Travel guide Emily Andrews is escorting her usual group of
Iowa senior citizens on a vacation that will again prove
more exciting than anything listed in the brochure. This
time the quirky gang is Down Under for a bus tour of
southern Australia.
As if putting up with spiders on the loose and unusual
members of the travel group, while trying to control her
own unruly bunch, wasn't enough, Emily is also pursued by
two suitors. Now, surely the mysterious death of one of the
other travelers, a botanist, can't be murder. Or can it?
From Emily's past experiences, she knows anything is
possible. Not wanting to take any chances with her seniors'
well-being, Emily starts investigating the death and the
reasons behind it. When it is finally determined to be
murder, the killer is poised to strike again.
This fifth entry in Ms. Hunter's Passport to Peril mystery
series is just as exciting and hilarious as the preceding
ones. It feels like revisiting old friends as we join
Emily, her feisty grandmother and all the Iowa seniors, as
well as the handsome Etienne, on another travel adventure.
I can't wait for the next destination to be announced, so I
can sign up for the trip.
When Emily Andrew lands in the Land of Oz -- Australia,
that is -- she and her hearty group of world-touring
seniors know they're not in Iowa anymore. Winter is
summer,
drains drain counterclockwise, and all the comforts of
home
are, well, back home. Even Emily's love life is upside
down: her darling detective Etienne Miceli has yet to
propose, while gorgeous tour director Duncan Lazarus is
vying to be more than just mates.
Emily is preoccupied calming the group's jitters about the
outback's killers, from sunstroke to snake bites. But when
a fellow traveler turns up dead, Emily fears something far
more toxic has struck: human greed. Someone has stumbled
upon a natural wonder that could turn science on its head -
-
was this priceless discovery the catalyst for murder?
Before the dust settles, a second untimely death occurs.
If
Emily can't stop a killer in their tracks, this Aussie
adventure just may be her last.
