About this listen

For vibrant, lovely Jean Suttman, the fellowship to study in Rome was the culmination of all her dreams, until she undertook an innocent expedition to the ancient subterranean Temple of Mithra.

From the moment she stepped into the pagan darkness and discovered the corpse of the repulsive Albert, one of her fellow students, she was afraid. Not even the comforting presence of the perceptive and practical Jacqueline Kirby could erase the fear that was nourished by one small accident after another. "Accidents" that came dreadfully close to killing her.

Someone was stalking Jean, someone ruthless and determined. Before long she could see no chance of rescue from the ever-present terror...no hope of escape...nothing but death...

I made no connection with the characters. The point of the story eluded me.

just couldn't get into it

Great story, interesting characters, fantastic location (locations!). And mostly, the narrator did an excellent job!

Loved it!

Rollicking fun whodunnit! It would be much improved with a more skilled narrator. It's hard to tell the difference between the two main women characters, and the Irish accent of another doesn't quite work. Still, all in all, a fun listen.

Fun story, robotic narrator

A fun romp from Ms Peters with the usual dollop of history. I enjoyed it very much. I also enjoyed Grace Colin's narration. She does a fine Jacqueline Kirby. A nice little mystery with an ending I didn't guess as well.

Fun

I enjoyed this story and all the interesting information that it contained. Well developed characters and believable story and the background information truly fleshed out the whole.

Interesting story

She tries to do voices for all the characters which I generally prefer, but her accents are truly terrible. Seems weird to be a narrator if you can’t do even a British accent

Love these books but narrator isn’t good

Mispronunciations drive me mad. Monotonous. Not wonderful voices. On the other hand, the story and writing are lovely

Conlin is a mediocre voice artist. I have Naked Once More with Conlin and another version narrated by Barbara Rosenblat - Rosenblat is soooo superior. Would love hear this with Rosenblat

Narrator sub par

This book is a wonderful read/listen. Good story, good characters, and marvelous narration. I highly recommend this and all others of Elizabeth Peters.

Wonderful.

I love all Elizabeth Peters books, and I have thoroughly enjoyed both the Amelia Peabody & Vicki Bliss series(read by Barbara Rosenblat). I have to say the "performance" on this one left me cold. It wasn't performed, merely read in a flat, uninteresting voice, with very little on the way of emotion, voices or interest in the story. If the rest of the series is read by this same person, I may not go on. It's just too boring.

Disappointing.

I loved the story and it definitely kept my attention.
I couldn’t warm to the narration, however. It wasn’t bad but there was this haughty tone that carried through each character and that put me off.

Better than expected!
