Review: DEATH ON THE DANUBE by Jennifer S. Alderson (Book 1)


Lana, a tour guide in Budapest? Well, it’s not like she had any other job. Her resume was indeed long: a disgraced journalist, injured magician’s assistant, former kayaking guide, and part-time yoga instructor.

Christmas was the worst time to lose your job. Still, Budapest? I don’t even know where Budapest is. Still, a free trip’s a free trip. And this was an opportunity for adventure. But, still traveling alone for the first time outside the U.S? It’s scary, but exciting.

I liked Lana’s wit and easy-going persona as well as the lovely Budapest settings. The customers on tour were an eclectic bunch—so bitter and demanding. They were certainly keeping Lana on her toes, especially when keeping with the mantra: “happy customers leave 5-star reviews.”

Mulling over the guest’s backgrounds and connections, Lana discovers shady dealings (affairs, financial ruins, etc.) Who ends up dead? Could a scorned woman be the only suspect?

A riveting mystery!

My rating: 4 stars
