Just finished "Borrower of the Night", by Elizabeth Peters. This is the first book in her "Vicky Bliss" series, about a historian who investigates mysteries. The "Amelia Peabody" series by the same author are among my favourites, so I was looking forward to reading this series, and I wasn't disappointed. Excellent writing with an enjoyable touch of humour. Looking forward to reading the remaining books in the series. Highly recommended!
The plot: Vicki and her arrogant male colleague, Tony, get drawn into a search to locate a lost masterpiece by a 16th century sculptor which they believe may be hidden in a (fictitious) castle in the (real) German town of Rothenburg. Numerous adventures ensue!
