--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.

Book #3 (CRIME AND LAGER), #4 (MISFORTUNE AND GOUDA), #5 (CALAMITY AND A DANISH), and #6 (MAYHEM AND HERRING) are also now available!

Ratings and reviews

While the story is ok, the narrator "Caroline" has a terrible annoying voice that lacks emotion and flexibility. So make sure, you stick with the e book and don't stray into the Audio version. Unless you listen to the first book in this series!

London Rose and Sir Reggie are an amazing duo! I am enjoying getting to know the characters in the series. I love how Blake Pierce weaves a tale. I have been following his hard-hitting mystery/thriller series for years. This is the first cozy mystery series I have read by him. It is so good that I ate cheese and crackers for my supper because I didn’t want to be away from reading the book any longer than necessary. Even amidst, or should I say, “In spite of”, the murder and mayhem, this was a fun read. I smiled to myself so many times while reading this story. Even though London Rose is the heroine of the series, in my opinion, Sir Reggie steals the show! Reading this story provided me with the most relaxing and entertaining afternoon and evening of my past few days. What a great read! If you love a clean, intriguing whodunit, then you will want to grab this book. Just be sure to clear a few hours of your schedule to finish the story; because once you begin reading it, you are not going to want to put it down until you finish reading the last page. I received a free copy of this book from the author via BookSirens and am voluntarily leaving a review. This gift did not affect my review of the book. This review is my voluntary and honest opinion.

Death (and apple strudel) second in series with London Rose. Really enjoyed, its like taking an interesting history lesson from your armchair through Europe.. Add to this a murder maybe two love interests and an adopted dog not to mention a chance encounter with news of London's mum keeps you turning pages..
