It was highlighted as a twist on the Miss Marple template, featuring Tess Monaghan's former assistant who wins the lottery and gets drawn into a deadly river cruise.
Laura Lipman's latest novel resurrects a character from her beloved, Baltimorebased Tess Monaghan series. Murder Takes a Vacation stars Tess's former assistant, Muriel Blossom. The widowed Mrs. Blossom, as she's known, has won the lottery, and she's treating herself to a river cruise, starting in Paris. But when the handsome man who flirted with her on the plane is found dead, Mrs. Blossom's vacation literally becomes a getaway, as she tries to dodge both the police ... It would be easy to underestimate Death Takes a Vacation, to assume it's just a Miss Marpletype romp. That would be a mistake.
