Book Reviews of Laughter of Dead Kings (Vicky Bliss, No. 6)
Book Review: Very Disappointing!
Summary: 1 Stars
Laughter of Dead Kings (Vicky Bliss, No. 6) I have been a staunch fan of Elizabeth Peters, enjoying the escapades of Amelia Peabody, Vicky Bliss and her other feminine characters. I was very surprised to see a new book about Vicky, who has been one of my favorite characters because I, too, am a six foot blonde with brains! I made it through about 3/4 of this book and put it down trying to decide why on earth I was continuing to attempt to read it. Peters should have left Vicky in Europe in her forte of art history. Also, as a physical comparable to Vicky, I have never ever felt large and awkward with small, petite women and resent Peters' innuendoes that Vicky is uncomfortable with her size. She makes Vicky appear as a bumbling, inarticulate fool who is suppose to be a beautiful, smart, sexy lady with a PhD in art history! The only thing you get about Vicky is that all she wants to do is eat and wonder what is going on! I am very glad I checked this book out from the library and did not waste my money on it. Come on MPM, you can do better - we all expect it from you!
