Travel, anyone? Here is your passport to murder – three clean cozy mysteries set in Europe's most fascinating destinations!

While traveling around the world, tour guide Lana Hansen lands in the middle of deadly mysteries. From a killer on the loose in Budapest to clients who gets snuffed out in Paris and Amsterdam, can she solve these cases before she’s the next to depart… for good?

Pick up this collection of three full-length mysteries now and see if you can sleuth out the killers before Lana does!

Death on the Danube: A New Year’s Murder in Budapest
Who knew a New Year’s trip to Budapest could be so deadly? The tour must go on – even with a killer in their midst! Tour guide Lana Hansen must sleuth out who is killing her clients before she ends up floating in the Danube.

Death by Baguette: A Valentine’s Day Murder in Paris
Paris—the city of love, lights … and murder? Join tour guide Lana Hansen as she escorts five couples on an unforgettable Valentine-themed vacation to France! Unfortunately it will be the last trip for one passenger… Lana must figure out who really killed her client before she has to say bonjour to prison and adieu to her freedom.

Death by Windmill: A Mother’s Day Murder in Amsterdam
A Mother’s Day trip to the Netherlands turns deadly when a guest plummets from a windmill. Was it an accident or a murder? For Lana Hansen, the answer will mean freedom or imprisonment for someone close to her…


Praise for the Travel Can Be Murder Cozy Mystery series:

"With stops in Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day, Christmas in Rome, and even a bachelorette party in Reykjavik, this series is certainly one for the bucket list traveler. Lana’s status as a brand new tour guide means the reader experiences the wonder of these destinations just as she does." - Forbes, "Travel Books: 5 Cozy Mystery Series To Satisfy Your Wanderlust"

The author writes with a light touch, but issues of family love, loyalty, and forgiveness are explored along the way.” – Harriet Steel, Inspector de Silva Mysteries

    The three books I read were fast paced, engaging and pretty realistic. I had just left Amsterdam when I read that book so it was cool to picture the different locations. It is hard to imagine anyone keeping their job after 7 murders - or anyone using that agency - but it is fiction. The character development was good, so much so I could create mental pictures of them without it being too wordy of descriptions.

    These books are filled with travel info and interesting characters. Each book brings us tourism spots within each different city/ country. Lana, a new tour guide, takes us on a journey which is filled with the wonders of different places, cafes, restaurants and what make each site unique. As it is Lana’a first time I’m
    N Budapest, Paris and Amsterdam, we get a perspective of visiting each site from her eyes, as if we are there. I love how we discover the interesting things about each. Of course, there are murders, which I would hope never to experience on a tour. The tours continue as Lana works to solve each mystery. A bit unbelievable, but expected in each book. But, the wonders of the places, the different characters as well as the motives all work to bring us a really good book.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Well, on the one hand, it makes me want to travel but on the other, it makes me tired thinking about all that goes into traveling. Getting an opportunity to travel as a tour guide for her landlords travel agency, Lana reluctantly agrees not knowing that a murder will result in her using her investigative skills from her time as a reporter to help solve the crime. First time is in Budapest, then Paris, and finally the Netherlands. The third is more personal as it involves her mother, but at the end of the day, they help her get over being divorced and jobless.

    Lots of background on the locations, hence my desire to travel and visit those places. A little romance, although the cheating potential boyfriend in book 2 didn't help with her finding a new love interest. I did like the themes of the trips. Although being a guide to couples and you aren't one is depressing. The mother's day overstated that way too with estrangement from her mom. The first was just depressing as she was hoping to get past her heartache to be working with a heartbreaker who ends up murdered. There is usually a good reason for her getting involved.

    This is the 3rd book in Travel Can Be Murder serie and it is set in Amsterdam, Europe during Mothers' Day. We follow here several mothers with daughters who travel on a guided tour to Amsterdam. Including main character Lana' s mother Gilian. And while touring murders occur. Lana is trying to solve it and get rid of suspision that her mother Gilian is the culprit.
    I like this serie because it combines travel with mystery solving. In this book we get to know a lot about Amsterdam and its important monuments. We get to know also about Lana's private life and resolving also her past problem in previous work as a journalist.

    I enjoyed all three stories in this collection. I did figure out a key piece of evidence in the last book very early and wondered why the author didn't tell it until closer to the end. The writing style was one that drew me in and let me travel to the destinations from my armchair, which was cost efficient. Look forward to reading more by this author.

    Travel, humour and murder - a great combination. The characters are enjoyable and real, even the villains. The travel details are, to me, most interesting. The murders, investigations and results are also well done. I think I’ll be looking for more of these.

    I love the characters especially Lana and Dotty and I love the travel. It feels like I'm on the tours with them, taking in the beautiful views and delicious aromas. I can see it all and smell it all. I love a good murder mystery. I solved this one before Lana did. Great cost mystery. I loved this set of books. Brilliant.

    The books have great descriptions of the places visited. The plots were believable, and the characters were the same - they got angry, or had hurt feelings, and sometimes behaved badly, in the heat of the moment. I enjoyed reading them.
