Synopsis: Michigan bookshop owner and mystery writer Samantha Washington is engaged to be married—but she may have to step over a few bodies before she walks down the aisle . . . All Sam wanted was to make a good impression on her fiancé Frank&’s mother, the very proper Dr. Camilia Patterson. But when Nano Jo and the lively ladies of Shady Acres Retirement Village throw a surprise bridal shower for Sam at the Four Feathers Casino—watch out! Things spin out of control faster than a roulette wheel. Fortunately, Sam knows when to fold &’em and slips back to her room to work on her latest historical mystery set between the wars, in which a houseguest meets a grim end at an English country manor. The morning after brings another rude surprise. Sam gets a frantic call from Camilia, who&’s discovered a dead body in her room. Now winning over her soon-to-be mother-in-law means keeping the good doctor out of a potential scandal and attempting to discreetly solve a murder without ruffling any feathers. For that she&’ll need the help of Nano Jo—not exactly the soul of discretion—Detective &“Stinky&” Pitt, and the ladies—because the casino killer keeps upping the ante. . . Praise for Murder on Tour&“This novel, like Burns&’s others, wipes the mind clean of anything but pure enjoyment.&” —New York Times Book Review
