Laughter of Dead Kings Audiobook

" Not sure if there will be any more books in the series, but I think it would make a nice ending here. I do enjoy the adventures of Vicky, John and Schmidt, but some series tend to drag out far too long. She wrote far more in the Amelia Peabody Emerson series. The references to her in this book make me want to go back and start at the beginning of that one. I just love Peters' sense of humor and the tone of her books. "

" Tried one of this series to see if it is as good as the Amelia Peabody series. Despite the attempt to "tie the two together", it's not. "

" She Certainly saved the best for last. "

" Entertaining if a bit tired. "

" Love it, love it, love it "

" Nowhere near as good as the Amelia Peabody series, but a fun read "

" Not the best Vicky book, but I do love Elizabeth Peters. "

" I think I have read other of Elizabeth Peters' books, but I cannot remember the title. This is a light and entertaining mystery. The story's action occurs primarily in Egypt. Finding the bone-nappers of King Tut defines the plot. I did not guess the villians until they were revealed. "

" Okay, but not one I would recommend. Some portions are rather trite. Some good reminders of my trip to Egypt. Story line is good, too much personal detail of characters for me. "

" Missed this one when it came out, but enjoyed it. I still love Amelia MORE, but Vicky and Schroeder are at the top of my list. Well written, fast paced story with numerous twists and turns to keep you wondering. "

" This is a Vicki Bliss mystery. Vicki's boy friend, Sir John Smythe, is thought to have been the person who stole the mummy of Tutenkamen. Vicki, John, and Vicki's boss Anton Schmidt go to Egypt to try to find the mummy and clear John's name. "

" A fun jaunt, but I like Amelia Peabody better. Who doesn't like mummies??? "

" (will review at later date) "

" Quick read, enjoyable, with in jokes for those who know Amelia Peabody Emerson. "

" This book was really hard for me to stay focused on even though I adored some of the other Vicky Bliss novels. I almost didn't make it all the way through but the last 5 pages or so made it completely worth the effort. As one of my friends also commented: "a good way to close out the series!" "

" Love Vicky so much the time warp was just a small bump in the road as I savored my last encounter with her. However, the entire series would be stellar if modified and rewritten with the end in mind. The first and last books end up being barely related tangents in their current state. "

" An entertaining romp. Peters even adds herself into the mix this time. :) "

" A fitting end to a very silly series - and I mean that in a good way. Brought it on vacation; perfect plane reading. "

" Typical Vicki Bliss...quick read, humor, refers to her other Egyptian series......A quick, entertaining summer read. "

" If you're a Vicky Bliss/John Smythe fan, you won't be disappointed in this book. A great, light read. "

" I love Elizabeth Peters and her characters! "

" This is a typical Elizabeth Peters book--witty lines, great characters, suspense. Very enjoyable. "

" This was a random library book I picked up for some light reading. It was just ok. I've never read other books in the series so I can't comment on that. The writing was fine. The characters were fine. I think I just wasn't so excited about the plot. Or maybe I was just in a mood. "

" These are pleasant, funny mysteries, no incest involved and only one or two dead bodies per book. And there is travel to countries I've always wanted to visit, good reading for another cold, gloomy day. "

" King Tut stolen, modern day Egypt, art historian Vicky Bliss, boyfriend maybe-former art/jewel thief, insane but brilliant Herr Schmidt (Vicky's boss), and modern politics make for an enjoyable mystery. Best in the mystery series! "

" I've read a several of Elizabeth Peters books, but this is not one of my favorites. Decent read and worth the time, but not outstanding. "

" Vicky Bliss's paramour is an Emerson/Peabody descendant! "

" Ehhh. A little slow, not a page turner. It was a little hard to follow the plot as it jumped around. Nothing spectacular. "

" An entertaining mystery. Heard the audio version, and loved the different accents for the characters. "

" Amusing conclusion to the Vicky Bliss series. John is in trouble, trying to prove that he's innocent of a crime that he might have committed earlier in his life. Vicky and friends travel to Egypt to help him prove his innocence. I was amused by the references to Amelia Peabody. "

" What a great gift from Elizabeth Peters to her fans. With hints from her other series, she gave us another glimpse into the life of Vicky Bliss as she travels to Egypt. "

" Entertaining read, not literature but fun. King Tut is on the move... "

" Some nice touches in this book and pulling together of threads but it doesn't have much suspense or impact. But nice to have a last Vicky Bliss book. "
