The Dead Sea cipher by Elizabeth Peters

The Dead Sea cipher

*****

Yet another standalone Elizabeth Peters with an archaeological subject. Great sense of place if a little implausible by the end. I should probably not be reading all these so close together – they’re getting a bit predictable in their unpredictability.

The Copenhagen connection by Elizabeth Peters

The Copenhagen connection

****

You can tell how much I like Elizabeth Peters from the fact I am reading this in Large Print from the library. Yuck! Anyway, another solid performance. A standalone set in Copenhagen, theres some historical background, a silly girl and an emotionally conflicted man. A Mary-Sue of a writer character strained my patience but the rest is good.

The jackal’s head by Elizabeth Peters

The jackal's head

****

Typical Elizabeth Peters standalone mystery book. Reliably entertaining, well-written and slightly brain-stretching in places. I’m starting to get a feel for how these all work out now, but even so its still a good read.
