Dru’s Short Musing:
When one of Capri’s tour guests sees a crime and the subsequent search yields nothing, things change when a body is later found.
The author did a great job in keeping me immersed in all aspects of this well-written multi-plot whodunit with a comfortable tone making it easy to follow from beginning to end with a few twists and surprises that enhanced my reading pleasure. The mystery was nicely done with a few suspects worthy of committing the crime and the clues were there for us to interpret. As the story progressed the intensity of the investigations rocketed up a notch and all I could do was enjoy the path the author took, especially as I had to know who was doing what to whom. I liked how Capri was determined to solve the puzzling case and kept at it even when forces were against her. I enjoyed her interactions with Heather, Ryan, Morgan and others she encountered, all that aided in her pursuit of justice. Bonus was Capri’s blossoming relationship with the detective. This was a delightfully engaging story with humor and intrigue, and I can’t wait for Capri’s next crime tour.

Book Synopsis:
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.
