My Thoughts:

Capri Sanzio runs a successful tour guide business around San Francisco, specializing on the true crime history of the city. Being familiar with San Francisco I really enjoyed the interesting historical information given at the beginning of each chapter!

 

In this installment, while running her business, Capri’s also working on a book based her experience solving the mystery of the “Overkill Bill” murders.  She’s caught up in another murder investigation when a woman on her tour witnesses a possible murder. She works along with Detective Petito, and they make a good team! I’m on board with this pairing!

 

Capri is also dealing with her ex-husband’s shifty business dealings, as it affects their grown daughter, Morgan. Todd’s a creep! It seems there will be more about that in the next book.

 

A Tour to Die For was just as fun as the first book! Capri’s education in investigative journalism was evident in her smart and methodical approach in searching for answers. I appreciated her tenacity! The mystery wraps up in an exciting conclusion and an interesting revelation! I’m eager for the next book!

 

As with the first book, I thoroughly enjoyed Stephanie Németh-Parker’s narration! Her smooth, calm voice is perfect for Capri! She did well with all voices, male and female in a variety of ages, seamlessly making each distinct.

4.5 Stars

Book Description:

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.
