Description
White Lotus meets Only Murders in the Building: a wealthy American widow’s French cruise turns into a deadly mystery in Laura Lippman's new novel.
Meet Mrs Blossom...
🇺🇸 A widower who has never left the US
👵🏻 A grandmother with a knack for blending in
💸 A lottery winner with an unexpected fortune
Determined to finally see the world, she’s starting with a cruise along the Seine.
Just twenty-four hours into Mrs Blossom’s trip, however, a man is dead, a precious artefact is missing, and a mysterious stranger is claiming her life is in danger. Surrounded by luxury food, quaint towns and people with staggeringly high net worths, she has no idea who she can trust.
But maybe blending into the background has its perks – whoever is responsible will never see this most unlikely of detectives coming...
Advance Praise
'Murder Takes a Vacation has all Laura Lippman's trademark razor-sharp insight and effortlessly absorbing writing, plus huge amounts of warmth and fun. Mrs Blossom is a pure joy, and I'm already hoping for more.' TANA FRENCH
'I genuinely loved it. Lippman's such a good writer – intelligent and literate – and at the same time knows how to write a compelling plot. I would say a page-turner if it wasn't such a cliche... I really hope that this isn't the last we've heard of Mrs Blossom!' KATE ATKINSON
'I loved this book. Playful and witty and completely absorbing. More of Mrs Blossom soon please.' ANN CLEEVES
'Whenever a new Laura Lippman comes out there is reason to celebrate!' LOUISE PENNY
