    About this ebook

    A strange twist of fate brings Elizabeth Jones face to face with her idol, the brilliant, eccentric historian Margaret Rosenberg, at the Copenhagen Airport. An even stranger accident makes Elizabeth the esteemed scholar's new private assistant. But luck can go from good to bad in an instant -- and less than twenty-four hours later, the great lady is kidnapped by persons unknown. Suddenly desperate in a foreign land, Elizabeth must cast her lot with Rosenberg's handsome, insufferable son Christian in hopes of finding her vanished benefactor. On a trail that leads from modern wonders to ancient mystery, a determined young woman and an arrogant "prince" must uncover shocking secrets carefully guarded in the beautiful Danish city. And they must survive a mysterious affair that is turning darker and deadlier by the hour.

      A fun read!
    • 4/5
      I think I may be forgiven the use of the god-awful word "romp" when describing this book. Because that is was it is. A joyful romp through Denmark in pursuit of love and a woman with a penchant for strange clothing.
    • 4/5
      This was basically a cute little caper with a convenient romantic entanglement. Not as well-written or in depth as Peters’ Amelia Peabody series, but an entertaining read none-the-less.
    • 3/5
      Elizabeth Jones finds herself on the same plane to Denmark with her favorite writer Margaret Rosenberg and her son Christian. When an accident incapacitates Margaret's secretary, Elizabeth offers to help. When Margaret disappears, Elizabeth and Christian team up to find her without a clue what they are up against. It's a a mediocre read with a plot that is sometimes hard-to-follow. This is not one of Peters' better books.
    • 4/5
      Elizabeth is a huge fan of Margaret Rosenberg, and can't believe her luck in getting a temporary job as her secretary. But when Margaret disappears, Elizabeth must help Margaret's son, Christian, figure out what happened to her, before someone comes for them.
