Dine and Die on the Danube Express

By: Peter King

Narrated by: David Baker

Aboard a vintage luxury train on a voyage through Eastern Europe, the gourmet detective encounters a thoroughly modern murder.

The Danube Express was once the most famous train on the continent. Linking east and west, it was the fastest route from the Alps to the Black Sea, until airplanes and automobiles made it obsolete. When a group of savvy investors revived it in the 1970s, it became an express only in name. A five-star hotel on wheels, it is now a luxurious icon - and it's celebrating its 25th anniversary. Some of the most glamorous figures in the world have booked passage on this historic trip, and riding among them is London's gourmet detective, who has come to sample the Danube's famous cooking. But when a Hungarian actress disappears from the train, it turns out to be more than a publicity stunt. Soon it is clear that a killer lurks on the Danube Express, and plans on taking it all the way to the end of the line.

Another great Gourmet Detective Mystery!

This was a bittersweet listen-as this is the final
Mystery in the series. Again, excellent performance and intriguing mystery with obscure food references!

nauseating

too much detail, didn't need to know bread in Germany and in Alsace France has pigs feet and blood. maybe some truth to eating blood and being murderous was the authors point but I will require list of ingredients from now on. couldn't finish it
