A Tour to Die for: A Serial Killer Guide to San Francisco Mystery

By Michelle Chouinard

A USA Today Bestseller

In Michelle Chouinard's A Tour to Die For, Capri Sanzio is back, giving a true crime tour her guests won't soon forget. After all, a tour guide who specializes in serial killers knows better than most that San Francisco is a city with killer charm.

Capri Sanzio knows that when you give serial killer walking tours for a living, unexpected situations are more common than San Francisco's famous fog. So, when one of her guests claims to see a woman being attacked during a tour, Capri remains unphased. The police search the apartment in question and find no evidence of anything amiss, so they chalk it up to a false report from a true crime fanatic looking to be a part of a case. And Capri thinks they might be right, since lately her tours have been attracting even more obsessives than usual--as it turns out, finding the actual serial killer who committed the "Overkill Bill" murders didn't stop the constant questions about her grandfather's supposed crimes, it only intensified them.

But Capri would never forgive herself if someone is in trouble and she walks away. Plus, something about the whole situation has every one of Capri's investigative journalist instincts going haywire--why would someone lie about seeing an attack? So Capri starts to dig, and when her questions lead to a body, she finds herself at the center of another murder investigation.

Fun, facts, and felonies

Main character Capri is the (granddaughter of a well-publicized serial killer) who operates a tour guide business in San Francisco. One of the tour customers spots a woman in danger but it is through a window at night and no one believes her but Capri. Then stuff gets real. there is a lot of tour guide info that made me feel as if I was back there with the group, and some really fascinating historical info that was icing on the cake for this history geek. Loved it. I requested and received a temporary uncorrected digital galley from St. Martin's Press | Minotaur Books via NetGalley. #ATourtoDieFor by @mmchouinard #TheSerialKillerGuidetoSanFranciscoMysteriesBk2 #NetGalley @stmartinspress @minotaur_books Avail Sep 23, 2025 @librarythingofficial @Goodreads @bookbub #CozyMystery #MysteryThriller #Humor #BookReview #NetGalleyReviewer #RomanticMystery #FiveStarReview #FiveStarRead #Snarky #witty #goodreads #StoryGraph #Fable #policedetective #tourfacts #investigativepodcaster #tourguide #Igeekhistory
