Diane H, Reviewer

What mystery fan wouldn’t want to go on a Mystery Lovers Tour around England? Though you may have to rethink that decision when the tour owner is found dead. It really is A Tourist’s Guide to Murder but in a completely unexpected way.

Sam runs a mystery bookshop and is off to England with her great-grandmother Nana Jo and all of her best friends from the retirement home. While leaving town, Sam hears that her first book will be published! She writes British historical cozy mysteries set right before World War II. In fact, there are two mysteries in this novel: the contemporary story and the historical one.

Sam, Nana Jo and her three resourceful retirees are the heart of this cozy mystery. All are both realistic and funny, which is a hard balance to maintain. I also loved the ingenious surprises in both mysteries within the book. Overall, A Tourist’s Guide to Murder is a fun and enjoyable historical, and contemporary, mystery. 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 stars!

Thanks to Kensington Books and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.
