For Jessica Tregarth, an unexpected invitation to visit her grandfather in England is a wonderful surprise—an opportunity to open doors to a family past that have always been closed to her. But sinister acts greet her arrival. A stranger tries to steal her luggage and later accosts her in Salisbury Cathedral. Mysterious villains pursue her through Cornwall, their motive and intentions unknown. Jessica's only clue is an antique heirloom she possesses, an ancient ring that bears the Tregarth family crest. And her only ally is handsome gothic novelist David Randall—her self-proclaimed protector—who appears from seemingly out of nowhere to help her in her desperate—attempt to solve a five hundred-year-old, puzzle. For something from out of the cloudy mists of Arthurian lore has come back to plague a frightened American abroad. And a remarkable truth about a fabled king and a medieval treasure could ultimately make Jess Tregarth very rich...or very dead.

2 out of 5 stars OK......I Guess.......2006-12-06

Well, truth be told, I am a die hard Barbara Michaels fan (aka. Elizabeth Peters). I exausted my Barbara books and decided to switch to one of her Elizabeth Peters novels. Since I didn't want to get into a whole series like the Peabody series or what not, I picked this book.
What a let down!!! OK, it kept my intrest and wasen't a total waste of time, but the story was predictable from the middle of the book. Maybe even the beginning. Normaly when I read one of her books I feverishly tear through the last 20 pages or so. Yeah, this one contained the quintessential explination and the "wrap up", but there was no basis to it. I came to the last page and thought THATS IT, you gotta be kidding me.

3 out of 5 stars A Good Walk Down Memory Lane.......2006-08-06

I first read this book almost 30 years ago. It was the first Elizabeth Peters book that I had read. It made a big impression on me at the time, and I thought it was wonderful, to the point of going back several times to the library to check it out. Some lines stayed with me over the years... "when she blows, a typhoon; when she bleeds, the red sea"; and, the line about being a "Tolkien illiterate". Now, in re-reading the book, I find that it is not one of Ms. Peters' best. I did find, however, that I understood the Arthurian references much more clearly. I am glad to finally have been given a chance to read it again, and to have been able to add it to my collection.

3 out of 5 stars LOL.......2006-01-01

No masterpiece, The Camelot Caper is a fun, light read that actually made me laugh aloud, humorously, not derisively, in some places. Written in the late 60's, it certainly does not reflect the changing morals of the "sexual revolution", being somewhat coy and prim on the topic of the romance between Jess and David. This book seems to poke fun at the way many people take the mythology of King Arthur very seriously. Basically, the plot is much ado about nothing, but Peters manages to sustain the reader's curiosity about why all those strange things are happening to poor, naive Jess. I found Camelot Caper refreshing, light and amusing.

1 out of 5 stars I don't believe it--an Elizabeth Peters book I didn't like!.......2005-03-21

Elizabeth Peters is one of my top 5 favorite authors ever. However, this book is really bad. I couldn't even finish it, and I really hate to stop in the middle of a book. If you haven't read this yet, don't; read _The Crocodile on the Sandbank_ instead. If you've already read this, please don't judge Ms Peters by this work. I urge you to give her another shot, because _The Camelot Caper_ is well below the quality of her other books.

3 out of 5 stars Fun, but don't expect more than that.......2004-12-22

To know Elizabeth Peters is not to know this book. I think there can be general agreement that her Amelia Peabody series (although I dearly wish she would write a new Vicky Bliss book) is her best work but some of her other stand alone books can be great fun. The kind of think that is good to pack when you have a long flight ahead of you.

It is best to go into these books expecting nothing more than a little lighthearted fun. With that said though I must note that this is not the best one in that class- you would be better off with Peters' Summer of the Dragon or Naked Once More.
