"Lots of familiar faces in this one, and a few new ones I hope to see again, with a more complex plot and much higher stakes. I really do adore Schmidt, and John continues to shine, in all his tarnished glory. Vicky's relationships with them--and their relationship with each other--are stellar."

Night Train to Memphis Listener Reviews

" Fabulous book!!! I didn't think Elizabeth Peters would be able to top Trojan Gold, but this is flawless. Everything from Feisal to the return of the gang from Silhouette in Scarlet. I love the part where Vicky confesses her love for John while she's locked in a wardrobe. "
— Jodi, 2/11/2014 -
" I always felt like Elizabeth Peters was cheating with this one - taking Vicky Bliss to Egypt, the same location as the Amelia Peabody series. Of course, this leads to plenty of insider references to Amelia & Co., dramatic settings (and escapes), the required injuries to long-suffering John, and the usual madcap adventures and art-related crimes. Fun and entertaining, like the rest of the series. No need to read them in order - she always catches you up. "

" I think this is my favorite Vicky Bliss, but I have to say that my favorite character in the series is is Schmidt- he is great! "
— Ann, 2/6/2014 -
" I really like Vicki as a character. So different from Amelia Peabody. This is the first book I read of the series (I wish they put numbers on the covers!), but I enjoyed it enough to want to read the rest. "
— A., 2/2/2014 -
" My guilty pleasure and ultimately my favorite in the Vicky Bliss series. "
— J, 2/1/2014 -
" Started with this one and worked my way back -- It has been my one exception to the rule of read a series in order written. "
— Knotoknow, 1/25/2014 -
" 4 stars. The humor is offset by the angst. "
— Hilly, 1/12/2014 -
" At this point, Vicky should know better. But being in love with someone like John could drive anyone insane. "
— Katie, 1/10/2014 -
" Thought this book's another failure compared to Peabody's. Having a lover like John Smythe is cool! "
— Xerxes, 12/23/2013 -
" talk about a page-turner! "
— Helen, 12/1/2013 -
" This has to be one of my fav romance/mystery series. this is my personal favorite of the whole group. "
— Rns, 11/21/2013 -
" Unfortunately I didn't read the Bliss books in order, but regardless, this has been my favorite. A really fun story with laugh-out-loud lines. Great stuff from Peters. "
— Kimberly, 11/20/2013 -
" I adore the Vicky Bliss series, lighthearted nonsense with great characters. This is my favourite of all of them and sees the hero come good ... at long last. "

" This book makes it clear that what Peters writes best about (and clearly loves to write about most) is Egypt. Vicky Bliss is a fun character but this one dragged for me. Makes a great beach read. "
— Trude, 8/24/2013 -
" Meh. Liked her Amelia Peabody mystery much better. "
— Hannah, 8/18/2013 -
" i found the constantpoking fun at the romance genre, which she really wasn't rising above, a bit distracting "
— Colleen, 2/19/2013 -
" I enjoyed the story but not terribly challenging. I enjoy Elizabeth Peter's Amelia Peabody stories much better than the Vicky Bliss ones. "
— Emilie, 1/15/2013 -
" Vicky Bliss mysteries. . . Like a comforting, humorous blanket. "
— Jessica, 9/25/2012 -
" Not quite as good as some of her other novels, it was harder for me to get into these characters and I didn't care for Vicky as much as I like Amelia Peabody. I'm not really sure what the difference is either. Oh, well I guess I can't always like everything an favored author has written. "
— Sarra, 8/23/2012 -
" Was not my cup of tea. "
— Geri, 6/5/2012 -
" I think this one might be the best Vicky. I would probably like it even more if I understood all the country music references! I just love the characters--especially Schmidt. A lot of fun. "
— Andrea, 4/7/2012 -
" Even though I thoroughly enjoyed it and will want to read it again, the fact that I read it late at night in about 4 hours means that my ability to judge its quality is not quite on. It was, however, a fun read all around. This may get upgraded. "
— Sam, 1/31/2012 -
" Love Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody series set in Victorian times. This is more in the style of her Barbara Michaels persona as it has more romance, murder, violence etc. I enjoyed it, but not one of her greatest!! "
