Author, amateur sleuth, and bookstore owner Samantha Washington finds herself on a tragical mystery tour while visiting the land of Miss Marple and Sherlock Holmes in the sixth Mystery Bookshop Series installment from V.M. Burns. Sam joins Nana Jo and her Shady Acres Retirement Village friends Irma, Dorothy, and Ruby Mae on a weeklong trip to London, England, to experience the Peabody Mystery Lovers Tour. The chance to see the sights and walk the streets that inspired Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a dream come true for Sam--and a perfect way to celebrate her new publishing contract as a mystery author. But between visits to Jack the Ripper's Whitechapel district and 221B Baker Street, Major Horace Peabody is found dead, supposedly of natural causes. Despite his employer's unfortunate demise, the tour guide insists on keeping calm and carrying on--until another tourist on their trip also dies under mysterious circumstances. Now it's up to Sam and the Shady Acres ladies to mix and mingle among their fellow mystery lovers, find a motive, and turn up a murderer...

Samantha, Nana-Jo and the Shady Acre gang are headed to England to take part in the Peabody Mystery Lovers Tour where some of the greats such as Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle walked, lived and wrote.
While on the tour, it seems murder wants to take the forefront of their fun as Horace Peabody is found dead. Now, far from home and their vacation on hold, it's up to Samantha and the girls to do what they do best...get nosy and get to solving the crime.
Man I missed this series!! I just love the characters, the banter between them and the fun they have. The cozy-within-a-cozy is great too as you can see Samantha's mind at work solving the real mystery while she writes. So the question now is...how long is the wait for the next one
