The Painted Queen
The Painted Queen: An Amelia Peabody Novel of Suspense
by Elizabeth Peters, Joan Hess
Disappointed (8/7/2017)
I have read and loved all of the Amelia Peabody novels so was happy to see a new one. However, the characters in this book are not the ones I grew so fond of in the previous Amelia stories. Also, the plot was contrived and parts of it made no sense to me. This book needs a thorough editing. While I enjoyed the read, it was not Elizabeth Peters.
