Murder in the Medina

Murder in the Medina by Carter Fielding.
Blake Sisters Travel Mysteries Book 1.
Finley Blake thought a plum assignment in Tangier would be the perfect chance to grab some girl time with her sister, Whitt. But when a crew member from an action movie being filmed locally falls to his death, Whitt and Finley must put their heads together to figure out whether it was an accident – or murder. During an assignment in Morocco, Finley Blake, a young travel writer still reeling from a painful breakup, and her sister, Whitt, are caught in a web of human trafficking and murder. They must decide whether to play it safe or help a handsome Interpol agent uncover the pieces of the puzzling mystery that will put the murderer behind bars. Travel through the streets of Rabat, the alleyways of Tangier and the medina of Casablanca with these intrepid sleuths. This next in the series of Blake Sisters Travel Mysteries follows Whitt and Finley into the Kasbah for their meeting with death and a Tangier take-out.
A great start to a series. I loved the cover.
Good Story and characters. 4*.

Finley Blake quits her long-time consulting job to pursue her love of writing for Traveler’s Tales, an upscale travel magazine. Her sister, Whitt, joins her to travel to Morocco for her first “48 Hours In” assignment. After checking into their boutique hotel, Finley and Whitt go to the roof top bar and meet a group of fellow guests, several members of the film crew working on a movie being filmed throughout Morocco. Shortly thereafter their adventures begin. This is the first of the Blake Sisters Travel Mysteries written by a very talented writer. I am really looking forward to book #2. I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and the opinions expressed are my own.

I loved the concept of two sisters solving crime while on a work-related trip. The mystery behind the murder was interesting. The only niggle I had with the story was the characterization - somehow, I did not like the characters as much as I wanted to.
Overall, this was a good read and I am looking forward to reading more of the Blake Sisters' adventures.

My rating: 3.5/5

This was an interesting mystery which was set in an exotic location. It featured two amateur sleuths, sisters Finley and Whitt Blake. It had lots of suspense, surprises and some romance as well. I highly recommend this book to other mystery readers.
