Death on the Danube

DJ’s books are always reliably fast-paced and hold my attention from beginning to end. This one was no different. Death on the Danube is a fast-paced murder mystery. 3 couples from Arizona on a Danube River cruise from Germany to Hungary. There is an underlying dynamic that we discover later, and when one of the passengers in the group ends up dead, it’s up to detective Andrassy to figure out who did it. There was a twist I didn’t see coming and I’m dying to know where it leads in DJ’s future books. Overall a very enjoyable, solid mystery. No plot holes or gaps, and best of all, in my opinion, this could really happen. It’s not far fetched at all. Death on the Danube releases 3/19 and I definitely recommend it.

“Death on the Danube” by D. J. Maughan is a fast-paced psychological thriller that had me completely hooked. Now an investigator for the Hungarian Police, Peter Andrassy is called in when a body is discovered after going overboard on a river cruise—and what follows is a dangerous unraveling of secrets that kept the tension high from start to finish. I couldn’t put this one down. Hands down, this is my favorite Peter Andrassy story so far.
