Özet

The lethal stuff of legends

For Jessica Tregarth, an unexpected invitation to visit her grandfather in England comes as a wonderful surprise, an opportunity to open doors to a family history that have always been closed to her. But her arrival is greeted by mysterious villains who pursue her through Cornwall, their motive and intentions unknown. Jessica's only clue is an antique heirloom she possesses, an ancient ring that bears the Tregarth family crest. Her only ally is handsome gothic novelist David Randall—her self-proclaimed protector—who appears seemingly out of nowhere to help her solve a five hundred-year-old puzzle.

Something out of the cloudy mists of Arthurian lore has come back to plague a frightened American abroad, and a remarkable truth about a fabled king and a medieval treasure could ultimately make Jess Tregarth very rich—or very dead.

(San Francisco Chronicle)

“Peters really knows how to spin romance and adventure into a mystery.”

(Boston Herald)

Don’t expect Vicky to appear, she doesn’t. The only connection is the appearance of John Smythe, who, the alternate title (“Her Cousin John”) suggests is related to the heroine of this book.

I had to give up listening about half way through. The story seemed to jump around without making much sense and the characters did not come to life. It might be better with another narrator. It all seems at the same pitch with Conlin, loud, abrasive, and rushed. I’ve listened to another of Peters’ books with this narrator and disliked that too. I’ll stick with Barbara Rosenblat in future, or do without.

I cannot recommend this production.

Not a patch on the “real” Vicky Bliss novels.
