2025: A cruise along the Seine takes a murderous tone
Murder Takes a Vacation
What you need to know before your trail
Meet Mrs Blossom. . .
A widow 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.
Travel Guide
Cruise in Paris
If you want a cruise along the Seine, then hop on board as this boat is going there! There’s a full itinerary and we visit various spots along the way including the home of Monet and the inspiration for his work. We visit Les Andelys and then over to Rouen and Normandy war graves.
There is LOTS of atmospheric descriptions along the way and plenty of good bits about life on board.
Giverny
Impressionist painter Claude Monet lived and worked here from 1883 until his death in 1926. The artist’s former home and elaborate gardens, where he produced his famed water lily series, are now the Fondation Claude Monet museum.
