I kept threatening to toss this book aside and not finish it so many times. It was very boring. Even the description of the scenic sites and food of Rio de Janeiro could not improve the unbelievable plot. The premise that the Happy Hoofers Dancers are going to solve a murder of someone they only knew a few hours in a hotel in a country they had never been in before was impossible to believe. That one of the dancers gets kidnapped by the same bad guys three times in one day is too farfetched. As a travel, cookbook, mystery novel, it fails.
