Naked Once More by Barbara Mertz, Elizabeth Peters
4.0
Not as good as Elizabeth Peters’ Amelia Peabody books, but an intriguing mystery that kept me in suspense until the end. I guessed a few parts, but not all. Tongue in cheek delivery of the denouement. The lead character is a strong, intelligent woman but sarcastic, not necessarily funny. I didn’t really warm up to her enough to want to read the other books in the series.
Aficionados of the Bronte sisters will enjoy the references to their writing, especially their early works. And the opening scene with Jacqueline and her male editor, trading quips about Alcott, Ingalls Wilder, and Dickinson is Elizabeth Peters at her priceless best. Erudite, funny, and promoting the charm of being an individual.
