Interesting literary device. This is basically a travelogue about a group of friends on a Viking cruise on the Danube. You get details of their days touring the sites, eating the local fare, shopping for family gifts, and generally enjoying each other's company.
Except for the slightly annoying couple who prickles their attention periodically. The husband is murdered just before the end of the cruise, and more than 75% of the way through the book. That's a lot of descriptions of cathedrals and desserts.
But it is an interesting murder.

You'll like it if you're interested in Budapest or Viking cruises. The author does a nice job of describing Budapest. It gets a bit tedious with all the detailed descriptions, especially the food. The mystery part was a bit dull and confusing in how it plays out. So as a story it has problems but as a travelog it's good.

This book is a travelogue with a cozy mystery weaved in. Took notes for upcoming trip.
