Book Reviews of Night Train to Memphis (Vicky Bliss Mysteries)
Book Review: The Best Book of Elizabeth Peters!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is an amazing mystery. I am a hopelesss romantic, which makes it all the better. But for those of you aren't that into romance, don't worry. It's not only appealing to those of us who feed of romance. It also has a VERY intricate plot that must have used a very tight plot outline. Vicky is a delightful heroine: clever, beautiful, stubborn and perfect for John. John is the romantic crook who is- was- in love with Vicky. Vicky is in love with John and he was supposed to contact her every so often. Vicky is worried or should I say panicked about John; he hasn't contacted her in 6 weeks. Vicky is then asked to go on an Egyptian cruise to discover the criminals involved in a plot that I will not go into. When Vicky sees John on board, she knows instantly who the crooks must be. To her horror, she finds out that John is married to a cute bubbly young woman named Mary. When Vicky's nosy boss, Schmidt joins the cruise, Vicky is very annoyed. Schmidt though, may be more helpful than everyone thinks. I know that I am writing a review, not a summary, so I will go back to that. Schmidt is a lovable old man, a classic character. Vicky, on the other hand, beautiful as she is, actually makes you feel sorry for her for being beautiful. John would be a wonderful character, if it had been told from someone else's point of view. But Vicky is unforgivably furious with him throughout most of the book. Other characters may be much be more than they seem- Feisal, the handsome guide, Sweet and Bright, who Vicky discovers are her security, the unsociable German urologist. I am not in any way saying that these characters are necessarily special, for indeed some of them are not and others that are not mentioned definitely are very evil or very good. You would never guess who they are until Elizabeth Peters reveals it- Vicky's impressions are so fixed. Anyhow, all I'm saying is if you don't read this thriller, you're missing out on one of the greatest books of all time. Ages 13+ up
Summary of Night Train to Memphis (Vicky Bliss Mysteries)
An assistant curator of Munich's National Museum, Vicky Bliss is no expert on Egypt, but she does have a Ph.D. in solving crimes. So when an intelligence agency offers her a luxury Nile cruise if she'll help solve a murder and stop a heist of Egyptian antiquities, all 5'11" of her takes the plunge. Vicky suspects the authorities really want her to lead them to her missing lover, the art thief and master of disguises she knows only as "Sir John Smythe." And right in the shadow of the Sphinx she spots him. . . with his new flame. Vicky is so furious at this romantic stab-in-the-back, not to mention the sudden arrival of her meddling boss, Herr Dr. Schmidt, that she may overlook a danger as old as the pharaohs and as unchanging. . . a criminal who hides behind a mask of charm while moving in for the kill.Literature & Fiction Books
