Street of the Five Moons

The Second Vicky Bliss Mystery

By: Elizabeth Peters

Narrated by: Barbara Rosenblat

Vicky Bliss, a brain with a body like a centerfold, often has a tough time getting people to take her seriously. But when it comes to medieval history, this blonde beauty knows her stuff—and she's a master at solving mysteries that would turn the art world upside down.

Vicky gasped at the sight of the exquisite gold pendant her boss at Munich's National Museum held in his hand. The Charlemagne talisman replica, along with a note in hieroglyphs, was found sewn into the suit pocket of an unidentified man found dead in an alley.

Vicky vows to find the master craftsman who created it.

Now this is where the series startes to take off

Here we have the introduction of John?s character, and the beginning of the best part of the series. It is such a great listen to, and one cannot help buy want to travel to Germany afterwards. More Nancy Drew style mysteries that are repeat listens!

Cute

Cute story. I accidentally read this one before book one so now backtracking. Lots of action and cozy mystery happenings

Old favorite, better in print

This novel is an old favorite of mine, and I've listened to two different audio versions of it (including this one).... neither of which is nearly as good as just reading it yourself.

Educational, witty , captivating

I did not enjoy this narrator as well as the one in book one. She takes too many big breaths. Also her voice is older than the character

Always excellent

This is one of the best Elizabeth Peter’s series in my opinion. The anti hero is ludicrous and yet appealing and the heroine is not a vapid fool so that a positive as well. Just entertaining all around. Her farcical side characters are so funny you’ll find yourself chuckling at their antics.
