there is excitement afoot as Emerson finds a step leading down to an undiscovered tomb. Using every skill at her disposal, Ms Peters leads the Reader into the events of 1928 in an Egypt that is experiencing political upheaval. Once again, Elizabeth Peters has succeeded into drawing the Reader into Amelia Peabody Emerson's world. Tomb of the Golden Bird - Elizabeth Peters
