Publisher Description

Adventure and romance enter Vicky Bliss' life in the form of a black-and-white photograph of a woman covered from head to toe in gold jewels. This "Trojan Gold" has an intriguing history, but it is the envelope that piques Vicky's curiosity. It is a grimy brown, with no return address, and it appears to have been soaked in blood.

"Another Vicky Bliss mystery. Fun, action, German culture, murder, mayhem, intrigue. Am quite enjoying this respite from more serious reading. My book club just happens to be choosing books that I've already read, so am taking advantage of the free time, to read with frivolity, while at the same time actually reading some serious Old Testament (also, murder, mayhem, intrigue!)"

    " I am an ardent fan of Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody series, but I don't remember reading any novels featuring Vicky Bliss before. On the down side, this isn't the first book in the series, so there seemed to be a great deal of backstory that I've missed. On the up side, the book made me laugh in several places. It is a mystery-adventure, and there is murder and mayhem, but there's farce too. A nice escape! "

    " Vicky Bliss is back in action--this time she doesn't even have to leave Germany. She gets a picture in the mail that looks very much like the famous photograph of Frau Schliemann wearing the Trojan Gold. But it is another woman, and this gets Vicky to thinking that the long missing Trojan gold might be found. Of course, John Smythe is on hand for love and adventure. A good entry in the series. "

    " A good story with lots of interesting characters, many of whom have been introduced in past novels. I do enjoy to learn more about the characters. Like catching up with old friends. "

    " I love this book. Ultimate comfort reading. Yes, the real gold was "re-discovered" in Moscow in 1993, but I like Elizabeth Peters' explanation better. Nobody does archaeological/art-historical derring-do and intrigue more convincingly, romantically and thrillingly. Perfect, sublime comfort reading. "

    " Ms. Peters, I am not tall, bosomy or blond, but if they make a movie I want to play Vicky. So I can really kiss Cary Elwes who will play Lord John. 'kay? "

    " I am always stuck trying to decide if this is my favorite Vicky Bliss story, or if it comes in second. The plot is light and lags in places, but the dialogue and situations from our heroine are great reads. Highly recommended. "

    " So I read this several years ago, and now I listened to the recording of it. The narrator is FABULOUS--she had to do German, British, American, and French accents, and they were brilliant! The story was good, of course--set in Munich about Vicky Bliss. "
