A review by bookhero6
The Copenhagen Connection by Elizabeth Peters
4.0
My 125th book of the year, which completes this year's goal. Yay!
I think I read in another review of a different Elizabeth Peters book (Die for Love?) about how awful it was that Elizabeth Peters was making fun of the Romance genre so blatantly in the book. The reviewer seemed to take it amiss. Well, I've read a few of Peters' books and she makes fun of a lot of different genres. In this one she blatantly pokes fun at Mystery novel tropes, Mystery novels being something she's a bit famed for. So I really don't think it comes from a place of derision, more of a place of poking fun at oneself. I think it's just part of who she is as a writer. She has a wickedly wonderful sense of humor.
In this madcap little adventure mystery Elizabeth and Christian try to figure out what happened to Christian's missing mother and why the supposed kidnappers want her bathrobe as ransom. They galavant all over Copenhagen and unravel the mystery. Totally dig it.
