Book Reviews of Laughter of Dead Kings (Vicky Bliss, No. 6)
Book Review: Yet another winner!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Elizabeth Peters has another winner on her hands!! Vickie is her same, saucy self (yes I know alliteration), John hasn't changed his attitude one bit and Schmidt has a secret that will take you by surprise. I love the fact that there is a mysterious lady trailing after John and she seems to have three names (two pseudonyms and one real). When they finally meet up it is one of the funniest bits in the book. It was also a pleasure to find out that there is an Emerson/Peabody link in these stories too. I do recommend this one.Book Review: Quintessential Peters
Summary: 5 Stars
In Laughter of Dead Kings, Elizabeth Peter circles the square, squares the circle, and hints at the universal connectedness of all things in the universe of her own creation. This is a wonderful spoof, a grand romp with characters whom we love as much for their imperfections as for their virtues.
Share this book with a friend, a lover (but only if he enjoys his quiche), or your mother, but do NOT share it with your mother-in-law. And remember that, in fiction, it's only the BAD who die young.
Book Review: A delight to be savored
Summary: 5 Stars
When I saw there was going to be a new book in the series I dropped absolutely everything else I was doing an ran - okay drove - to pick this up as fast as I could. I devoured this in less than two nights, and it's just as delicious as all of her other books. I adore John and Vicky and I love Anton even more. He's suave, he's charming, he's a wonderful character and I only wish that Elizabeth Peters could go on writing fifty more novels. Because I'd pick them all up!Book Review: A Great Addition
Summary: 5 Stars
This was one of those books where time stops for a little while and nothing in the world matters as much as King Tut's stolen mummy and the fact that John has been accused of stealing it! Peters' writing hasn't grown stale, and her characters are just as fresh and fun as ever. I really recommend this sixth book in the Vicky Bliss series. For me, it was a keeper.Book Review: A gem like the rest
Summary: 5 Stars
This novel is a gem like all of the other Vicky Bliss books. I really enjoy Vicky's character, as well as John's. As an amateur sleuth, Vicky spends the novel attempting to prove that Sir Smythe is no longer thieving and that someone else is behind the theft of King Tut's mummy.
Fast-paced and really cute.
