For some reason, serial killers are fascinating, and Capri Sanzio, a single Mom runs a tour company in San Francisco where her tours focus on serial killers out of her city. Apparently, her grandfather had been a serial killer and tourists booked her tours often. The second installment in The Serial Killer Guide to San Francisco Mysteries, A Tour to Die For where a guest on a tour she was conducting sees a woman get strangled through a window in a nearby apartment. After calling the police, no body was found, and Capri wasn’t sure if the guest was either trying to get attention or lying. Capri, who had solved a few previous cases, investigates with the help of her new boyfriend, an inspector with the San Francisco police.
Chouinard is an excellent storyteller, and weaves her tale with unexpected scenarios, slowly building suspense, and ups and downs. Most importantly, she does an excellent job of developing her characters. Capri is a likeable and believable protagonist. The supporting characters are also excellent, and as readers go along with the story, they will find the characters viable.
The prose is upbeat, and this is a semi-cozy, since it does contain some profanity, and sexual innuendo. There is, however, no graphic violence.
Readers who choose the audio book will enjoy the narrator, who is excellent and makes it easy to enjoy. This cozy is cute, but not suitable for young readers because it doesn’t follow the criteria for a real cozy. This would make a good beach or vacation read.
