I enjoyed this second installment of the Vicky Bliss series. On the upside, the setting, the adventure, and the romance were all what I would expect of Elizabeth Peters. On the downside, I found the characters to be a tad underdeveloped, and I had trouble following the mystery elements. But, as usual, I enjoyed being along for the ride, especially in Rome, and Vicky is character I enjoy rooting for. I will definitely continue this series. It is nice to have something light and fun to read that is also well written.
