About this listen
In London, someone impersonating David is peddling high-quality fake antiquities, and soon the Emerson-Peabody home is burglarized. Once in Egypt, trouble only escalates as Amelia becomes a shooter's target, her son Ramses is implicated in a paternity scandal, and an American girl is found dead in the shaft of the pyramid they are excavating. When the family's impetuous ward Nefret disappears and comes back married, it takes all of their upper-crust British restraint to keep familial relations civil.
Grand Master Elizabeth Peters once again delivers the delectable goods we have come to expect: beloved characters, an intriguing mystery, and alluring settings among the ruins. Romance and danger heighten the excitement, as does Barbara Rosenblat's narration, which is nothing short of perfection.

Brilliant
This series is a great mix of soap opera, crime novel, thriller and Egyptology hand book - all wrapped in a dry humour. Fantastic.

The Falcon at the Portal
The storylines are always good and the characters grow and age with each book. I thoroughly enjoy all the Amelia Peabody series and Barbara Rosenblat brings all the characters to life.

Perfect heroine
The Peabody-Emerson saga is superb in every aspect! The audiobook with Barbara Rosenblat’s as a narrator is 5*, she is amazing!

A damed good read.
If you want to loose yourself for whatever reason, then this is not only the book for you. But the series for you. . The historical knowledge is superb.
Egypt come alive you can almost smell & taste the bazaars.
I have read all the books in the series. I am on my second reading of said series It is still as wonderful as the first time. You can't get fed up with the characters there just so real. I feel as if they are old friends to be visited time and time again.

Pivotal in the series. 5 ⭐️
I have read all of the Amelia Peabody books and I am enjoying them all again from Audible. This is a pivotal book in the series, at least I think so. I just love listening to Barbara Rosenblat who is a remarkable narrator. She brings Egypt to life but then she had a brilliant book to narrate.
I feel I will have to try a Whiskey and soda... Good Gad! If you’ve listened to one of the books that will make you smile.
I am about to start the next book which I have listed to before...I think it is one of the very best. Quite an interlude from the more up to date books I have been listening to. I keep thinking I’ll have a rest at the end of each book but the Emerson’s and their antics draw me back each time. Very enjoyable.

Best one yet
Barbara Rosenblat should receive every award under the sun for her fabulous reading performances - The Falcon at the Portal is no exception. I also really enjoyed the story line, so much so that I had to google the next book as I almost couldn't cope with the suspense. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Amelia Peabody, my heroine
The humour, the fun, the historical setting, the highly addictive family relationships and the sublime narration. What’s not to love!

fab
Read this series ages ago and had forgotten about it. Delighted
to return to it in audio format. The books are well written, witty
and interesting, sheer escapism, and beautifully read.

Hard work
Although i found this story very interesting, there is something about the narrator that makes this hard to listen to! I love anything related to a eqyptian murder mystery, not 100% sure about this one.
