Haven´t been to Petra yet, but I can imagine this city as the perfect setting for a crime novel. Wheels of Destruction: Death in Petra by Gina Cheyne is following into Agatha Christie´s footsteps with an adventurous book where crime meets travel.
Sandy is bored to tears by her 9 to 5 job and dreams about imaginary worlds. But her life is about to change soon. An aspiring writer, she had the chance to leave England for the first time, joining a bizarre cast of characters traveling there as part of Wheelchair Warriors Holidays. And this is just the beginning of a lineup of challenging events that may include murder, botched hostage taking, police investigations...and many more - like the skilled minds of SeeMs Detective Agency playing a big role in solving the crime and finding the villain.
Additionally, the book is also touching upon the hardships of travel in a wheelchair, a topic not often approached in literary realm.
With many twists and change of situation, Death in Petra made me very curious about the end, and kept me busy trying to figure out what the next episodes will involve. There is so much going on and so many hidden personality threats revealed that I couldn´t put the book down easily.
The book is engaging and eventful and the cover has also a very good choice of colours and images.
I can only wish to have the chance to explore more adventures featuring SeeMs Detective Agency as I enjoyed their methods and investigative ways.
Rating: 3.5 stars
