Meet Mrs Blossom. . .

A widower who has never left the US
A grandmother with a knack for blending in
A lottery winner with an unexpected fortune

Determined to finally see the world, she's starting with a cruise along the Seine.

Just twenty-four hours into Mrs Blossom's trip, however, a man is dead, a precious artefact is missing, and a mysterious stranger is claiming her life is in danger. Surrounded by luxury food, quaint towns and people with staggeringly high net worths, she has no idea who she can trust.

But maybe blending into the background has its perks - whoever is responsible will never see this most unlikely of detectives coming.

The plot of this book is incredibly boring and uneventful. Despite the fact that potentially exciting things happen, the author manages to describe them in a way that the reader can not get invested. The main character (a self-described “fat”, old American widow) could be interesting, funny and smart, instead she is naive, emotionally immature and thick as two planks. She could be 16 instead of 68 for all we know because her main obsession is her weight and her lack of fashion sense. Her equally boring husband gets featured way too much even though he is dead and nobody cares about him. None of the other characters have any redeeming features either and their actions make no sense. This is not a crime novel, there is no real story here, it’s not even ‘cosy’ crime because there is nothing entertaining about this book and nobody with any common sense would want to spend time with this main character in real life. It would be an insult of the highest order to compare this book to Agatha Christy’s Miss Marple as I have seen in a review somewhere, this book is as dull and lifeless as a two day old fish on the kitchen table.

Boring, dull and unlikeable characters
