A review by holtfan
Summer of the Dragon by Elizabeth Peters
4.0
It is hard to believe this is a full length novel---the plot almost doesn't seem sufficient for one. The villain was super obvious. And the threats and antics only just appear to start up before everything wraps up.
But it was entertaining. The characters are vivid, the setting intriguing, and the romance cliche but appealing. It cuts out all the "fat" of a mystery/adventure story and leaves just the bare bones. But those bones work well.
