The Seventh Sinner

A Jacqueline Kirby Mystery, Book 1

By: Elizabeth Peters

Narrated by: Grace Conlin

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...

just couldn't get into it

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

Fun

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.

Interesting story

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.

Loved it!

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

Fun story, robotic narrator

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.
