Murder on the Spanish Seas

De: Wendy Church

Narrado por: Eva Kaminsky

Jesse O'Hara is profane, introverted, and not frequently sober—and has just lost another job: “a million-dollar brain and a ten-cent personality,” her last employer said.

With nothing better to do, Jesse reluctantly accepts the gift of a luxury cruise around the Iberian Peninsula. She’s not sure she can drink enough to keep her boredom at bay, but that's the least of her problems. From the very first moment of the cruise, it's clear to Jesse that something is very wrong.

Aided by her near-photographic memory, Jesse investigates a series of strange incidents on the ship and uncovers what looks like a terrorist plot in the works. But with each new layer uncovered, her perception shifts and broadens—and someone doesn’t want her poking around. For Jesse, bruised and concussed is preferable to tan and relaxed, so she ignores the mounting danger even as she closes in on the villains, who have perfectly timed their grand finale...

Murder on the Spanish Seas is a riveting, whip-smart, and smart-aleck debut thriller that will keep you on your toes just as frequently as it keeps you in stitches. A perfect story for fans of Ruth Ware and Janet Evanovich.

So. Much. Description.

Ongoing, random, descriptions: of food, furniture, weather, clothing, reminiscences that DID NOT ADVANCE THE PLOT.

The narration was just okay, the weary cynical voice was appropriate for the main character but became tedious quickly.

Easy to identify the villain.

Shame, because I was looking forward to this book.

Looking forward to where this character goes next.

As a traveler, this book had me wanting to wander, eat and drink with the characters through the various cities. The story was quick paced and great company on my runs and car-rides. More please!

I loved the intrigue and foodie experience

That was a fun book. I loved Jesse and Sam’s close knit relationship and Chaz too. I found myself drooling over the detailed foodie experiences she and Sam had while in the Basque Country. I must go!

LOVE WENDY CHURCH!!!

I have only listened to 2 of Wendy Church’s book so far but OMG I will be listening to every single one until I finish them all!! The way the story is narrated is absolutely amazing and keeps me entertained and intrigued the entire time. Wendy Church’s writing style is inviting and mysterious and I can’t get enough of it. On to the next one!
