A European Voyage Cozy Mystery Series

„Wenn man denkt, dass das Leben nicht besser werden kann, kommt Blake Pierce mit einem weiteren Meisterwerk an Spannung und Geheimnis daher! Dieses Buch ist voller Wendungen und am Ende gibt's eine überraschende Enthüllung. Sehr empfehlenswert für die Dauerbibliothek eines jeden Lesers, der einen sehr gut geschriebenen Thriller zu schätzen weiß.“ --Books and Movie Review (über ‚So Gut Wie Vorüber‘) MORD (UND BAKLAVA) ist der Debütroman der charmanten, neuen Cosy-Krimi-Reihe des #1 Bestsellerautors Blake Pierce, dessen Buch 'Verschwunden' über 1.500 Fünf-Sterne-Rezensionen bekommen hat. Als London Rose, 33, von ihrem langjährigen Freund einen Heiratsantrag erhält, wird ihr klar, dass sie einem stabilen, vorhersehbaren, vorherbestimmten (und leidenschaftslosen) Leben gegenübersteht. Sie flippt aus, rennt in die andere Richtung - und nimmt stattdessen einen Job jenseits des Atlantiks an, als Reiseleiterin auf einer europäischen High-End-Kreuzfahrtlinie, die täglich durch ein anderes Land fährt. London ist auf der Suche nach einem romantischen, ungeschriebenen und aufregenden Leben, von dem sie sich sicher ist, dass es irgendwo da draußen existiert. London ist begeistert: Die europäischen Flussstädte sind klein, historisch und charmant. Jeden Abend sieht sie einen neuen Hafen, probiert eine endlose Reihe von neuen Gerichten und trifft einen Strom interessanter Leute. Es ist der Traum eines Reisenden - und alles andere als vorhersehbar. Aber als ein wohlhabender, anspruchsvoller Passagier außerhalb von Budapest plötzlich tot aufgefunden wird, ist die Kreuzfahrt ein bisschen zu unberechenbar geworden. Schlimmer noch: Als letzte Person, die ihn lebend gesehen hat, fällt der Verdacht auf London. Ihr bleibt keine andere Wahl, als das Verbrechen aufzuklären (mit ihrem neuen Gefährten, einem verwaisten Hund), um ihre Kreuzfahrtgesellschaft und sich selbst zu retten. Zum Lachen komisch, romantisch, liebenswert, voller neuer Sehenswürdigkeiten, Kultur und Essen: MORD (UND BAKLAVA) bietet eine lustige und spannende Reise durch das Herz Europas, verankert in einem faszinierenden Mysterium, das euch bis zur allerletzten Seite in seinen Bann ziehen wird. Buch #2 (TOD UND APFELSTRUDEL) und Buch #3 (VERBRECHEN UND LAGERBIER) der Serie sind jetzt ebenfalls erhältlich.

“When you think that life cannot get better, Blake Pierce comes up with another masterpiece of thriller and mystery! This book is full of twists, and the end brings a surprising revelation. Strongly recommended for the permanent library of any reader who enjoys a very well-written thriller.” --Books and Movie Reviews (re Almost Gone) MURDER (AND BAKLAVA) is the debut novel in a charming new cozy mystery series by #1 bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose Once Gone has over 1,500 five-star reviews. 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. But when a wealthy, high-maintenance passenger suddenly turns up dead outside of Budapest, the cruise has become a bit too unpredictable. Even worse: as the last person to see her alive, suspicion falls on London, leaving her no choice but to solve the crime (with her new sidekick, an orphaned dog), and save her cruise line and herself. Laugh-out-loud funny, romantic, endearing, rife with new sights, culture and food, MURDER (AND BAKLAVA) 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.

“Quando pensi che la vita non possa andare meglio di così, Blake Pierce salta fuori con un altro capolavoro di thriller e mistero! Questo libro è pieno di svolte e il finale porta alla luce una sorprendente rivelazione. Fortemente raccomandato per la collezione di tutti i lettori che amano i thriller ben scritti.” --Books and Movie Reviews (riguardo a Il killer della rosa) DELITTO (E BAKLAVA) è il romanzo di debutto di una nuova e affascinante serie di gialli scritta dall’autore bestseller numero #1 Blake Pierce, il cui romanzo IL KILLER DELLA ROSA ha oltre 1.500 recensioni a cinque stelle. Quando London Rose, 33 anni, riceve la proposta di matrimonio dal suo fidanzato di lunga data, si rende conto di trovarsi a dover affrontare una vita stabile, prevedibile, predeterminata (e priva di passione). Si spaventa e scappa, accettando invece un lavoro oltreoceano come guida turistica in una linea di crociere di lusso in Europa. London sta cercando una vita emozionante, improvvisata e più romantica che è sicura di poter trovare da qualche altra parte. London è felice: le cittadine di fiume europee sono piccole, storiche e affascinanti. Le viene offerta l’occasione di vedere un porto diverso ogni sera, può assaggiare un’infinita gamma di piatti diversi e incontrare una fiumana di gente interessante. È il sogno di ogni viaggiatore, ed è tutt’altro che prevedibile. Ma quando un ricco passeggero improvvisamente viene trovato morto fuori da Budapest, la crociera si trasforma in qualcosa di un po’ troppo imprevedibile. Ancora peggio: essendo l’ultima persona ad averlo visto vivo, i sospetti ricadono su London e questo non le lascia altra scelta che risolvere il crimine (con il suo nuovo braccio destro, un cane orfano) salvando la sua linea di crociere e se stessa. Tanto divertente da sbellicarsi dalle risate, romantico, tenero, pieno zeppo di luoghi da visitare, cultura e cibo, DELITTO (E BAKLAVA) offre un viaggio divertente e pieno di suspense nel cuore dell’Europa, tenendo il lettore ancorato a un intrigante giallo che vi farà restare in tensione e nel dubbio fino all’ultima pagina. Il libro #2 (MORTE CON STRUDEL DI MELE) e il libro #3 (UN CRIMINE E UNA LAGER) nella stessa serie sono ora disponibili.
