Synopsis

For vibrant, lovely Jean Suttman, the fellowship to study in Rome was the culmination of her dreams, until she undertook an innocent expedition to the ancient Temple of Mithra. From the moment she stepped into the pagan darkness and discovered the corpse of Albert, one of her fellow students, she was afraid.Not even the comforting presence of the perceptive and practical Jacqueline Kirby could erase the fear that was nourished by one small accident after another, “accidents” that came dreadfully close to killing her. Someone was stalking Jean, someone ruthless and determined. Before long she could see no chance of rescue from the ever-present terror, no hope of escape, nothing but death.

For some bizarre reason, I have ignored the many books of Elizabeth Peters despite consistently favorable reader reviews. Stupid move, because I really enjoyed this one, written several years ago and reissued. I listened to it on my Audible player while traveling, and it was a very enjoyable 6 hours......more

Goodreads review by Ivonne on August 01, 2024

The late, great Elizabeth Peters introduced readers to numerous clever female sleuths, but flippant Jacqueline Kirby is one of my favorites. The Seventh Sinner is the first in a trilogy of books featuring the red-headed sarcastic heroine with both an enormous purse and an enormous heart. An eccentric......more
