This was #2 in the series and we find Capri mixed up in another mystery. Possible romance with the detective made it fun. And a good mystery!

In A Tour to Die For, Michelle Chouinard brings us back into the darkly delightful world of Capri Sanzio, San Francisco’s true crime tour guide and amateur investigator. Now juggling her tours of infamous local crimes and a new true crime podcast, Capri is never far from something suspicious.

When a tourist spots what appears to be a violent attack through a window mid-tour, Capri calls the police, and finds herself once again pulled into a murder investigation. This time, the case is more chilling than ever. A young woman is found dead under strange circumstances, and Capri is determined to uncover the truth.

With rich San Francisco history woven throughout and a dash of potential romance, this book is smart, suspenseful, and a ton of fun. A must-read for true crime lovers who like their thrills with a side of relics and red herrings.

A Tour to Die For by Michelle Chouinard is an engaging, cozy mystery with just the right touch of romance and humor. As the second installment in A Serial Killer Guide to San Francisco Mystery series, it brings back Capri Sanzio, our intrepid walking-tour guide, landing her in another intriguing mystery.
This time, while leading one of her infamous serial killer tours, a participant claims to have witnessed an assault. But when the police find no initial evidence, Capri refuses to let the mystery drop. Naturally, she can’t help but dig deeper into the events of that evening, leading to an engaging and well-paced investigation.
One of my favorite aspects of the novel is how Chouinard weaves in rich San Francisco history and atmosphere—it really enhances the story without feeling overwhelming. And Capri’s evolving relationship with Detective Petito adds a fun layer to the plot, making it even more enjoyable.

Thank you NetGalley and Minotaur Books for the advanced reader copy. This is my honest review.

Book Tour with TBR AND BEYOND TOURS for
Out Of Step and Into You by Ciera Burch
Pub Date May 20, 2025
Genre YA Romance
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Synopsis:

You can’t outrun love.

Taylor and Marianna were each other’s whole world – best friends, running partners, practically sisters – until Marianna moved away and Taylor promptly ghosted her. When the former best friends turned rivals end up on the same cross-country team three years later, everything is a competition… and a reminder of old feelings, as well as blossoming new ones.

Marianna runs because she’s angry.The oldest child of a single mother, she knows all about responsibility – for her siblings, at her part-time job. She just has to stay focused and be faster than the past nipping at her heels if she wants to secure a new, brighter future. With or without Taylor.

Taylor runs to prove herself. The only child of a Divison 1 athlete, she’s no stranger to high expectations. With enough effort, she knows she can immortalize herself with a state record and make her parents proud. Then, she can discover her own passion. She definitely doesn’t have time to untangle her feelings towards Mari.

💭 Personally I thought this was a cute, fast read about the trials of friendship and the missteps that can occur due to miscommunication. Although I'm not really a fan of the miscommunication trope, for this age group it's easier said than done. The author did an amazing job writing this story from the perspective of teenagers navigating life on their terms. I loved how she talked about the expectations single parents sometimes put on the eldest kids to help take care of rhe younger siblings and how unfair and overly used it be. They have to respect the fact that all kids no matter their age deserve to be kids too and should not have to carry the burdens of the parents decisions. I thank Ciera wrote a great story and she'll be one I'd recommend to my teens.

Thanks NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I loved the first book in this series, and so I was excited to read the second one. It was definitely action-packed with an interesting cast of characters. If you like the Finlay Donovan books, I think you’ll like this one. There is an interesting twist or two at the end, but I was hoping for a little more when everything finally came together. Still a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read for me. Check this book out when it’s released in September 2025.

Kindle Copy for Review from NetGalley, St. Martin's Press and Minotaur Books.

I received a free, advance copy of this book and this is my unbiased and voluntary review.

Capri serial killer tours are a hit even with serial killers. You never know what to be expected as the truth can get blurred. Once again she will cross the line. It’s a mystery that will keep you on your toes throughout.

A Tour to Die For was an enjoyable murder mystery following Capri and her touring business. I enjoyed this book as much as I enjoyed the first novel of the series. I did find this specific story to be more interesting given the history of San Francisco. Capri’s character was slightly annoying at certain points throughout the book. The plot felt very cyclical in that Capri would make a poor choice concerning her safety, her friends and family would worry about her, and she would promise to be more careful while also continuing the cycle over and over again. These repetitions of the plot did make the novel read a little slower, and I skipped some descriptive paragraphs to move the plot forward. Overall, not a bad book! Decent mystery and something slightly cozy to read as a palate cleanser.

I wasn't sure what to make of this book because I had not read the one before this title. I liked it, but I felt myself zoning out during some of it and had the urge to skip ahead. It just didn't keep my full attention. I like the cover and the concept of this storyline so much. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

I had the privilege of being an ARC for this book and it did not disappoint. Im so glad we got another murder mystery with Capri and her growing into her detective skills. I cannot wait to see where her next adventure takes her and see her relationship grow with the detective.

I loved this book! It is the second in the series but I definitely think it can be read as a stand alone.

Capri gives serial killer walking tours. A guest claims she saw a woman being attacked during the tour. Police check the apartment but find no evidence. Capri decides to do something digging herself. Which leads her to a body and now she is at the center of another murder investigation.

This book has the perfect amount of twists, turns and drama! I loved how fast paced this book was! I’d love to go on a tour with Capri, she seems fun! I love a fun cozy mystery here and there! Looking forward to the next book!

Thank you NetGalley, Michelle, and St.Martins Press for the eARC!

Thank you NetGalley, Stephanie and St.Martin’s Press for the eARC!!

What a delightful read! While I love a good lighthearted mystery, I haven’t read as many as I should for whatever reason. I’m glad that this e-ARC came my way. Thanks NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for introducing me to Capri and her quest to become an investigative journalist. While I loved Capri’s bold and witty personality, I TRULY loved the details about San Francisco. Although I’ve visited, I definitely want to go back and check out some of these places! I felt like I missed some details on Capri’s character but now realize that this book is part of a series which probably provided more background details about her in a previous installment. Nonetheless, it was still an enjoyable read that kept me guessing until the very end. I certainly will go back and read the first book as I enjoyed the writing style and flow of this author. Would definitely recommend!

A Tour to Die For is a twisty, fast-paced mystery that keeps you guessing from start to finish. With a long list of shady suspects and secrets around every corner, it’s like a guided tour of San Francisco’s darkest corners—plus murder. The characters are fun and layered, the stakes feel real, and there’s even a new love interest to keep things interesting. (I received an advance reader copy and all opinions are my own.) If you love a good whodunit with heart, humor, and plenty of surprises, this one’s a must-read.

The sequel I have been waiting for! Capri is back as our favorite tour guide in San Francisco showing off serial killer walking towards and she gets wrapped up in another investigation. The story is fast paced. There’s so many twist and turns. Her dynamic with the other characters is great. I really enjoyed reading this..

i loved this one ! It was cute and everything I wanted for a return novel. I love the mystery and how cute the setting is

Second in the series. You don't need to read the first but the first mystery is talked about here. I lived in SF for years so I love that she gives the serial killer tours there. This story had a bit more romance than I Like in a book but its a fun read as Capri solves new mystery as she advances her podcast.
Give a copy by Negalley opinions are my own.

This second entry in the 'tour series' is enjoyable. Follow ups can be hard but I thought the mystery was engaging which was important since the one in the first book had higher, personal stakes, I was concerned that I wouldn't be as invested on this one. But between the murder, a new romance and a a little dram with the ex husband, I flew through this book.

This was a super fun mystery that I couldn’t put down! While on a tour, Capri finds herself in the middle of a murder - sort of. But there is no body, no signs of struggle, and no one is home. Now acting as an investigative journalist, she follows leads and clues to figure out what really happened. I really enjoyed the pace and dialogue in this book, and the sweet banter between Capri and Petito. The dynamics between Capri, her family, and the suspects all make for an interesting and fun read.

5 ⭐️ - I loved the first book in this series (The Serial Killer Guide To San Francisco) and couldn’t wait for this release. I’m so honored to have been able to early review it because WOW - sooo good!

The story follows Capri in the weeks that follow the resolution of the first book - where Capri navigates the popularity of her tours driven by the proven innocence of her grandfather, the increased interest in her true crime investigative podcast, and of course, her newfound partnership with a certain detective. A guest on one of Capri’s tours witnesses a crime and Capri takes it upon herself to find the truth - I laughed at Capri’s amateur sleuthing and her recognition that she indeed was not an expert. Her journey to exploring investigative journalism was fun and entertaining. The ending had my jaw dropping. Overall, I really enjoyed this and hope there will be more in the future!

** Thank you NetGalley and St Martins Press | Minotaur Books for the Advanced Copy for my honest review **

A wonderful read!
This novel drew me in from the very first page and kept me hooked until the end. The characters were vibrant and relatable, the writing was engaging, and the story had just the right balance of heart and humor. Highly recommend!
Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing an e-ARC of A Tour to Die For. This was a solid 3.5 cozy murder mystery. Not the most original concept, but an enjoyable read. While it can be read as a stand alone, reading the first book in the series would definitely help provide some additional background on the characters and context.

I enjoyed the budding romance between Capri and Detective Petito. He’s certainly an improvement over Todd. I’d probably read the next book in the series to find out what’s going on with Todd and his sketchy dealings. Wish there was a bit more spice, but get that the romance wasn’t the main focus of the book.

I loved how the book incorporated information on the history of San Francisco. It fit well with Capri being a tour guide.

I don’t really buy Capri as a budding investigative journalist. She sometimes works on a book and sometimes does a podcast but doesn’t seem fully committed to either.

The pacing of the book slowed down for me in the middle and then suddenly wrapped everything up. I didn’t love the ending or the reasons behind why people did what they did. And I wish Leeyah’s neighbor had come back at the end of the book or we could’ve seen a reaction from the other characters to the ending. Overall, it was a good read but wouldn’t add to the top of your TBR.
