Green I have always been a fan of this author but somehow missed this series of his. I didn't read the previous books but was able to jump right in and not get lost. A great supernatural mystery with mummies, archeology intrigue, and rich family tensions.
Ishmael and Penny are there to help sort things out. Fun read! Ishmael is literally out of this world! A who done it story. Easy listening. I enjoyed this book and would recommend the Ishmael Jones Mystery series.
This was an enjoyable listen. There was some light humor and plenty of suspense, I will listen to more by this author. What a great story. So much mystery and unexpected diversion. I put my confidence in Gildart Jackson and will often purchase a book he has narrated without doing much investigation. This series is fabulous and the characters are so well narrated it is in my opinion a master piece.
I enjoyed this book from the very start not the average mystery I loved it. The mysterious Ishmael Jones and partner Penny lead us on an adventure to an isolated castle for an examination of ancient Egyptian artifacts. During their visit, many eerie incidents begin happening. Author Simon R. Green pens a perfectly suspenseful plot, and is paired perfectly with the phenomenal pitch-perfect vocal tones of Gildart Jackson.
I save my credits for more expensive books; worth a credit as well. Highly recommended! Simon R, Green has really done it this time. Perfect Narrator. Amazing Actors. I couldn't put it down, I had to listen all the way through. Thanks again Audible for another introductory free audiobook.
I can't wait to listen to his other audiobooks. Very well written gripping story with many twists and turns accompanied by great narration We get to know a little more about his background. Let's hope for more about his origins. This is my 2nd book in the Ishmael Jones series. Remember Me. Forgot your password? Close Login. Forgot Password. Close Reset Password.

Ishmael Jones and his partner Penny have been summoned to remote Cardavan House, home of the world's largest private collection of Ancient Egyptian artefacts, for the unveiling of George Cardavan's latest acquisition: a bone fide Egyptian mummy. When a bloodstained body is discovered beside the empty sarcophagus, Ishmael is dismissive of the theory that the mummy's curse is to blame. Instead he sets out to uncover the human killer responsible.
But how can Ishmael explain the strange, shuffling footsteps that creep along the corridors? Who is playing games with them Get A Copy. Hardcover , pages.

As much as I liked this series did I feel that this one did not reach the same level as the previous three books.
Honestly, it is starting to feel a bit repeating reading the books, which isn't all that bad since the whole mystery in a house far from everyone is entertaining. But, the problem is when I read this book did it feel like I have already read this story, just with a different kind of setting and motive for the killing.
But, all the people felt like ones I read about before, just diffe As much as I liked this series did I feel that this one did not reach the same level as the previous three books. But, all the people felt like ones I read about before, just different names, no point in getting attached since few of them will probably survive.
This time is it the Colonel's family that is getting into the problem. Well, the new Colonel since the previous one died in the first book.
This could be why it felt so familiar since Ishmael was invited to the Colonel's family in the first book as well because of some danger threatening the family, However, there are things I liked about the book, like Penny's love for mummy movies I love the Mummy movies with Brendan Fraser too and her comments about shuffling footsteps in the corridors were amusing. Unfortunately, that was pretty much the only amusing comments in the book.
I would have loved some more banter between Ishmael and Penny. It was also interesting to get some more information about Ishmael's past. Death Shall Come is not a bad book. Just not my favorite in the series and I hoped the next one will be a lot better! I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a free copy through NetGalley for an honest review! Mar 03, Karl marked it as to-read Shelves: books-bought. I've read a few of these all back to front so know more about Ishmael that I probably would have done reading in order.
I don't think it makes too much difference though, all these stories seems to work well as stand alones' as well as a series. This one is an entertaining story of a missing mummy along with a dead body in a stately home. I like Ishmael as a character and the back story of how he came to be where is now. These books are always a quick read but they do contain a really good stor I've read a few of these all back to front so know more about Ishmael that I probably would have done reading in order.
These books are always a quick read but they do contain a really good story. The author makes good use of his word count. Looking forward to reading the rest Aug 19, Juli rated it really liked it Shelves: read-review-copies The Cardavan family has the largest collection of Egyptian antiquities in the world. Held under tight security, the collection has a new exhibit -- the mummy of Cleopatra. Not the Cleopatra of Marc Anthony fame Ishmael's boss, The Colonel, is married to Chloe Cardavan.
He asks Ishmael to accompany him to the house for the unveiling of the mummy. The trip isn't because The Colonel believes in the curse attached to the mummy, but because he feels George Cardavan might be involved in underhanded dealings to acquire his antiquities.
He wants Ishmael to pose as an antiquities expert so he can get a feel for the goings on at the family estate and protect the family from harm if George is in over his head. After the mummy is revealed, the deaths start. The Cardavans are being picked off, one by one. Are they being stalked by a reanimated mummy? Or is the killer simply a crazed human being? I love this series! Every book is seriously creepy and different enough to keep the adventures fresh and interesting.
Death Shall Come is a quick read at just over pages -- but Simon R. Green sure packs a lot of action into such few pages! I like how Ishmael and Penny work so well together. Where one is weak, the other is strong. Penny isn't afraid of Ishmael's I liked the plot of this book -- who doesn't love a scary mummy tale? I'm glad I read this during the day time and not at night! Lots of action, suspense and horror This series has not disappointed me yet!
Simon R. All opinions expressed are entirely my own. View all 4 comments. Dec 07, Sue rated it really liked it Shelves: mystery , net-galley , paranormal-or-ghost-stories , britain. This is my second Simon Green novel in the Ishmael Jones series though the 4th actual book written in the series. I enjoyed this outing just as much as the first though I know more about Ishmael now so there are fewer surprises as to his skills or behaviors.
This time he is working directly for the man who usually gives him his assignments from the Organization, the Colonel.
Oh, and did I mention there are ancient Egyptian artifacts, including a recently acquired mummy method of acquisition not known and presence not known by anyone but the family. Ishmael is as puzzled as everyone else when bad things begin happening. The fun here is watching everything laid out, the setting, the house itself, the various family members and their relationships with each other, and the subtle effects of the action on Ishmael and his partner Penny.
I found myself reading quickly to the end, wanting to know what happened and how and who was involved. All was answered in the end. A recommended read in lighter mystery, with many overtones and elements of sci fi. A copy of this book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley in return for an honest review.

I haven't listening nor read to any other books on the series but I absolutely loved this graphic audiobook experience. It was fun, entertaining and at parts put me on my edge of the seat.
I loved both the "good" characters and their back story but also loved to hate the evil one. Was so entertaining to listen to and root for the good guys as the evil character where one of the better ones I've read.
A true good enemy to hope to success of the good versus evil. Will absolutely with no hesitation I haven't listening nor read to any other books on the series but I absolutely loved this graphic audiobook experience.
Will absolutely with no hesitation listen to more in the series even though I don't know if I want to start from the beginning or continue from where I am now because I so wanna see how the story of the main characters will develop This is the fourth book in the Ishmael Jones series of mysteries.
I just listened to the fifth book yesterday. The plots of these two books were almost identical. Nevertheless, I like these stories, primarily because the main characters are quite appealing, albeit quirky. The books are narrated by one of my favorite narrators, Gildart Jackson, which is why I tried them in the first place. They are available to Audible subscribers at no cost via the Plus Catalog. In his ship crashed in rural Britain, and he was transformed into a human form, while maintaining his exceptional powers and skills.
His tenure is seemingly endless, while the humans he encounters of course age and die. In this series, he has partnered with Penny Belfour, after her family and family home were attacked by a vampire. The Organization, which contracts Ishmael, is shadowy and beyond covert.
