Strangers In Company by Jane Aiken Hodge

Somewhat of a slow read. I enjoyed The Winding Stair and a few other Jane Aiken Hodge books a little more. But oh well. Since Marian is traveling in Greece on a tour bus there is a lot of mythology in this book as the tour guides go on about what they are seeing. And as many accidents that were going on I think this is one tour that I would be trying to get out of a fast as I could.

When Marian Frenche signed on as a tour companion to rich, young, unhappy Stella Marten, she was unaware that she had taken her first step on a journey into terror.

The tour of Greece started out peacefully enough. Then within a few days one of the members was killed by a strange fall in a darkened grotto. An unfortunate accident they said. But Marian was not so sure. She began to experience a chill of apprehension. She could feel the evil vibrations that were slowly turning the trip into a nightmare.

Two more people had accidents. Then sudden death struck again.

Now Marian was certain there was a murderer hidden among the innocent tourists. And she was equally certain that she had somehow become the next target....
