The ski resort adventures combined with the Bavarian Christmas was fun. This is the first book with a non-European archaeological theme. The next book puts Vicky Bliss in Egypt, where Elizabeth Peters is at her very best. I noticed a few nods to the political and economic situation of the day. One of the characters is an Eastern European professor, Vicky notes that her juvenile relatives will prefer plastic super-heroes made in Taiwan to the beautiful German toys she is looking at. Schmidt, Vicky's superior at the museum, was a teenager during WWII, and has grim memories. ( ) Fire stained the night. The sky above the dying city was an obscene, unnatural crimson, as if the lifeblood of its people were pouring upward from a million wounds. As he fought through the inferno he missed death by inches not once but a dozen times. The conquerors were already in the city. Another enemy army was closing in from the west; but the horde of refugees, of whom he was one, fought their way westward with a desperate, single minded intent. Throughout history, always the barbarian hordes had come from the east. I generally like the Elizabeth Peters' series although i don't like it when sex harassment or sexual assault is passed off as a joke, romance or anything other than what it really is. I really love the Vicky Bliss series! Im sad that there are only 6 novels and Ive already read 4. : ( I thought this was a great story especially John professing his love for Vicky but I didnt quite like the ending regarding the Trojan Gold? It just didnt seem right. I felt like i was left with an incomplete story which we pretty much were. : ( sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:More from Vicky Bliss the new heroine from the creator of the bestselling Amelia Peabody series A picture is worth a thousand words - but the photograph art historian Vicky Bliss has just received gives rise to a thousand questions instead. A quick glance at the blood-stained envelope is all the proof she needs that something is horribly wrong. The photo itself is familiar: a woman adorned in the gold of Troy. Yet this isn't the famous photograph of Frau Schliemann - this photo is contemporary. And the gold, as Vicky and her fellow academics know - disappeared at the end of World War II. And now this circle of experts is gathered for a festive Bavarian Christmas - including a very determined killer. . No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
