Funny and enjoyable.
It was a very pleasant experience to listening to this book. Ms Rosenblat voice caught all Amelia's personality as well as the other characters's. I am looking forward to listening to the second book of the series.

What a Find and a Great Narrator!
Where does Crocodile on the Sandbank rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This audible ranks very high amongst my favourites. It is easy to listen to, a good story and a really great narrator. All combine to make a really worthwhile download. So much so that I have gone on to download more in the series and will be very sorry when I get to the end.
Who was your favorite character and why?
All of the characters were enjoyable, each had their own little touches, but Amelia Peabody is a great character!
What does Barbara Rosenblat bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Barbara Rosenblat is a genius narrator! She really brings each character to life and this makes the stories much richer. All the different characters and accents add to the story.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No, not laugh or cry just smile delightedly from ear to ear!
Any additional comments?
Just great! This narration is what makes audible downloads so fantastic! An makes them enjoyable to listen to again and again.

Good Gad!
Such is the cry of Amelia Peabody Emerson in yet another rip roaring adventure. Elizabeth Peters never fails to deliver a terrific tale of adventure and daring do led by the indomitable 'Peabody'. Great stuff

Excellent !!
I am a huge admirer of the Amelia Peabody books and am very happy to use the credit for the first book in this excellent series. I was already familiar with this particular story but enjoy listening to it now and again; it stirs my interest every time.

Well worth a listen
Delightful writing which conjures up a time not so long ago, and yet so distant now. The mystery aspect was well hidden with subtle hints and twists so I didn’t guess what was going on. (Always a bonus if you are a mystery buff). I look forward to the next one.
