Loading... The Seventh Sinner (1972)by Elizabeth Peters
None.  Condorena | Apr 2, 2013 |  I like Elizabeth Peters but didn't care much for this one. I think my problem was that the main character of Jean didn't have enough background or personality to relate to her. I liked the 1972 references. I remember when things were cruddy. (  ) BONNIEJUNE | Nov 9, 2011 | Enjoyed the writing! It was a quick read, but not dumbed down. Loved the wit too! There were so many playful wordings and characters, it made for a fun read. The story was nicely developed and unfolded well, with plenty of little twists. I will certainly be reading more Elizabeth Peters!

She become part of a group of students who become involved in a series of "accidents" after a disliked student's body is found in the Temple of Mithra. ( ) lindahallmann | May 26, 2011 | Girl (art historian) goes to Rome, girl lured into frightful danger, will girl escape? You probably know the answer, and this is, for Elizabeth Peters, a rather pedestrian read. Still, it is by Elizabeth Peters, and therefore spruced up with odd and interesting bits of art historical knowledge, and a pleasantly bantering tone.

This is one the first of Peters published books in the mystery genre and it was a little un even.
But I do like the location ,the history and the interesting trips into catacombs, old churches as a search for a murderer spreads out . A very unlikeable character is murdered leaving a written clue of seven in the dust beside his body. We get to learn about seven saints, seven churches, seven hills of Rome and more. The liberal use of google images really added to the enjoyment of the book. (
