Chronicle During Books Trojan Gold (Vicky Bliss #4)
A Picture Is Worth A Thousand WordsBut the photograph art historian Vicky Bliss has just received gives rise to a thousand questions instead. A quick glance at the blood-stained envelope is all the proof she needs that something is horribly wrong.
The picture itself is familiar: a woman adorned in the gold of Troy. Yet this isn't the famous photograph of Frau Schliemann—no, this picture is contemporary. The gold, as Vicky and her fellow academics know, disappeared at the end of World War II.
Now this circle of experts is gathered for a festive Bavarian Christmas. All of them—including the mysterious John Smythe and a very determined killer...

Vicky and John continue to earn a place on my all-time favorite romantic couple list, quite possibly because they're so NOT romantic. They fight and bicker and pick at each other and neither one really trusts the other, except for when it's life or death (and it always ends up being just that.) Vicky picks up another pet; Schmidt starts to become something more than comic relief; and John continues to show his true colors.Just as entertaining as always! And Barbara Rosenblat is just as fabulous a narrator as always; I don't totally love how she does John, but everyone else is just perfect. I am very much enjoying reading this series again! :)
The first book I've read of the Vicky Bliss series. Started out as a five star read and then slowly went downhill. The interactions between Jack and Vicky are delightful and made me want to go back and read about how they first met, but the other characters are awful. The majority of them are men who are Vicky's colleagues in the art world and all four or five of them are infatuated with her and tend to get handsy. You thought love triangles were bad? Try a love pentagon. Seemed like the author
Our mystery book club members had to read a book that involved treasures stolen from Germany during World War II. I read Elizabeth Peter's book, Trojan Gold. I've never read any of the Vickie Bliss mysteries and this is the fourth in the series. I enjoyed the book, although the fact that every man made a play for her became a bit old. I like my mysteries to be less romantic, although I did really like the character of Sir John (obviously one of his many aliases).****I read up on "Priam's
3.5 starstbh I'll love anything with John and Schmidt (and that L O V E CONFESSION!!) but I feel like it was much more confusing/not as well plotted as TLODK.
Vicky Bliss is my favorite herione of Elizabeth Peter's. It took me a while before I agreed to read this because of my irrational hatred of another character of her's, Amelia Peabody. I love the quick pace of this series and the underlying humor.
Time for a new copy of this book; I have literally read the one I've got into pieces! Man, there are some great bits in this one--the night in the abandoned church, Tony's arrival at Vicky's house, John's confession, Schmidt in a skin tight Santa outfit... It was nice to see Tony back again, and Dieter and Jan are interesting characters as well. I feel like Peters really hit her stride with the series in this book--it's much longer than the previous volumes, as well as much funnier and much more
