Book Description

Passport to Peril Mysteries February 1, 2003

A TRIP TO DIE FOR...

Accompanying her grandmother on a seniors tour of Switzerland, Emily Andrew had envisioned a vacation straight out of a travel brochure: spectacular scenery, great food, and a classy European hotel, all worlds away from her rural Iowa hometown. But her dream trip quickly snowballs into mayhem when smooth-talking tour escort Andy Simon is found dead. To be sure, Andy was as randy as a mountain goat on Viagra, hitting on every miss -- Swiss or otherwise -- within striking distance. His constant advances were driving Emily cuckoo -- but had someone orchestrated his untimely death?

For savvy, resourceful Emily, leading the tour in Andy's place is only natural. But she can't remain neutral when a fellow traveler takes a fatal plunge -- she's convinced a murderer lurks among them. With precision timing, sexy Etienne Miceli steps in to investigate, and Emily warms to the suave detective. Still, with the group roster suddenly sprouting more holes than the local cheese, Emily wonders: is there a safe haven anywhere in the shadow of the Alps?

5.0 out of 5 stars Funniest Book of the Year, February 6, 2003
By 
This review is from: Alpine for You : A Passport to Peril Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
If you like Janet Evanovich's books, you'll like this new series by Maddy Hunter. The laughs never stop coming, and yes, there's a mystery to solve. One by one, the elderly tourists on a group tour of Switzerland are dying under mysterious circumstances. Emily Andrew, who's accompanying her grandmother on the trip, helps a sexy police inspector in his investigations. I laughed hysterically all the way through the book, and I'm very much looking forward to the next book in this series. This will be one of my "Best Books of 2003". Highly recommended.

This review is from: Alpine for You : A Passport to Peril Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a great 'Who Done It'! It had me guessing a laughing all
through the book. Emily Andrew, a pretty and sexy unemployed
thespian, accompanies her spry grandmother on a trip to Switzerland
with a group of clicky senior citizens from Iowa. Low and behold
people in the group start dropping like flys and everyone becomes a suspect. Emily is forever getting wet whether it be from a faulty
shower, an unexpected dip in the river, or whenever the handsome
Inspector Miceli comes near.
An excellent development of the characters with a mix of mystery
and humor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Read!, June 2, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Alpine for You : A Passport to Peril Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
I love travel, mystery and humor. This book has it all and a bit of romance as well! There is no way I can do justice to this book in a short review but I'll try.

I laughed out loud so many times reading this book. I have read it again I enjoyed it so much. I highly recommend this book to those of you who enjoy light cozy mysteries and travel and humor.

A short summary is that the main character ends up on a seniors tour and while exploring Europe some unfortunate incidents happen to her tour members and she ends up getting involved in solving the crimes. During this she meets an Italian detective with whom she shares a mutual attraction. Lost luggage adds more humor to her situation (and frustration naturally).

Highly recommended!!! Can't wait until her new one this fall.Travel the world with Maddy Hunter - you'll love it.
