A review by kmthomas06
Borrower of the Night by Elizabeth Peters

3.0

I always enjoy Peters' narrative voice. Her heroines are always smart, sassy and not afraid to show the men in their lives who's boss. This is the first of the Vicky Bliss mysteries and while I enjoyed, I think Amelia Peabody will remain my favorite for the moment. I think it may have been the plot of this novel, I am not terribly interested in crumbling German castles and shrines created by an artist I've never heard of, but I also wasn't very engaged with the heroine enough to care what happens to her next. That said, I did read the book in a couple of hours so I was obviously entertained and if another Vicky Bliss mystery comes my way, I will probably enjoy reading that one as well.
