Book Synopsis



A USA Today Bestseller

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.

A fun murder mystery

3 1/2 stars rounded up to 4. This book was a good who done it read. I did find it a little long in the sense that it took a while to get to the point. It is about Capri who does serial killer walking tours. Her grandfather was one of San Francisco's famous serial killers. She is also writing a book about him. On one of her tours a woman sees another woman in a window getting strangled. She tells Capri and they call the police. The police find nothing. Capri, being the sleuth that she is continues to investigate. So begins this very interesting story. The author has a fun writing style and you fall in love with Capri and all her sleuthing. It is a fun read with some twists and turns to make for an interesting story.

Engaging read!

What a fun and wonderful book! You wouldn't think that since it's a mystery, but it is a cozy one! The way the story plays out and the way Capri builds her suspect list was great. I liked that she was not a young thing, rather, an older woman into her second career and could use her experiences to help her navigate through the mystery. I think my favorite part was the way she and Detective Petito interacted. Romance at 45+, yes please! I love history and A Tour to Die For had lots of interesting facts about San Francisco and the Barbary Coast. History, a mystery, and a great cast of characters, what else would you want! Five stars because I was engaged from the beginning to the end!
