Title: Every Time I Go On Vacation, Someone Dies
Author: Catherine Mack
Genre: mystery
Thank you, NetGalley, for this book.
Really fun book about a writer who takes a 10th anniversary trip of her first book’s release with a group of friends and fellow writers, when one member of the party claims someone is trying to murder him. Eleanor has written a series of books, set in Europe, where a private investigator, Connor, solves murders. The real-life Conner and Eleanor solved an actual murder years ago, and Eleanor decided to fictionalize it for her book. Then came nine more in the series.
And as much as Eleanor dislikes Connor these days, she can’t help but notice he might be right that someone is out to get him. However, Eleanor seems to be a target, also. Are they both destined for death? When one member of their traveling party actually does die, Eleanor has to figure out what is happening and who is the real target.
Great, snappy dialogue with beautiful descriptions of Italian food and scenery. Eleanor and her sister, Harper, are a lot of fun to follow along on the adventure. And the ending left me guessing as to who (if anyone) was the real target.
Pleasant Nights
