--Books and Movie Reviews (re Almost Gone)
CALAMITY (AND A DANISH) is book #5 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.
Book #5, CALAMITY (AND A DANISH), takes them to the stunning city of Copenhagen. London is thrilled to sail into the historic harbor of Nyhavn, with its colorful homes lining the harbor, and to visit a delicious pastry festival, where the country competes for the best Danish in Denmark. But when she has the bad fortune to discover a dead body, London’s dreams turn into a nightmare, leaving her little time to solve the crime herself—or else find herself imprisoned.
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.
Book #6 in the series—MAYHEM (AND HERRING)—is now also available!

This series is best read in order. We finally meet Jeremy Lapham, CEO of the cruise ship and his surprising sidekick. This changes the dynamic aboard the ship and some additional problems for the staff. This book is the funniest yet, with the first half of the book focusing on the cruise itself, with the usual on-board crises, and London Rose’s romance with Bryce. I really enjoyed visiting Copenhagen and trying to solve the mystery. The ending was quite a surprise and leaves me impatiently awaiting the next book. I really hope the series continues beyond this one cruise as this remains my favourite cozy mystery series.
