Murder Editorial Review
**** "Murder Takes a Vacation" by Laura Lippman has resonated strongly with mystery lovers, particularly fans of her previous works. The storyline, full of clever twists and unexpected developments, keeps readers engaged from start to finish. Centered around the character of Mrs. Blossom, a 68-year-old woman with a combination of charm, intelligence, and curiosity, the book brings forth an intriguing mystery involving art theft and an unexpected romantic angle set against the picturesque backdrop of a Parisian cruise. Readers appreciate Lippman's writing for its humor and wisdom, often noting the book's ability to entertain and create a thrilling atmosphere without the typical darkness found in many mystery novels. Mrs. Blossom's character, while described as endearing and adventurous, has drawn mixed feedback on her depth. Some readers expressed a desire for a deeper exploration of her vulnerabilities, suggesting that this could enhance the reader's connection to her character. While certain plot elements were critiqued for being occasionally convoluted and difficult to follow, the overall reception remains positive. The balance of humor, adventure, and engaging character dynamics maintains high interest, making it a solid recommendation for readers looking for an enjoyable and light-hearted mystery. Fans of Lippman’s Tess Monahan series find joy in the continuation of an older, wiser protagonist, and many are eager for further installments featuring Mrs. Blossom. The desire for this narrative to be adapted for the screen indicates the potential for broader appeal and appreciation of its unique character-driven storytelling. **
