The Seventh Sinner

The Jacqueline Kirby Mysteries, Book 1

By: Elizabeth Peters

Narrated by: Grace Conlin

For vibrant, lovely Jean Suttman, the fellowship to study in Rome was the culmination of her dreams, until she undertook an innocent expedition to the ancient Temple of Mithra. From the moment she stepped into the pagan darkness and discovered the corpse of 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.

Mispronounced

Rothenburg, where this book took place, was mispronounced!!! It amazes me that this can actually happen and no one catches the error. I couldn’t listen to the entire book.

has potential

story premise is great. loved the details of Rome. the way the plot was laid out was flat. would have benefited from better character development. did not find a primary character. discovering dead friend scene was flat without suspense.

Fun, Slightly Disturbing Mystery

Whizzed right thru the adventure. Easy to follow. I had to roll my eyes to some outdated stereotyping. Other than that, I dreamt I was on the Roman quest.

Groovy time 4 a historical murder

enjoyed the plot and characters bringing surprises and history to life. bones crypts and saints

A Clever Mystery

This story is told without Jacquelyn Kirby 's POV. She is only on the sidelines.
