–Books and Movie Reviews (re Almost Gone)

MAYHEM (AND HERRING) is book #6 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 MAYHEM (AND HERRING), Book #6, London and her crew sail into the beautiful northern city of Oslo, admiring its gorgeous archipelago of islands, its local architecture and cuisine. It is the perfect stop-until, on a fishing outing, London reels in not the local Cod-but a dead body.

The discovery forces London, once again suspiciously in the crosshairs, to get to the bottom of a local mystery-or else risk losing her career and her future.

Laugh-out-loud funny, romantic, endearing, rife with new sights, culture and food, THE EUROPEAN VOYAGE cozy series 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.
