Borrower of the Night by Elizabeth Peters
3.0
The first in the Vicky Bliss mystery series by the author of the Amelia Peabody mysteries (among others). I believe this was the first book Elizabeth Peters wrote — or was one of the first at the very least — which explains the pacing and how uninteresting parts of the story were. She’s clearly still learning how to write successfully in her own style.
Overall not a bad story. Just a bit slow paced and dull at times (which is kind of sad given that the story dealt with medieval castles, poisoning, hauntings, sleepwalking, gaslighting, and several other normally-fabulous plot points!).
