A dream vacation. A perfect anniversary. A killer hiding in plain sight.
When Derek and Brianna Murphy set off on a romantic river cruise from Passau to Budapest to celebrate twenty-five years of marriage, they expect historic cities, candlelit dinners, and a much-needed reconnection. What they don't expect is the instant bond they form with two other couples-strangers who, over shared excursions and late-night conversations, begin to feel like lifelong friends.
But friendships forged on calm waters can shatter in dark depths.
On the final morning in Budapest, the body of a passenger is discovered drifting in the Danube-an apparent accident that quickly proves anything but. When Peter Andrassy, former NYPD detective turned investigator for the Hungarian National Police arrives, he is tasked to untangle a web of secrets that followed the tourists ashore.
Can Peter find the killer and bring them to justice? Or will he become a victim himself?
Love from advanced readers of Death on the Danube
You'll enjoy this book as much as I did if you love a fast-paced 'vacation gone wrong' trope along with a bunch of possible suspects!
Death on the Danube is a fast-paced murder mystery with a twist I didn't see coming.
I feel like I just got off a European river cruise...the descriptions of the trip were so real!
Another well-written must-read story by D.J. Maughan!
It keeps you guessing until the last minute, and the ending will blow you away!
It gives you a glimpse into cruise vacations, love, betrayal, heartbreak, wholesome family support, friendship, death, law enforcement, and more!
If you love locked-room style mysteries, exotic settings, and psychological thrillers that keep you flipping pages, this one is it!
From the amazing descriptions of castles and scenery, to the mystery and intrigue, this book has everything!
His writing style is superb, and his ability to tell a story is phenomenal!
I was captivated until the very end, and never expected that outcome.
