Praise for the Travel Can Be Murder Cozy Mystery

"With stops in Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day, Christmas in Rome, and even a bachelorette party in Reykjavik, this [Travel Can Be Murder Cozy Mystery] 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.com, "Travel 5 Cozy Mystery Series To Satisfy Your Wanderlust"

"To travel virtually with Lana is such a good time. Thanks to the beautiful details the author gives us about each place Lana’s visits comes alive. I felt like a butterfly on Lana’s shoulder throughout the entire story seeing monuments, cathedrals, and courtyards." - Lori Caswell/Dollycas Vine Voice Review

"I love how Ms. Alderson describes the settings and sights of the book. I felt like I was in Spain for the Sema Santa (Easter) celebration." - Baroness' Book Trove Book Blog

"The descriptions of Venice ate so detailed that it feels like I'm there. The clues to discover the murderer are so well wrapped in misdirection that I was kept guessing until almost the end." - Amazon review

"I love this series so much. Lana Hansen is a genuinely likable character who feels like someone I would be friends with in real life if, you know, she wasn’t fictional. Additionally, I get to travel vicariously in each book to new destinations that I will likely never see in person." - MeezCarrie Amazon review

Iceland !

What a different kind of story. You never hear anything about Iceland but it sounds like a beautiful place. Lana on a getaway from her problems and what happens another murder. She has decisions to make concerning her professional life and personal life and her best friend Willow flies over to help her out. Great characters and another great story line .

fantastic

I love book sets. This was 7-9. Unfortunately there isn’t a 1-….yet. I am hoping for more. I love the traveling to different countries. I learn something in each book, and the are very entertaining.

Cozy doesnt need to include politics

I enjoyed books 7 and 8. Quirky but ok. Book 9 brought politics into it. As soon as I realized what was being written about I quit reading. I will not read anything from this author again.

Fun in iceland

One of the things Alderson does best is setting her mysteries in exotic locations and giving a travelogue about those locations during the book. This one takes place in Iceland.

Escapism to foreign shores

Great descriptions of places! However, Lana is the worst sleuth! I can't believe she was an investigative reporter before being a tour guide as in each book as it is clearly obvious who the killer is yet Lana is clueless!

Armchair travel and Murder

Love this series. I travel the world from home while trying to solve the murder before Lana does. Great fun while enlightening.
