The books opening grabbed me. "Fiona knew the man was going to be trouble from the moment she first clapped eyes on him at Dover." And going back to the Prologue, which began, "He laid the gun on the table beside the photograph." Right away we know the author is going to tease us into a great mystery and she does. "Blood and Chocolate (The Fiona Mason Mysteries Book 3)" by Judith Cranswick is wonderful. I can't wait to get the other ones. Recommended. Five stars'Fiona Mason, Tour Manager of Super Sun Executive Travel, is escorting a party of British tourists on a tour of Germany. But not all of the travellers are what they seem. And after a murder, what looks like an attempted murder, and MI6 involvement, she has her work cut out if she wants to get them all - and herself - back home safely. Another excellent mystery from Judith Cranswick!' Geraldine Evans author of the Rafferty & Llewellyn Mysteries'Agatha Christie meets James Bond in Berlin.A missing Ukranian politician, a zealous reporter, MI6, a dead body - and all set on a tour of the Elbe Valley. This is the first Fiona Mason mystery that I've read, though actually the fourth in the series. An intriguing mystery set on a coach holiday, a particularly interesting feature is the interspersing of travel itinerary, which really adds something and further brings to life the setting. As someone who is very fond of the city of Berlin, I felt at home in this book and loved the historical detail. Set against events in the world of international politics and espionage, the cozy aspect of this mystery story worked extremely well. It looks to be a very promising series.'
