Business is quiet in the travel world, so when Amy's friend and fellow travel business owner Peter asks to join forces for an around the world wake, how can she say no? The recently deceased Paisley MacGregor was a maid for several well off families and in order to hear the reading of the will, must take one last trip in memory of their beloved maid. Each stop winds up introducing us more to whichever family/couple, stories are told, ashes scattered. Naturally, since Amy's Travels is involved, there is a close call in Paris for one of the characters and then a new character seems to be the victim of a mugging in India. Back in New York, the scenes between Amy's mom, Fanny and boyfriend Marcus are too few. They add a lot of color to these stories. The book is once again broken abruptly into two parts. After the last stop in Hawaii, most of the action and sleuthing takes place back in New York. I admit to enjoying the on the road section of this story more than the last part, but it was another clever read. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:Fanny and Amy Abel, the dynamic mother-and-daughter owners of a NYC travel agency, have just booked their biggest trip yet. But with danger in the air, the itinerary may include murder... Paisley MacGregor, a maid to the rich, made a dying request to send all of her wealthy employers on a first-class wake to spread her ashes around the world. Amy has her suspicions about these "mourners," especially when one has a life-threatening "accident" at the first stop in Paris. And when a mysterious American stranger tagging along with the group has his ticket punched in the shadow of the Taj Mahal, Amy knows she may have a killer on her tour. Who was this stranger, and what's the connection to someone in her group? Digging for clues while continuing on with the trip is a lot for Amy to manage, especially when another mourner has a possibly fatal encounter with a Hawaiian volcano. Back in the States, Fanny and Amy start to piece together a secret worth killing for, but someone is hot on their trail, and ready to send them on a one-way trip--to the morgue!.

I found Dearly Departed to be too silly. Would a travel agent take ashes on an international trip without the proper paperwork (winging it seems very unprofessional and you know something is going to happen to those ashes). I wanted more substance and mystery (which was so simple to solve). It is not necessary to read the first book in the series (the author explains most of what happened). I found it to be a superficial book and a little boring (I started dreaming up my own alternate endings to the book). I give Dearly Departed 3 out of 5 stars (which means it was okay/decent). I will not, though, be reading any more books in this series. This series is just not my style.
I received a complimentary copy of Dearly Departed in exchange for an honest review. ( )
