About this listen
She's barely off the boat before the chase begins and Jess finds herself playing a deadly game of cat-and-mouse through Cornwall, helped by David Randall, the ingenious author of a series of paperback gothic novels. But even Randall's cleverness may not be enough: the couple doesn't know what the pursuers want...and it is not the obvious.

Amelia Peabody embarks on her first Egyptian adventure armed with unshakable self-confidence, a journal for her thoughts, and, of course, a sturdy umbrella. On her way, she rescues Evelyn Barton-Forbes, who has been "ruined" and abandoned on the streets of Rome by her lover. With a typical disregard for convention, Amelia promptly hires her fellow countrywoman as a companion and takes her to Cairo, where strange visitations and a botched kidnapping convince Amelia that there is a plot afoot to harm Evelyn.

The fiction world of today needs a “Saint” more than it ever did. For years now that scene has been dominated by the “anti-heroes"—those grim gray operators in a sunless sub-culture where global issues are worked out with totally unemotional pragmatism, those hapless uninspired puppets manipulated and expended by ruthlessly dedicated little brothers of Big Brother. It made morbidly fascinating narrative, but it never gave anyone a lift until it climaxed in the hyper-gadgeted parodies of 007 extravaganzas.

In the sleepy Bavarian town of Gesternstadt, gossip was viewed by many as a local sport, a popular hobby, a harmless pastime that showed only the depth and enduring nature of the interest of one neighbour for another. In Gretel’s opinion, however, tittle-tattle sowed the seeds of malice among the fertile soil of jealousy, often watered by the tears of its victims. So it was that upon hearing from brother Hans of the whispers concerning a young woman, a married man and a thwarted lover, Gretel is compelled to rise from her beloved day bed to set things to rights.

A Fun Romp
This is a pleasant little rom-com-mystery, with a nice tour of the English countryside as the main characters alternately flee from and chase the bad guys.
BUT. The narration is almost painful. Conlin's phrasing is awkward; she often sounds unrehearsed, and her English accent and individual character voices are lamentable. I almost gave up halfway through but wanted to find out what happened.
Do yourself a favor and read the print version of this one at the beach.

A Miss for Me
I’m a great fan of Elizabeth Peters and an ardent one of Arthurian tales. This was a hard miss for both. Improbable and repetitive plot with characters that had no depth or interest. The facts about historic relics and places that usually fill her novels were scant. At the core, there remains potential for a good novel, but it was missed here. I don’t think the right narrator was chosen.

Quirky fun for the genre and for being written in
Its the colorful characters that sell it. Such as when Jessica is on a bus, going somewhere in order to get away from her pursuers. The English villagers rally 'round to help her out, even connecting her with a nephew who can drive her back to London (and become the eventual love interest.)
This is very loosely tied to the Vicky Bliss series, as Cousin John is who becomes John "Smythe."
