"I love Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody series but have read or listened to all but the last book so I decided to try the Vicki Bliss series. I'd listened to one and hadn't really liked it, but decided to give it another chance. I'm glad I did since this book was quite entertaining."

" Liked this one better than the first Vicky Bliss book. Hope that John Smythe makes a reappearance in future books. I love Elizabeth Peters style of writing and can't believe that it has taken me this long to read this series!! "

" #2 for Vicky Bliss--naturally, we want to like Vicky, and a part of us does, but another part of us prefers the short, curvaceous, dark-haired Amelia.... "
— Lucy, 2/5/2014 -
" Much better than the first! "
— Patti, 2/3/2014 -
" A great mystery that was much more action-packed and interesting than the first one in this series. However, I don't think I could classify it as "amazing" so no 5/5. "
— Vi, 2/2/2014 -
" A quick and fun read. "
— Aelliana, 1/14/2014 -
" Dire. Vicky Bliss came across as a whining idiot and the plot was mainly driven my her doing stupid things. "
— JackieB, 1/10/2014 -
" A book for those nostalgic for Rider Haggard novels. A fun read, but not the best of the Vicky Bliss series. It does have some good throw-away lines. "
— Robin, 1/4/2014 -
" John Smith did you say your name was? Vain, cowardly, thief who's way over his head dealing with some pretty nasty characters? I may just have to stick around for the next five books. "
— Katie, 12/31/2013 -
" Ah, that's more like it. A great improvement over the first book. Definitely meant to be taken lightly with enough mystery to keep interest up. "
— Natalie, 12/9/2013 -
" I thought this was dated and silly. "
— Deb, 10/9/2013 -
" another exciting Vicky Bliss mystery "
— Michelle, 9/24/2013 -
" Nice book - light reading. It makes you feel like watching an old episode of Moonlighting with Bruce Willis and Cybil Shepard. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series as the relationship between Vicky and John develops. "
— Kimberly, 9/9/2013 -
" Enter the two best characters in the series: Caesar the dog and John the love interest. "
— Heather, 8/30/2013 -
" Enjoyed Elizabeth Peters' first book Borrower of the Night very much so "borrowed" this audible book from the library. I should have let a little more time go between the two books!!! What happened to Tony? "
— Barbara, 6/13/2013 -
" Very engaging, couldn't put it down from the very first chapter "
— Hannah, 5/23/2013 -
" A bit disappointing after the first in the series. I will hang on and see if ti was simply an aberration. "
— Patty, 4/24/2013 -
" It was OK but I didn't like the ending. "
— Carol, 2/17/2013 -
" I liked this less than the first Vicky Bliss book. Still readable, and I like Vicky herself, but I didn't really warm to John Smythe and a lot of the plot left me rather cold. "
— Kribu, 10/9/2012 -
" I have read this entire series..Just awesome "
— Stacia, 8/4/2012 -
" 4.5 stars. Rounded up for humor. "
— Hilly, 12/30/2011 -
" A fun follow-up to Borrower of the Night, and an enjoyable audio version. The focus is really more on the characters than it is on the mystery, and everything is slightly wacky and over-the-top. Just what I'm looking for in my fluff reading. "
— Jess, 11/9/2011 -
" Did I already mention I love Vicky Bliss? "When I find myself in times of trouble, Vicky Bliss does come to me, speaking words of wisdom....doing a little b&e, save a few lives, and sleep with the hot theif with the heart of gold." (Ms. Peters do you mind if I picture Cary Elwes?) "
— Arlene, 8/31/2011 -
" Definitely like this author and like this character too. "
— Laurel, 8/2/2011 -
" I love these books primarily for the European locations. The humor is also appealing. Cell phones aside, you'd never know that this book was written in 1978. "
— Jeanne, 4/9/2011 -
" Dire. Vicky Bliss came across as a whining idiot and the plot was mainly driven my her doing stupid things. "

" Very engaging, couldn't put it down from the very first chapter "

" Staring to enjoy this author more and more. Very fun read for art historians and lovers of european cities and european lore. "
— Bonnie, 10/23/2010 -
" The appearance of John Smith. If you read other Elizabeth Peters/Barbara Michaels novels, you will notice that John pops into other ones here and there. It's pretty funny "
— Kristina, 9/10/2010 -
" Well, I think I've finished up on this series...too much similarity of plots and predictability of how it's going to turn out. Author has run this character into the ground. "
— Martha, 2/3/2010 -
" It was OK but I didn't like the ending. "
— Carol, 1/11/2010 -
" Set in Rome, the book has the appeal of Italy. I wouldn't mind going back to Italy, but I think I would avoid involving myself in any shady investigations. "
— April, 12/10/2009 -
" John Smith did you say your name was? Vain, cowardly, thief who's way over his head dealing with some pretty nasty characters? I may just have to stick around for the next five books. "
— Katie, 12/9/2009 -
" As with the first book, this second Vicky Bliss book continues to be the Scooby Doo type mystery that is easy to read for some simple reading when you have nothing more important to read. I will probably continue the series, but only when I have nothing else available to read on my list. "
— Chris, 11/6/2009 -
" A great mystery that was much more action-packed and interesting than the first one in this series. However, I don't think I could classify it as "amazing" so no 5/5. "
