I really do think Elizabeth Peters' books are great entertainment. - Angela RipponThe well woven plot and exotic atmosphere couldn't be much better - it will delight her fans. - Library Journal

Peters (The Last Camel Died at Noon, Audio Reviews, LJ 5/15/92) combines mystery and romance with an interesting locale-Egypt-to produce a witty story. Peters's heroine, Vicky Bliss, is an art historian with a penchant for getting involved in risky situations. This time, she helps to foil a plot to rob the Egyptian Museum. The assignment takes her on a luxury cruise down the Nile. It also puts her on the same boat as her former lover, Sir John Smythe, a reformed jewel thief. The story is like a slow and winding river, taking its time to unfold. Barbara Rosenblat's narration is full of expression, and she is a good choice for this witty and lighthearted book. However, at more than 13 hours of running time, Night Train is a long listen for the casual audiobook user. Recommended where Peters has a following or for comprehensive collections.-Nancy Paul, Brandon P.L., Wis.
