Book Review: Dressed for Death in Burgundy by Susan Shea

Disclosure / Disclaimer: I received this ebook, free of charge, from St Martins Press via Netgalley, for review purposes on this blog. No other compensation, monetary or in kind, has been received or implied for this post. Nor was I told how to post about it.

Since we're talking about France today....

Synopsis:

In the sequel to Love & Death in Burgundy, Katherine Goff is at again when a body is found in place of a mannequin at the local museum.

After finding herself mixed up in a murder investigation the previous Summer, Katherine Goff’s life simply has not been the same. Her husband has been in the US recording a new album, the Burgundy region locals are finally starting to see her as a real neighbor, and Katherine has even started helping out with “tourist” excursions. It seems she’s finally found her place in the small community of Reigny-sur-Canne.

But when Katherine stumbles across a body in the local museum during a tour, she finds herself caught up once again in a whirlwind of gossip and speculation. When the police zero in on her friend Pippa as a suspect, Pippa and Katherine team up to find the real killer and clear her name.

However, the more clues they discover, the more the real killer wants them off the trail. When Katherine and Pippa start receiving threats, they must decide what they are more afraid of—the police getting it wrong, or possibly becoming the killer’s next targets.

Review:

I had not read the first book in this series, but I definitely will be doing so over the Summer! This is a fun fun chick lit style mystery, and perfect for reading while on vacation, or during Summer break, when you WISH you were on vacation! It will have you pining away for the cobbled streets and alleys of the Burgundy region! It's a tangled little mystery, with memorable characters (seriously, who hasn't wished for a rock star husband? LOL), and Susan does a great job in getting you hooked from the first chapter! Don't skip this book!
