Sadie's best friend is killed in a hit and run accident so she has a mid-life crisis and buys a cycling tour company in France and leaves. All of this back story is sprinkled throughout the book. The story really picks up 9 months after Sadie has moved to France and her old boss and his family come for a cycling tour and to see how Sadie's new life is. The interesting part is that Sadie has known her old boss and his family almost her whole life and grew up in their carriage house.
Between some vandals that are targeting Sadie and the family friends trying to lure her back to the states, Sadie is having a hard time keeping the group on track while also trying to make sure that the blogger on this trip is having a grand time so as to leave her a good review which could make or break her new venture.
This was a lovely start of a cozy mystery series and made me feel like I could go on a cycling tour in France despite not enjoying cycle classes at the gym at all! Isn't that the way good books make you feel? Like you can be immersed in whatever is happening on the pages? Also, there is a lot of discussion of croissants and I had to be strong to not buy all of the croissants and pastries in the vicinity of my house.
Can't wait for the next in the series! Five stars!
