Street of the Five Moons by Elizabeth Peters




      This is book #2 of the Vicky Bliss series. Vicky has left Tony and the U.S. behind as she has obtained a job in beautiful Munich in a reputable art museum there. Her new boss, Anton Schmidt, sends her on a quest to discover the meaning of a hieroglyphic note found—along with a too-good reproduction of a classic piece of jewelry—in the pocket of a dead man. Vicky’s first stop is romantic Rome where she indulges in a spot of breaking-and-entering and meets a man (and a dog) who will not quickly leave her life. She also gets herself into some serious trouble.

    This is one of my favorite Vicky Bliss stories. I like the bad guys, I like the setting (Rome and its environs), and I like JOHN, the uppity Englishman who charms his way right into Vicky's life. 

Bad language: some mild swearing
Sex: implied, no sex scenes
