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 twenty-fifth 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.… (más)

A delightful book. It's more of a travelogue than a mystery novel, but that is OK with me. The food and wine descriptions are entertaining. I'd have liked there to be a map to follow the train's journey.
The murder mystery is slightly over the top, but in the end it didn't matter who was the murderer.
All in all, an entertaining bit of fluff. Recommended for relaxing with a glass of wine (maybe one of the ones mentioned in the book.)
Unfortunately this appears to be the last in the series. I plan to read the previous ones though and hope they are as good as this one. ( )

I walked away from Marienplatz square, past houses with leaded windows, flower boxes filled with red geraniums, and dormered, steeply gabled roofs.
