Vicky Bliss #4
Trojan Gold
A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words
But the photograph art historian Vicky Bliss has just received gives rise to a thousand questions instead. A quick glance at the blood-stained envelope is all the proof she needs that something is horribly wrong.
The picture itself is familiar: a woman adorned in the gold of Troy. Yet this isn't the famous photograph of Frau Schliemann—no, this picture is contemporary. The gold, as Vicky and her fellow academics know, disappeared at the end of World War II.
Now this circle of experts is gathered for a festive Bavarian Christmas. All of them—including the mysterious John Smythe and a very determined killer...

Best so far of the Vicky Bliss series; the author may have been getting her feet under her better by now, in this early/mid-career book, partly in writing but mostly in a grip on the characters, who get some more room to develop.
Some weird scene transitions here and there, as if a scene break had dropped out between paragraphs, creating transitional whiplash; this also appears in some other of the books. I'm not sure if it's a formatting defect or just an oddity of the writing style, which tends to get a bit compressed or truncated towards the ends, of these books from a period when shorter word-counts were mandated.
The books are from an era when travelogues were much appreciated, by readers unable to get there in person to see the places and objects described. This style is done less commonly in our vastly more image-saturated world, but in the meanwhile, as the books slowly age into being historical fiction, they become an evocation not of a place but of a time we cannot reach.
Also, for anyone looking for Elizabeth Peters read-alikes, I should remember to rec the romantic suspense-mystery-history novels of Lillian Stewart Carl, https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

If I were on a desert island and could only have one book, it would be this one. Is it the best book ever written? No. Does it have overwhelming literary merit? No again. But Elizabeth Peters' writing style always has struck a chord with me, and Vicky is my favorite of her series heroines. I can (and have) read this book over and over and never gotten tired of it.
The repartee between John and Vicky is reminiscent of that in His Girl Friday. They're smart, they're sexy, and John is just enough of a bad boy to be interesting without putting Vicky in (too much) danger.
I adore Schmidt. I'd love to work for Schmidt. In the first couple of books, his character was less three-dimensional, but we begin to see shades of Schmidt in this book.
Vicky and John's relationship deepens, as well. While there's still some of the lighthearted romp aspect, we being to see the intense feelings they have for each other.

As I start downloading lady mysteries, I am reminded that this is one of my favorite series and this one of my favorite books of it. These characters sparkle together like few others do. Great mystery, great romance. Setting the bar high as I revisit the genre!

I saw that someone added this to their shelf called "guilty-pleasures" and I'd have to agree that's pretty accurate. Vicky Bliss is a fine Elizabeth Peters heroine (and actually refreshingly different than good old Amelia Peabody...nothing wrong with Amelia... just a different pace) but the real draw here is her mysterious nemesis, John Smythe. Is he good? Is he bad? Only one thing's for sure... he's a smooth operator!
My husband must really love me. He actually listened to me read this book a second time out loud since I loved it so much. I can't say he was as into it as me though ;D.

Our mystery book club members had to read a book that involved treasures stolen from Germany during World War II. I read Elizabeth Peter's book, Trojan Gold. I've never read any of the Vickie Bliss mysteries and this is the fourth in the series. I enjoyed the book, although the fact that every man made a play for her became a bit old. I like my mysteries to be less romantic, although I did really like the character of Sir John (obviously one of his many aliases).

I read up on "Priam's Treasure," which is the name given to the cache of gold pendants, bracelets, rings and other articles found by Heinrich Schliemann in 1870. In 1881, he donated the treasure to Germany where it remained until the end of WWII. It disappeared from a Berlin bunker along with other works of art during the war's chaotic last days. The article I read, dated April 16, 1996, appeared in the New York Times. I quote from it below.
"Russian authorities finally acknowledged that Soviet troops occupying Berlin had spirited the gold back to Moscow, along with hundreds of thousands of other works of art. For decades, a handful of Soviet officials, sworn to silence, were the only ones allowed to know that the treasure was here, stored in the bowels of the Pushkin Museum. Even the head curator of ancient art at the museum, Vladimir Tolstikov, learned the secret only by chance in 1975, and he wasn't permitted to see the gold until 1993.
But starting on Tuesday, and for the next year, everyone who braves the endless lines expected at the Pushkin will get to see Priam's Treasure. Occupying a single room in the museum, it consists of about 260 mostly tiny objects, miraculously preserved in mint condition and theatrically lighted. The finest of the lot are large jadeite and lapis lazuli ritual axes and opulent diadems of feathery gold, including the one that Schliemann, with his Barnum-like flair, said might have belonged to Helen of Troy."
****
I was slightly disappointed that there was no definite resolution at the end with regard to the gold. We do find out who masterminded the dastardly deeds that were committed.

I listened to this in audio and the narration worked for me. I really liked the last few chapters of the book but found the rest just okay. Overall, this was a C read for me, so am giving it three stars here. However, I liked the last few chapters so much, that I've now started listening to the next in the series, The Last Train to Memphis.

Finally these stories are picking up a bit! 3.5
Vicky will really just let anyone grope her, won't she? Whether she likes it or not she hardly ever lifts a finger or says a word to stop it. I would really like her to haul off and clock every single one of these cads who are always pawing her.

Trojan Gold, Book 4 of the Vicky Bliss series, fights very, very hard with Book 5 for my favorite book of the entire lot, and it's one of my favorites by Elizabeth Peters in general. It boasts some of her strongest writing, a fairly decent and substantial plot, and some nifty upping of the romantic ante between Vicky and her paramour John.
The setting du jour is a Bavarian ski lodge where Vicky and five others once stayed together, and where Vicky befriended the old proprietor of the place. Now the old man is dead, and with his death, he's drawn Vicky and her old acquaintances back together. John Smythe is not far behind, for the catalyst of this gathering is a picture of the gentleman's wife--wearing golden jewelry from the famed archaeological site of Troy, which would be worth a fortune if it could be found.
I had forgotten that Vicky's old flame Tony from Borrower of the Night actually shows up again in this one, providing an unexpected romantic challenge to John; seeing him again as I re-read the book was a pleasant surprise. But really, he's no real competition for our gentleman thief. Especially not when this book features John finally declaring his feelings for Vicky, in a bit that's one of the most effective declarations of love I've ever had the pleasure to read. Specifically because it's not flowery or even particularly sentimental. In fact, it gets pretty much dragged out of John, much to Vicky's glee. ;)
Dive into this one with both feet, folks (though get the other three out of the way first). Four stars.

The first book I've read of the Vicky Bliss series. Started out as a five star read and then slowly went downhill. The interactions between Jack and Vicky are delightful and made me want to go back and read about how they first met, but the other characters are awful. The majority of them are men who are Vicky's colleagues in the art world and all four or five of them are infatuated with her and tend to get handsy. You thought love triangles were bad? Try a love pentagon. Seemed like the author got so caught up in all the guys' attempts to seduce Vicky that the mystery took a backseat, so much so that it wasn't totally resolved at the end.

Still one of the best Vicky Bliss books, with a solid mystery and a bit more depth for John. Read on audio CD by Barbara Rosenblat, who makes everything better.
It is a tribute to Peters’ skill that I always read this one with vague memories of Vicky’s previous trip to Garmisch despite the fact that the trip exists only via references to it in this book.

There's so much leaping to conclusions in these books that it's quite a leg workout, but they are too much fun to complain about too much. Vicky's snark, John's smirk, and my beloved Schmidt's sunny goofiness are perfect together.

This is 30 year old mystery by an author I like. I didn't realize it was #4 in a series and it didn't matter that much. I didn't care for Vicky all that much so this was more a 2.5 star read for me.
Vicky is an art historian working in Switzerland and she is mailed a picture in a blood soaked envelope. Well she argues it's not blood at first but when she realizes it is, she doesn't involve the police. She, along with her peculiar boss, start investigating the picture which shows the titular Trojan Gold on a woman other than the one known model for it. This gold jewelry disappeared in the time of the Nazis and now Vicky is on the trail of it with her boss, Schmidt and her would be fiancé, Tony who is now in theory given up on her and is engaged to someone else.
She tries to enlist the help of her sometime lover the thief and conman, John Smythe. He claims to have no interest but that doesn't mean he isn't keeping a close eye on her. Soon she trails it back to Mr Hoffman, an old man who owns a ski hotel she had stayed at with other art historians including Tony, Dieter, who is sexual harassment on two legs, Elsie, Dieter's sometimes girlfriend and the very handsome Jan Perlmutter from East Germany.
Mr. Hoffman has recently died in an accident and his very young wife confirms the idea that he had something of value. Vicky believes he took the gold during WWII and of course wants it. All too soon all the art historians she had spent that hotel weekend with have reemerged on the trail of the gold.
Honestly Vicky spends more time bouncing about in bed with the men, more to use them than out of love (or at least Tony and John, not so much Dieter which becomes an issue later.) There are some dated things to this like the amount of sexual harassment that might have flown in the 80s and the way the attempted rape was skimmed past. I found the end not particularly fulfilling. I like her Amelia Peabody books but I'm not really moved to look up too many more Vicky Bliss books.

An anonymous piece of mail containing a picture of a woman dressed in the jewels recovered from the famous Troy archeological dig herald a new Christmas time adventure for Vicky Bliss. Elizabeth Peters continues the fun mystery series with the wise-cracking, gorgeous, but very clever Art Historian, her eccentric German boss, and a gentleman thief who has a thing for tall, blond straight-arrow Art Historians.
Trojan Gold is the fourth in the series. Each book can read standalone for the individual mystery capers, but there are series arcs that make it best read in order.
Vicky gets a weird piece of mail come across her office desk at the museum. She and Schmidt work out that not only are those the real pieces of jewelry from the lost Trojan treasure, but Vicky recognizes the woman. She also gets a sudden visit from her long-time colleague working for an American university and ex-lover Tony and another colleague working in a different German museum, Dieter. This can’t be a coincidence that more than half the group who came together for a conference a few years back are now descending on the little Bavarian alpine village where they met the old innkeeper who might be key to the lost Trojan Gold.
It’s Christmas time and so the festivities and scenery is well repped along with Vicky and the others running to and fro looking into suspects and clues. Then murder happens and attempted murder on Vicky. Obviously, she’s on the right track. Hijinks and mayhem follow when Schmidt, Tony, and John tagalong with her.
Barbara Rosenblatt continues to narrate the series with a fabulous wry twist and captivating gift for storytelling.
All in all, this Christmas caper was another solid installment in the series. These are a blend of historical cozy mystery, romantic suspense, and comedy done well.
My full review will post at Books of My Heart on 5.28.25.

SUCH fun! Adore Vicky and John.

I am an ardent fan of Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody series, but I don't remember reading any novels featuring Vicky Bliss before. On the down side, this isn't the first book in the series, so there seemed to be a great deal of backstory that I've missed. On the up side, the book made me laugh in several places. It is a mystery-adventure, and there is murder and mayhem, but there's farce too. A nice escape!
April 27, 2014
I'm really happy I reread this, I'd forgotten how entertaining this series is. (I tried a few Amelia Peabodys, but this series has a much less labored style.)
Anyway, this book is a gift.

Between Schmidt and Tony's bumbling, John's transformation into a jealous and possessive lover, and the totally lame mystery story, this book was a mess and a definite slide backward. It unfortunately reminded me a lot of all the failings of the first book, with none of the charm of the second and third.
December 28, 2025
I adore this series and rereading my favorite installment on audio was a delight. I can’t say they’re traditional mysteries—suspense is the best genre for Vicky—but I love her and John. The narration is excellent (though I wished there was a smidge more dramatic emotion in the final scenes of this one).
December 6, 2007
Vicky Bliss is my favorite herione of Elizabeth Peter's. It took me a while before I agreed to read this because of my irrational hatred of another character of her's, Amelia Peabody. I love the quick pace of this series and the underlying humor.
February 3, 2025
I know I remarked on the way you can trace Peters coming into herself as a writer as you read this series, but it’s incredible—and incredibly satisfying—the jump in quality between this book and the first three. Where they were all rounded up to three stars, this one is rounded down from a firm 3.5
October 22, 2017
My favorite book in this particular series.

Art History + detectives + sassy female protagonist = great find!!
August 11, 2022
I picked this up at the library because I love ancient Troy and has heard good things about the author. This book was okay. I liked the setting and the mystery of the long lost gold. I did not like Vicky. All of the men in this novel are hopelessly in love with her and want to sleep with her at every turn, which got old fast. Also, every other woman in this book is portrayed as vapid, shallow, and stupid (and of course Vicky is the only one who can see these intentions). How Vicky treated Tony rubbed me the wrong way too. She makes it clear she doesn't really care about him (in any way, it seems) but has the audacity to be upset with him because he has a fiancée and isn't all over her. I actually found John charming, especially as the book went on.
Overall, I wish this story had more to the mystery and less of Vicky's weird relationship dynamics. And I could do without the treatment the other female characters are given. I think I might try reading another book from this author that does not feature Vicky.

The best book of Peters' best series. I've re-read it several times, paper, e, and audio books, and it always makes me laugh aloud. It's hard to write funny. It's harder to write funny and scary at the same time, but the climax manages to be both.
Sir John Smythe is a romantic hero who is sort of an amazing trick. He's slender, not buff. He's intellectual. He happily admits to being a coward (but will risk himself for his love). He's a thief, though eventually (and I think sadly) Peters redeems him in later books. He's a lot of things heroes shouldn't be, but he works.
Alas that the final books in the series are so weak, and that they push this fun, independent heroine towards marriage/chattelization/dependence. That's not a happy ending for me, and I would have rather she stayed single and kept messing about with John on their adventures, but this book and the two before it are wonderful, among my favorite books of all time.

This book felt very chaotic. I enjoy the Amelia Peabody series, and I enjoyed Naked once more, but this story just felt very much not thought out. Vicky seemed to be doing things at random, for no rhyme or reason, and it made the story, which had some decent bones to built from, much less enjoyable then it could have been. I also question whether she had ever experience Christmas in a German town, though I will acknowledge there are wide variances to how it is celebrated. It was nothing like my own experience, but it sure helped the story, while making it even more chaotic. And if Vicky and her entourage had been there the year before, some of the things that seemed to surprise her should not have. I was disappointed by this book, I hope, if I pick up another one, that I will find a better developed story, like I know Ms. Peters is capable of.
December 12, 2015
This has always been my favorite Vicky Bliss story. I love the snow and Christmas in Germany. I love the way John pops in and out of the story and Schmidt keeps trying to follow her with his silly disguises. There's plenty of mystery, suspects galore and the occasional dead body to keep the plot rolling. It's romantic suspense at it's best - if you like it short on romance and more farcical that suspenseful, though there are some tense moments, too. It's just an all around fun read that never fails to delight me. And, if you've been reading them in order, there's a nice bit at the end between Vicky and John. Peters was a solid writer who rarely made a misstep and this is one of her early best.

Time for a new copy of this book; I have literally read the one I've got into pieces! Man, there are some great bits in this one--the night in the abandoned church, Tony's arrival at Vicky's house, John's confession, Schmidt in a skin tight Santa outfit... It was nice to see Tony back again, and Dieter and Jan are interesting characters as well. I feel like Peters really hit her stride with the series in this book--it's much longer than the previous volumes, as well as much funnier and much more emotionally charged. Just, so so good! Even though I've read this...eight times now? It never gets old. Moving on to Night Train to Memphis now!

I am enjoying this one, and Bliss is my favorite of Peters' series heroines... by far. I also like the John B. Smythe character... sexy and lots of fun. I think everyone has had a love like that (a bad boy who has a heart of gold... maybe), and that's what makes it nostalgic and interesting. I have only read 'Silhouette in Scarlet' of the series so far which I enjoyed but which lagged a bit before the end. I like this one so far very much. The setting of Munich and Germany in general also makes it an engrossing read.
****
It was awesome for the setting in Germany which was so engrossing AND for some of the final scenes in which matters develop further between Smythe and Vicky. :)
