6.18.2025 - Murder Takes a Vacation

Murder Takes a Vacation by Laura Lippman 

Many thanks to NetGalley and William Morrow for gifting me a digital ARC of this charming story by Laura Lippman.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!

Mrs. Blossom finds a winning lottery ticket that changes her life.  She books a cruise through France with a friend, but soon finds herself meeting handsome strangers and finding herself embroiled in a theft and murder plot.  

This was just lots of fun, owing mostly to Mrs. Blossom.  It's so lovely to read about a character who is older, but still is energetic and open to life and all it has to offer.  I honestly got a bit confused with the mystery part of this book, but that's minor because it was just a fun read.  Mrs. Blossom was a character in Lippman's popular Tess Monaghan series and she is certainly worthy of her own book and even - dare I wish? - her own series.  Be sure to read the author's note at the end.
