5.0 out of 5 stars This lass gives two thumbs up!, July 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Legend In Green Velvet (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was truly inspired. The imagery and wordplay was fantastic. Though there is a typical, stereotypical villian, he was still credible. Susan and James were excellent protagonists: the chemistry they shared heightened the wit and humor in the story. Every page is wrought of adventure and suspense and I applaud Peters' choice to weave the old Scottish legends into the fabric of her novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Highly readable mystery set in Scotland, January 29, 1998

PamS "avid reader" (Wellesley, MA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Legend In Green Velvet (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a delightful mystery set in Scotland. While the mystery is a good one and the characters interesting (Susan, the Scottish history buff and James, the son of Highland nobility), what is most fun is the very atmospheric evocation of Edinburgh and the Highlands. Peters manages to convey lots of Scottish history and legend in this book while keeping it very readable. I highly recommend this for anyone travelling to Scotland. It will heighten enjoyment of the trip.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful!, September 28, 1999

stuff@greycat.com (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Legend In Green Velvet (Mass Market Paperback)

I'm so happy to see this book back in print. This is a popcorn book. Light and fluffy, to be sure, but very satisfying. Romance, humor and suspense are well blended. It'll leave you smiling.
