This review is from: Disneyland Hostage (Liz Austen Mysteries #6) (Paperback)

Liz Austen and her brother Tom are detectives. They've solved everything from kidnappings to murders. Now Liz is going to have to solve a hostage situation, without the help of her brother.

While Liz Austen is on a trip to California to visit Universal Studios (City) and Disneyland with her Aunt, they run into a charming man known as Kingsley. He soon becomes a quick friend and escorts them to the amusement parks. But when Liz notices someone following her and her friend Serena they realize that something bad is going to happen. It's now up to Liz to save the hostages, and bring peace to the people visiting Disneyland before someone gets hurt.

This was my first book by Eric Wilson, and I must admit I was very impressed. I like how he doesn't drag sentences out or keep you guessing. This is a great book and I recommend it to any mystery readers.

3.0 out of 5 stars "Disneyland Hostage" Is A Pretty Good Book, December 28, 2000

This review is from: Disneyland Hostage (Liz Austen Mysteries #6) (Paperback)

I just read "Disneyland Hostage" by Eric Wilson. It is about a girl named Liz who travels with her aunt to Universal Studos (City) and to Disneyland. They meet a young man on the plane who accompnies them on their trip. She meets a new friend at Universaal and they hang out there and at Disneyland. While at Disneyland they become hostages by terrorists who want to end poverty where they came from. I was first attracted to this book because it was placed at Disneyland( ny favorite place)but it contained so little of the sights of Disneyland and so I was turned off by the book. It was an exciting read but I wanted to hear more about Disneyland.
