3.5 stars- I actually listened to the Audio Book and it started out very slow. It took me several tries listening to it to get into it. After the first disc though, i started enjoying it and ended up really liking it. Im going to try the second book and I hope it is a little more polished.
I read this book years ago, but it was definitely time for a re-read. While the Amelia Peabody series seems to get the bulk of the attention with regard to Elizabeth Peters' work, I've always preferred Vicky Bliss, Jacqueline Kirby, and her various other characters.This book, which introduces Vicky ...
This was a decent mystery but I didn't love Vicky the way I love Amelia Peabody. I've heard that the series picks up after this one so I'm definitely up for further reading.
This is the first of the Vicky Bliss series - great narration by Barbara Rosenblat - witty, suspenseful, and a good mix of history. Definitly a good series to recommend.
The story was slow to start, but it got better. Still, I'm glad I started the series with book number two. Would have been nice to have read this before no. 4, since Tony shows up there, but it's not importent for the plot.

Vicky Bliss is a horse of a different color.I enjoyed the mystery of finding the religious artifact but Tony was an a...
★★★½✩ Well narrated by Susan O'Malley, this audiobook by Ms. Peters is a nice little ghost story set in an old German castle with secret passageways, that eventually leads to a séance, then a treasure hunt. I liked the (brilliant) Vicky Bliss and her lover, Tony, well enough; I enjoyed their trying...
This is the first novel in the Vicky Bliss series. The story is set in an old castle in Germany, and spoke of ghosts, betrayal, and a mystery surrounding a lost medieval sculpture. It was really good!
in a sentence or two: Vicky Bliss is hot on the trail for what she hopes to be the missing Riemenschneider art piece. unfortunately, finding it in the seemingly haunted gothic castle might not be as easy as it seems...Vicky is described in the opening chapters as quite the hottie. though, she does n...
Leila at Bookshelves of Doom was reading this one. Looked fun, so I picked it up. It was fun. It’s one of those that if I’m ever in the mood I’ll read another in the series but I don’t feel any particular compulsion to keep going. [Oct. 2008]]Hah! Little did she know...I actually ended up quite addi...
