A review by carolmia
Dressed for Death in Burgundy by Susan C. Shea
3.0
This is a cozy mystery that takes place in Burgundy, France.
Katherine is an American living in Reigny-sur-Canne. She offers to help out with tourist excursions in the area and, while giving a tour at a museum, she and the group she was guiding bump onto a death body. From then on, Katherine and her friend Pippa must find out the murderer to avoid becoming the police's prime suspects or the murderer's next target.
This was the second book in the series. I had not read the first book and found myself at a loss sometimes, it would have been helpful if the author had provided more background story on the characters and the events from the previous book.
The setting is well described and the imagery is excellent. Although the book is described as a mystery I felt the plot spent some time on descriptions about the food and conversations with other characters that did not move the plot forward or made the story more intriguing.
Overall, it was ok. I recommend it to readers of cozy mysteries and travel books.
I received an advance copy from the publisher via Netgalley
