Every Time I Go On Vacation Vacation Someone Dies

O-M-G! Such a fun read!

I was immediately drawn to the title and had to find out more.

The narration and structure of this story is so much fun to read, despite the premise being about murder.  There are a few things very obvious from the start. 

1. Eleanor is a mess
2. Connor is a cad
3. The book tour is an accident waiting to happen

There are some Agatha Christie Hercule Poirot moments that send the read down several paths. I’d never seen a story with so many footnotes (note: the font was a little too small). That along with other approaches to bringing the reader into the story and coaxing them to solve along with the characters, kept me on my toes. 

While I didn’t figure out whodunit, I had began to wonder why certain characters were there. 

There are a couple of typos near the end:

 “Was waws going to be your motive” which I took to mean “What was going to be your motive”

“When spend the morning bandying” which I took to mean “We spent the morning bandying”

I am looking forward to reading the next adventure for the Dash sisters.

Thank you to #NetGalley  for the opportunity to do an early read and share my thoughts on the story. 

Happy Reading!

Plot Summary:

Ten days, eight suspects, six cities, five authors, three bodies . . . one trip to die for.

"Quick, captivating, and oh-so-much-fun! This delicious mystery is as spellbinding as Knives Out ."―Elle Cosimano, New York Times bestselling author of the Finlay Donovan series

All that bestselling author Eleanor Dash wants is to get through her book tour in Italy and kill off her main character, Connor Smith, in the next in her Vacation Mysteries series―is that too much to ask?

Clearly, because when an attempt is made on the real Connor’s life―the handsome but infuriating con man she got mixed up with ten years ago and now can't get out of her life―Eleanor’s enlisted to help solve the case.

Contending with literary rivals, rabid fans, a stalker―and even her ex, Oliver, who turns up unexpectedly―theories are bandied about, and rivalries, rifts, and broken hearts are revealed. But who’s really trying to get away with murder?

Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies is the irresistible and hilarious series debut from Catherine Mack, introducing bestselling fictional author Eleanor Dash on her Italian book tour that turns into a real-life murder mystery, as her life starts to imitate the world in her books.
