Thank you to the author and publisher's Faber and Faber Ltd for allowing me to access an e-read ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.Mrs Blossom, widow, mother, grandmother, and now Lotto winner (thanks to finding a dropped ticket on the floor outside) has booked herself a cruise along the Seine. But far from the relaxing trip she imagined, strange things begin to happen. A missing artefact, disturbed belongings, a dead body. Just who is the mysterious Danny who claims he's trying to help!This was a cosy murder mystery set along the beautiful backdrop on the river Seine. With the many must-see sights mentioned, it's enough to have you searching for flights, that is, if the mystery doesn't put you off!It took me a while to get into this one, and was perhaps a little too 'cosy' mystery for me to start with. Although it had enough twists, especially in the second half, to leave me constantly second guessing and the ending wasn't quite what I'd thought it to be, which is always a good thing. Perfect for those who enjoy cosy mystery or are looking for a less gruesome murder.
