Críticas:

Praise for Janice Hamrick and "Death on Tour""""A classy whodunit, "Death on Tour" also offers a trove of Egyptology and a wealth of humor -- Christie's characters were never this smart-alecky. Hamrick plays fair with clues, and the alert reader has a fighting chance of identifying the culprit from among the cast of suspects."--"Richmond Times Dispatch"""Death on Tour" is fun, romantic and delightful, and full of fascinating bits about ancient Egypt."--"Cleveland Plain Dealer""The cozy mystery was once limited to adorable English villages and the like, but it long ago outgrew its traditional boundaries. Janice Hamrick's "Death on Tour" is a charming example."--"The Seattle Times""Hamrick does a good job capturing life on an exhausting budget tour as her snazzy if snarky amateur sleuth... investigates some fishy fellow tourists."--"Publishers Weekly""Hamrick's character-driven debut is a good mystery and a charming travelogue."--"Kirkus Reviews""" "Murder, possible smuggling, a colorful array of characters and what could be the start of a romance are vying for top billing with the wonders of Egypt in this funny and expertly plotted debut, introducing high school teacher Jocelyn Shore. Readers can only hope that Hamrick's next installment is as much fun as this one."-- "RT""Book Reviews"""

Reseña del editor:

Texas high school teacher Jocelyn Shore and her cousin Kyla are on a once-in-a-lifetime guided tour of Egypt with a motley crew of fellow travellers when the most odious of the bunch, a nosy, disagreeable woman named Millie Owens, takes a fatal fall off of one of the great pyramids. And that's only the beginning. From the guide who always seems to be off on his mobile phone having the most urgent conversations to the young woman who begs off of almost every excursion claiming to be ill to the supposed married couple who can hardly speak to each other, Jocelyn and Kyla's tour group is full of people who may or may not be exactly who they say they are. And one of them may very well be a murderer. Janice Hamrick's "Death on Tour" is a delightful debut and the beginning of a wonderfully charming cozy series featuring the determined teacher Jocelyn Shore, who always seems to get wrapped up in a mystery against her usually very sound judgment.
