Death of a Travel Advisor

Read this quickly to the end. Great characters and mystery! Love the travel advisors Gabi and Sophia. Can’t wait to see what future mysteries await them.

Saltzman's vivid descriptions and authentic portrayal of the travel world make this book a real gem .The plot is full of twists and turns that keep you hooked from start to finish. I couldn't put it down!! Highly recommend!

Even though it was a short book, it was a bit hard to get through. Nothing real special.

I read a lot of cozy mysteries. Although this book has a good storyline, I did not enjoy it as much as some other cozies. The characters are interesting and complex, but quite a bit of the story focused on the protagonist's aunt dying from pancreatic cancer. It added a depressing tone to the book and took away from the mystery storyline. There was also repeated emphasis on why the the main character and her peers should be called travel advisors instead of travel agent. To me this was an irrelevant point and took away from the mystery sequence of the story. When I read a cozy mystery, I expect the main focus to be on the mystery storyline with one or more minor threads that branch off into other facets of the characters lives. Unfortunately, in this book the minor threads were major enough to both distract and detract from an otherwise decent story.
