- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have completely fallen I love with this author and the narrator is absolutely amazing. Her singing of country songs in Schmidt's german accent had me in stitches.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Oh i just love this series & Im so sad there is only 1 more book left in series! The whole series is 5 star & a must read! I cant find one thing that i dont like about it! It has just the right amount of romance, mystery, action, suspense, etc. etc. etc.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really like Vicki as a character. So different from Amelia Peabody. This is the first book I read of the series (I wish they put numbers on the covers!), but I enjoyed it enough to want to read the rest.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Elizabeth Peters spins a fantastic yarn through Egypt on a boat and on land.Along on this journey is Dr. Vicky Bliss an official of the National Museum in Munich, her boss Director Doctor Schmidt and Sir John who was Vicky's boyfriend but he is now married. Vicky is convinced to go undercover on a cruise yo Egypt to prevent and identify a thief. Once convinced on the boat Vicky see's Sir John and his bride, bit Vicky is John's ex love and knows he is a bit of a thief. It seems all things go awry and there is mass confusion when the ship sails. The storyline consists of humor,terrorism,theft,some fun and some romance. My favorite character is Schmidt he was very endearing and smarter than people thought. I plan to read more of the Vicky Bliss books. Bravo Ms PetersThanks to Net Galley and Grand Central Publishing
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Any book by Elizabeth Peters is a treat. For me, she delivers in spades on intelligent suspense, engaging characters, a vivid background and sense of place, a subtle yet powerful sexual connection between the hero and heroine and a great sense of fun. Night Train to Memphis is one of my favourites of her substantial oeuvre.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Like the previous mysteries in the series, this one starts with a good dose of humor and farce mixed into the intrigue. Somewhere in the middle the relationship between John and Vickie starts to become the focus of the story and gains an element of authenticity. I liked the change and felt like it was a satisfying development in the character development. The storyline was fun to read and had plenty of the twists and turns that Ms. Peters is known for.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Night Train to Memphis is probably my favorite Vicky Bliss novel to date, which proves, I suppose, that the series just gets better as time goes on. I love the development of Vicky and John's relationship through all the books, and this one is just as fun and satisfying as the others. I'm not sure if there are any more books planned in this series, but if not I can happy with this book as a conclusion.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The fifth and last (so far) in Elizabeth Peter's Vicky Bliss series. This installment sees Vicky talked into going on a Nile cruise posing as an expert in Egyptian supposedly to identify a thief who is planning to rob the Cairo Museum. Who else could it be but her erstwhile lover John Smythe? There are some excellent surprises in this book. I think it is the best of the Vicky Bliss series. I would highly recommend checking out the audio version narrated by Barbara Rosenblat to hear her doing Schmidt doing country and western songs. For Amelia Peabody fans, there are also some tie-ins with the Emersons.
