Adventure and romance enter Vicky Bliss' life in the form of a black-and-white photograph of a woman covered from head to toe in gold jewels. This "Trojan Gold" has an intriguing history, but it is the envelope that piques Vicky's curiosity. It is a grimy brown, with no return address, and it appears to have been soaked in blood.Don't miss any of the mysteries in the Vicky Bliss series.©1987 Elizabeth Peters (P)2004 Recorded Books Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction Witty

This is a series about Vicky who is a trouble-prone art historian and John the art theft who keeps getting Vicky out of trouble. In this installment, Vicky and her boss, Anton Schmidt, are looking for the legendary gold of Troy. I think this is the best book in the series, because it really does portrait the cold war accurately. Trojan Gold took me back to a Reagan world. It was a fun visit, but I am so glad it is gone. Schmidt is also a central character in this book. And I am so glad he is, because he is the best part of this series. Barbara Rosenblat is always wonderful!

Elizabeth Peters was a master at romantic suspense with irreverent humor thrown in. Barbara Rosenblat acts out the story with panache as usual. She does wonderful accents and tone of voice that suits the characters. I, personally, enjoy her German accents. Very authentic.
Vicky Bliss is a great character. Smart, warm-hearted, clever, pragmatic as well as a romantic. And tall! To many female characters are petite. Being a tall woman, I appreciate Vicky. Her love affair with Sir John Smythe develops further and they are so good together. Peters manages to convey their passion and affection for each other without going into a lot of details. I’m a little in love with him myself. Great dialogue, beautiful locations, and fun mystery.

Peters and Rosenblat. Magic together!

Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody series is my favorite; however, the Vicky Bliss series is very good also. I especially liked Tojan Gold because it best features Vicky's boss, Herr Professor Schmidt, a truly hilarious character that needs to be featured more often.

If you could sum up Trojan Gold in three words, what would they be?

Suspenseful, humorous, romantic

Who was your favorite character and why?

Professor Schmidt - someone I would like to know in real life.

What about Barbara Rosenblat’s performance did you like?

She has the wonderful ability with her voice to keep the characters straight in the listener's mind even if she doesn't say who is speaking.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

I have listened to alot of Elizabeth Peters books, especially the Amelia Peabody Emerson series. A couple of Peters' books in the Vickie Bliss series are read by another narrator and just don't "cut the mustard"! Too bad - I've missed out on Vickie's adventures!

Peters & Rosenblat - winners!

I adore all the Vicky Bliss novels! This one is a bit more like a comedy of errors (as Vicky herself narrates) than typical mystery. Perfect for listening to during my daily commute.

Fantastically Mindless Caper
