If you’re looking for humorous, light romance mixed with a bit of mystery and a bit of suspense then Elizabeth Peters is an author worth digging up. Today let’s take a quick look at her Copenhagen Connection. In this book Elizabeth Jones, a young woman off on a vacation to Denmark, spots her idol, author Margaret Rosenberg, on the plane. When Margaret’s secretary has an accident upon arrival at the Copenhagen airport Elizabeth jumps at the chance to step in and offer her assistance. Shortly thereafter Margaret disappears, perhaps kidnapped, perhaps on her own recognizance, and Elizabeth and Margaret’s son Christian set out to find her. In the course of the ensuing adventure Elizabeth and Christian fall in love.
This is escapism. Although written in the early 80’s and set in the late 70’s the story as a whole feels fairly timeless and remains an interesting read even today. Give it a try if romantic adventure is your cup of tea.
