--Books and Movie Reviews (re Almost Gone)

DEATH (AND APPLE STRUDEL) is book two in a charming new cozy mystery series by #1 bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose Once Gone has over 1,500 five-star reviews. The series begins with MURDER (AND BAKLAVA)—BOOK #1.

When London Rose, 33, is proposed to by her long-time boyfriend, she realizes she is facing a stable, predictable, pre-determined (and passionless) life. She freaks out and runs the other way—accepting instead a job across the Atlantic, as a tour-guide on a high-end European cruise line that travels through a country a day. London is searching for a more romantic, unscripted and exciting life that she feels sure exists out there somewhere.

London is elated: the European river towns are small, historic and charming. She gets to see a new port every night, gets to sample an endless array of new cuisine and meet a stream of interesting people. It is a traveler’s dream, and it is anything but predictable.

In Book 2, DEATH (AND APPLE STRUDEL), the cruise takes them into Vienna and Salzburg, home of Mozart and the birthplace of music, and all seems picture-perfect. Until, that its, their tour guide turns up dead after giving the passengers a tour of Mozart’s theatre. Suspicion falls on them. Who could have killed her? And why?

Laugh-out-loud funny, romantic, endearing, rife with new sights, culture and food, DEATH (AND APPLE STRUDEL) offers a fun and suspenseful trip through the heart of Europe, anchored in an intriguing mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing until the very last page.

Goodreads review by Jim on January 12, 2021

It amazes me that even after 60+ years of reading mysteries (and other books) that I can find a writer, BLAKE PIERCE, with more than 100 books published and I had not read any, nor even heard of, the books or the author. If I read one of Pierce’s books a week, it would take me two years to read all......more

Contrariamente ad altri, che hanno trovato migliore la prima indagine, ho trovato questo secondo "caso" per London Rose - direttrice di Crociera sulla Nachtmusik, che percorre il Danubio e i suoi canali navigabili - molto più interessante. Non che lei si sia trasformata improvvisamente in Miss Marpl......more

Goodreads review by Infosleuth on December 30, 2020

I'm hooked on this series! The cruise continues on to Austria with the same group of passengers and crew as book one. This is almost two books in one. There is the mystery when a dead body turns up and then the story of protagonist London Rose. We get a look at the challenges of her job on the cruise......more

Goodreads review by Merry on January 04, 2021

The author not only provides us with a murder mystery as the main theme, but he also gives us two really good sub-themes along with lots of twists and turns and wonderful descriptions as the tour takes us to Austria. The main character London, with her puppy, Sir Reggie who seems to understand what......more
