Borrower of the Night: The First Vicky Bliss Mystery Audiobook

" I thought the first three pages and last three pages of this book were hilarious. The dialogue was great. The actual mystery was okay. It took a while to get into it, but the end when everything unravels was interesting and I wanted to know who was behind it and how they were going to get out of their predicament. I was interested enough to read the next Vicky Bliss book. "

" Elizabeth Peters is an icon in the world of cozy mystery novels, so every 5 years or so I try another of her books. Somehow I've never been quite able to appreciate them. I find them competent but not engaging. Oh well. "

" I really like this author. The Vicky Bliss character is different than Amelia Peabody, but still has some of the same feistiness that I love. "

" Perhaps a bit dated, but the mystery and suspense is decent and I am a sucker for the art history aspect of this series. Unlikely and sometimes annoyingly self-deprecating heroine- how likely is a blonde bombshell medievalist? "

" I loved the Vicky Bliss series and definately recommend them to anyone who likes action, mystery, and romance! "

" I really like this author! "

" excellent novel with vicki bliss "

" My favorite series by this author. "

" If you love Agatha Christie, you will probably love this too. I cannot but feel closeness to Vicky Bliss, with her saucy ideas and robust passion for life. No nonsense woman, like Peters love them to create, mixed in a haunted castle whodunit, where the mystery lies in present and past. "

" Think mystery theatre dinner, but not as much fun. The book was ok, but never gripped me into wanting to read more. It had an overall pretencious feel to it. I won't be seeking out the rest of the series to read unless it's the last thing available. "

" I love a good mystery, and this is a start to a great series with Vicki Bliss as the main character. "

" The first of the Vicky Bliss series. Our hero, however, does not show up until later.... "

" Not romantic enough for me, compared to Peters' others. ;) "

" A really early work of Peters. Not my favorite character. I prefer Amelia Peabody to Vicky Bliss. "

" I am biased about this book. It wasn't the best book I have ever read, but it was a fun mystery about one of my favorite places. Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany. The book was written in the 70's, so some of the terms are outdated. But it makes me feel like I am there and I love that! "

" The first Vicky Bliss mystery written in 1973. Schmidt's character is not fully outline, but Vicky's pretty much is. She and another academic, Tony, are off to Germany to find the last creation of master wood carver. The story only kept my interest because I like Bliss from other novels. "

" Peabody still my favorite but since I have read all of those at least twice, these are fun. "

" Can you say Scoobie-Doo- Zoinks! "

" I adore the Vicky Bliss books. I wish there were more. "

" Just plain fun. And you'll actually learn a lot (as you always do with her novels) about history - this time it's German/medieval. :) "

" Interesting premise, truly terrible characters. I was rooting for everyone to die at the end. "

" If you love Agatha Christie, you will probably love this too. I cannot but feel closeness to Vicky Bliss, with her saucy ideas and robust passion for life. No nonsense woman, like Peters love them to create, mixed in a haunted castle whodunit, where the mystery lies in present and past. "

" As much as I enjoy the Amelia Peabody series, I thought this one was very slow and plodding. It does not inspire me to try the next one in the series. "

" Read the book predicable "

" Solidly fun reads that are perfect for curl-up on the couch with tea fall reading. "

" It isn't that it was a bad book and the plot was good. I didn't find Vicky as likable as the Emersons. "

" I'm a big fan of the Amelia Peabody books, so I tried this one, but I just had a really hard time getting through most of it. "

" Decent mystery, not as good as the Amelia Peabody series. I have heard this is the worst in the Vicky Bliss series, so I'll give another one a shot before abandoning. "

" Re-reading, not quite as interesting as I'd remembered. Still, an interesting and clever mystery. "

" Not my favourite in the Bliss series but reread it so that I can start the John Smyth and Vicki Bliss ones. Those are great. "

" Pretty fun - on to the rest of the series! "
