Publisher Description

A single crimson rose and a plane ticket to Stockholm neatly mailed in a mysterious package sound like the formula for a romantic weekend. And a note in the bottom of the box fuels Vicky’s already insatiable curiosity-it is written in an archaic language even the capable Dr. Bliss cannot decipher. Is she embarking on a journey of romance or something else?

    " Not my favorite of the series but still enjoyable. "

    " I really don't think I want to ready any more books in this little series. This book was EXTREMELY slow in moving. I think it was about pg 160 before I really knew what was going on and before anything happened. The author but a lot of details and facts about stuff in it that never really lead to a story. The so called storyline could have been summed up in a very very few pages. "

    " Dr. Vicky Bliss takes off to Sweden to meet John Smythe and gets dragged into his latest scheme to get a Swedish recluse to let him dig for buried medieval treasures. Of course he is betrayed by his co-conspirators and with the help of Vicky must try and save the day and their own lives. With Vicky there are history and art lessons but the location on a Swedish Island made the book a little less compelling as were the villainous characters. You know too early who the bad guys are it is just a matter of how to outwit and outlast them. "

    " Surprised to say I like Elizabeth Peters' variant style in her Vicky Bliss novels as opposed to her Amelia Peabody ones. Fun, easy read. "

    " Still really liking this series. I love that we get to visit different places in each book. I also love that Vicky isn't so smart and superior that she never gets herself into tight situations, and yet she never acts in a way that makes me wonder how she could be so stupid. Pure enjoyment! "

    " I think I say this after every Vicky Bliss novel, but I really wish she was Amelia Peabody! These books are just ok, never amazing like the Amelias..I just find myself not caring that much about the characters. But, they read quickly and keep you mildly entertained. It also took me an entire day after finishing it to actually understand the title, and I still don't get why there's a cat on the cover. *shrugs* "

    " Nice light reading. Love her writing style. Her books just seem timeless. They could be set in any era. This is the 3rd Vicky Bliss, and there are 3 more to go. I hope Vicky and John resolve their issues by the end. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " Really good plane fare - not too intensive, adventurous and mildly romantic without being too schmaltzy. I wasn't terribly surprised at anything that happened, but I was entertained. "

    " I'm currently listening to the audiobook narrated by Barbara Rosenblat. Love all of the Amelia Peabody books, so I am giving Vicky Bliss a try. Miss the British accent, though! "

    " A reread of an old Peters' mystery. Lots of action, humor and twists and turns and a bit of romance. Involving art history, situated in Sweden. "

    " I was very bored in this book. It took me quite a while to get through it. I thought that the end redeemed it somewhat though. Enjoyed the end enough to find out what happens next. "

    " #3 for Vicky Bliss. Envy over Vicky's stats aside, John Smythe is a lovely man (and there is some talk of his being a descendant of Sethos, our favorite man of mystery and disguise). "

    " I really enjoy Vicki Bliss. This proves that women heroines don't always have to marry the rich man (see my reviews of the Chicklit I have read recently). Vicki is smart, she has the ability to problem solve. She has fun romantic encounters without having to "get married" or "get the man". "

    " A "Vicky Bliss" mystery--I read this on vacation where I didn't want anything too involved and this certainly fit the bill. It was mildly entertaining but I didn't feel like the characters were very well developed. It was fine but nothing moving or meaningful. "

    " This August a new Vicky Bliss book is coming out! This is exciting because she's only been writing Amelia Peabody books for a while. Read this it's quick and fun. "

    " There wasn't much mystery. I didn't get why Vicky attraced men (particularly bad men) the way she does. Character portrayals were two-dimensional at best, and I don't think I'll bother with another one. "
