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.… (mere)

i found the constantpoking fun at the romance genre, which she really wasn't rising above, a bit distracting (

In which true love triumphs with dollops of sentiment and worse, but Schmidt manages to contribute some comic relief. Typical Peters plot, with people breaking in and out of a guarded building, and a large cast of characters, almost none of whom are who they appear to be. Set in Egypt instead of Europe; there are a number of references to Amelia Peabody, who is an historical figure in the book's world. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of the history or archaeology that make the Peabody novels rather interesting as well as entertaining. (

A second reading gives me the chance to kick up the star level on this book. (

Oh 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. (

I 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. (

"The shorts are out. Your knees aren't knobby enough."
"You might have expressed it in more flattering terms," I said.
"Your legs, my darling, are masterpieces of sculptural elegance," John said agreeably. "Those appendages would grace an Aphrodite or a young Diana. Never could such marvels of slender rounded beauty be taken for those of a man. Your form, in short, is rare and divine."
"'Philadelphia Lawyer'," I said.
John raised one finger and made an invisible mark on the air. "One point for you."
