The Deeds of the Disturber (by Elizabeth Peters)

THE DEEDS OF THE DISTURBER by Elizabeth Peters (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

“First-rate, densely packed action, fun, and atmosphere.” (Library Journal)

When the body of a night watchman is found sprawled in the shadow of a rare mummy case, panic ensues. No one doubts that the guard’s untimely demise is the work of an ancient curse. No one, that is, except that tart-tongued Victorian Egyptologist, Amelia Peabody.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s Audie®-nominated narrator Susan O’Malley. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“Between Amelia Peabody and Indiana Jones, its Amelia—in wit and daring—by a landslide.” (New York Times Book Review)

When the body of a night watchman is found sprawled in the shadow of a rare Nineteenth Dynasty mummy case, no one doubts that the guard’s untimely demise is the work of an ancient Egyptian curse. No one, that is, except that tart-tongued Victorian Egyptologist, Amelia Peabody, whose remarkable talent for criminal investigation has frustrated villains from London to Cairo. It’s a mystery worthy of Amelia’s superior sleuthing, but can she elude the vile clutches of the real perpetrator long enough to uncover his identity?
