A review by holtfan
Borrower of the Night by Elizabeth Peters
4.0
I loved the first chapter of this book. Vicky's introduction, Tony's proposal, the bet...it is good fun and left me chuckling. And I love the end. The conclusion to the bet I didn't see coming because series like this tend to follow a pattern and it didn't occur to me the pattern would deviate.
The mystery itself only gets about 3 stars from me. It was clever and plays off the reader's assumptions nicely, but it was mostly Vicky and Tony stumbling around and then presenting brilliant hypotheses that they pull from dust.
I enjoyed it enough that I definitely want more!
