Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies by Catherine Mack
Cozy Mystery, Humorous Fiction, 344 pages
Published April 30, 2024 by Minotaur Books
Ten days, eight suspects, six cities, five authors, three bodies . . . one trip to die for.
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.
My thoughts about Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies ~~
(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)
First line—"Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. I want to commit a homicide."
I knew from the very first line that I was going to enjoy this story and this character. Eleanor Dash and her cast of book tour group attendees turned out to be a hoot. The BookFace Ladies? Hilarious, but maybe with an agenda?
It's not all fun and games though, as suspicious things start to happen, and people start to die. As Eleanor tries to solve the myriad of crimes around her—because why not, she writes mysteries for a living—the predicaments she finds herself in made me laugh. But seriously, who is behind all the bad stuff that is happening?
Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies is the first book in a brand new series by Catherine Mack, a pseudonym for one of my favorite, must-read authors. I love everything she writes and I'm excited that she is branching out and taking on this new series. I can't wait to see what other situations Eleanor gets herself into.
I highly recommend Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies for lots of laughs and escapism. You won't regret picking this one up!
I received a copy of Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion of the book.
