I did listen to this last year, but unfortunately have very little memory of the plot or how much I liked it. I do think this series has got a little stale over time, as the characters have grown older, but I still feel very affectionately towards them.

I think my favorite part of this is when Amelia arranges a family meeting with all the chairs lined up in rows and herself behind a desk, and then pretends that it's a totally normal way to have a discussion.

The Emersons do have their fun. A sensationalistic authoress thrusts a priceless Egyptian artifact onto Emerson begging him to remove the curse and destroy the black afrit who killed her wealthy husband and now dogging her path. The whole of Luxor is holding its collective breath waiting for one of Emerson's [in[famous exorcisms as disappearances and beatings occur around them.
Fortunately, David has arrived to protect Ramses' back as the entire family goes on the hunt for the true culprits and all that is missing. Sethos has shown up as well...I do love that man...he has such a wicked sense of humor! I'm beginning to think Sethos finds his family as challenging as his earlier career(s) and wouldn't miss out on their adventures for worlds.
And there is more than one villain after more than one treasure with terrible consequences...lots of setting up here for the future.

I really enjoyed this one. The story was engaging and kept me guessing, the Egyptology was fascinating, and the characters were their likeable selves.
