The Vicky Bliss Mysteries

The Vicky Bliss Mysteries is a mystery novel series by Barbara Mertz, writing as Elizabeth Peters. A published Egyptologist, Mertz wrote three mystery series and a number of stand-alone novels under the name Elizabeth Peters plus gothic and supernatural thrillers under the name Barbara Michaels.

The Vicky Bliss novels are set in late 20th century Europe and Egypt. The author said that the internal chronology of the series is inconsistent with historic time; the characters age only a few years, while the novels were written over a span of forty years.
