Armchair Traveler
By Kerry Hammond
I am an avid armchair traveler and if I am waffling between two books on my very large TBR pile, I am very likely to choose the one that is set in an exotic locale. Give me a spy novel in Eastern Europe, a murder in a manor house in the Cotswolds, or something in the Scandi fiction genre that makes me want to curl up on the couch with a mug of tea (or glass of wine) and transport myself to another place.
A great story can make you feel like you’ve experienced a place you’ve never been, or met people you could never hope to meet. I often read a book set in a country I have visited because I enjoy returning to a place and remembering how I felt when I was there. When I am preparing to go on a trip, I will find books set in my destination country so that I can enjoy the anticipation and get a feel for the culture.
Mystery Most International is full of stories that take place on foreign soil. You won’t just travel to one new country, you’ll be transported from the comfort of your home to thirty-two different places; each one very different from the next. The only thing they promise to have in common is murder and mayhem.
Traveling for real is always great, but sometimes we just don’t have the time and/or budget that allows us to get away as much as we’d like. And the best part about armchair traveling? No passports or visas are required.
About Author Kerry Hammond…
Kerry Hammond decided to give up the practice of law to commit crimes—on the page. She is an Agatha Award nominated author whose short stories have appeared in several anthologies, including Malice Domestic, Bouchercon, and Sisters in Crime. Her love of travel means that her stories often take place in foreign locales she has (or wants to) visit, or while her characters are enroute to their next adventure. She’s a huge fan of the subtle surprise ending and is happiest when her readers don’t see the ending coming. Kerry also writes downloadable Murder Mystery Party games at BlameTheButler.com

NOTE FROM KERRY: My story takes place in Rome, so I have to share my favorite pasta recipe, found on this site (below). We made it “as is” and it’s delicious:
