Legend in Green Velvet by Elizabeth Peters
3.0
Perfect escape reading. Light hearted but filled with mystery (both historic and contemporary), characters that mock their "stock figure" status, and a romance that never descends into sappiness.
The only drawback in this one? Our hero bears a resemblance to...well, I won't spoil it. But suffice it to say, that if this figure was ever a heartthrob, it was WELL before my time. I wish authors would take note of this trouble. If you compare your hero to a current pin-up or movie star, your future readers (should you be blessed to have them) will be asking, "But WHY is looking like that a good thing? He SO OLD!"
