Review: A Tour to Die For

A Tour to Die For by Michelle Chouinard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Having not read the first book in this series, I didn't know what to expect. I found that it was an easy book to follow and understand without having read the first one. Though I do recommend that you do.

Capri Sanzio, 49, is the granddaughter of a serial killer who is now leading tours through San Francisco, giving serial killer walking tours. During one of the tours, a customer sees what she thinks is a murder happening. The police can't find anything wrong, but Capri has a feeling.

I love reading books that have a more mature MC and a female at that! She is likable and relatable. There is a bit of romance mixed in, and to add a little more to the story, there is a bit of San Fransico history and information on the Gold Rush Days mixed in.

A winner for cozy mystery lovers who don't want the blood and guts in their faces and romance behind closed doors.

DESCRIPTION: "In Michelle Chouinard’s A Tour to Die For, Capri Sanzio is back, giving a true crime tour her guests won’t soon forget. After all, a tour guide who specializes in serial killers knows better than most that San Francisco is a city with killer charm.

Capri Sanzio knows that when you give serial killer walking tours for a living, unexpected situations are more common than San Francisco's famous fog. So, when one of her guests claims to see a woman being attacked during a tour, Capri remains unphased. The police search the apartment in question and find no evidence of anything amiss, so they chalk it up to a false report from a true crime fanatic looking to be a part of a case. And Capri thinks they might be right, since lately her tours have been attracting even more obsessives than usual--as it turns out, finding the actual serial killer who committed the "Overkill Bill" murders didn't stop the constant questions about her grandfather's supposed crimes, it only intensified them.

But Capri would never forgive herself if someone is in trouble and she walks away. Plus, something about the whole situation has every one of Capri's investigative journalist instincts going haywire--why would someone lie about seeing an attack? So Capri starts to dig, and when her questions lead to a body, she finds herself at the center of another murder investigation."
