Sometimes things align so perfectly it’s hard to believe they’re true

Sometimes things align so perfectly…
Lucy Stone, a part-time reporter at her local newspaper takes a vacation to London with three of her good friends and instead of relaxing, she complains the entire plane ride and then trouble ensues.
From Piccadilly to the sunset at Stonehenge, Lucy’s mind circles and sways from wondering if she’s making mountains out of molehills about George’s death to wondering if he had actually been murdered in a conspiracy of 8.
This took us on a tour through the promised land. There was Harrod’s, Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the rolling green hills of the untouched countryside. And finally - tea! I’ve always wanted to visit Europe and London is one of the places I’d like to go. This read helped my craving. I felt like I was right there with Lucy and her trio of girlfriends. It was great!
The neat thing about this book was that it didn’t focus solely on the death of George Temple, rather it was all about Lucy enjoying herself. It also involved Lucy making some very important, life-changing decisions.
Next is Book 18, Chocolate Covered Murder.
