Borrower of the Night by Elizabeth Peters

3.0

Art historians spending their summer in search of lost, medieval masterpieces?
Count me in.

The idea of history professors in a relationship and choosing to explore Europe for the summer definitely appeals to my romantic, history-loving heart.

References and allusions to historical figures and places inspired me.
*currently planning a trip to Rothenburg, Germany*

After finishing:

Hhhhhmmmmmm

Hhmmm...

The setup was excellent, but the execution, characters, and plot were too cozy in place of dynamic. The author was trying to write a *don’t need no man* main female character and she succeeded there but there was literally no depth to any of the characters or the plot. Very surface-level writing and mystery setup. I did love the historical significance however!
