5.0 out of 5 stars Fast-paced, funny and fabulous!, November 25, 1999

This review is from: The Copenhagen Connection (Paperback)

I have been a fan of Elizabeth Peters for just over a year, but have been devouring her books quickly. This is one of my favourites. It is quite short but extremely well written with a sharp sense of humour. The main characters are enjoyable, intelligent (although they don't always act it) and endearing. It combines adventure, comedy and romance beautifully with an emphasis on the last two. The plot is also intriguing (you would never, ever guess what is going on) and the descriptions of Denmark are spot on.

If you enjoy Janet Evanovich then you would also relish this little gem. It is of a similar style but the heroine is not as manic! The fast pace of the action and the humour is much the same (key difference is that it is set in Europe). My only complaint was that I would have liked more, more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Re: Almost as irascible as Emerson, March 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Copenhagen Connection (Audio Cassette)

I LOVED this!!!!! I laughed so much especially at the beginning when our heroine spies her favourite author on a plane and tries to inviegle a meeting, in the proceess managing to seriously alienate her son. The bad tempered christian. When his mother goes missing the two team up and spend the rest of the book pursuing and being pursued by a list of laughable characters. my favourite Peters book outside of vicky Bliss and Amelia Peabody

5.0 out of 5 stars So cute, and funny, November 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Copenhagen Connection (Paperback)

I thought this book was so cute and funny and so educational. I nice combination. I just remember liking the process of reading as well my reaction to it five or six years ago. Elizabeth Peters writes some books better than others, and the romance between the characters are sometimes better than others, and this book really showed one of her best talents and mixing the romance, the adventure, escapade, etc. And I liked the adventure of going to Coppenhagen. The plot seemed better because of that adventurous touch. It's a light but educational fun read.
