Luxor Temple, Egypt (Luxor was the ancient city of Thebes).
★★★☆☆ (This is a review of the audiobook.) This one didn’t do it for me. Loved the first one in the series (which I both read and listened to), also narrated by Barbara Rosenblat. However, this one put me to sleep repeatedly - literally! I had to keep starting over and over again. I don’t think it was the narration as much as the storyline. It just didn’t grab me like the first one did. Ms. Rosenblat does a nice job on the various accents and Ramses as a baby, toddler, etc., and gruff Emerson’s bluster. Still. . . I’ll continue with this series, as I love Amelia.
