Every Time I Go On Vacation Someone Dies by Catherine Mack

Every Time I Go On Vacation, Someone Dies by Catherine Mack is a fun mystery packed full of humor and an interesting cast of suspects, I mean characters.

The reader is thrust into the mystery as our narrator Eleanor is on a publicity book tour in Italy with her main character the dashing Connor Smith.

Most main characters are not living, breathing humans but Eleanor wrote her first book based on a real adventure and forgot to change his name.

He has since blackmailed her into giving him part of the royalties for the book which is now a bestselling series.

With her next book, she plans on killing him off in the book series, if someone doesn’t kill him in real life first.

Mack’s excessive use of footnotes, the constant breaking of the fourth wall, and a mad dash through some of Italy’s most beautiful settings make this book a joy to read.

I did figure out who did it, but Mack had me second-guessing myself the whole time, leaving enough twists to surprise me at the end.

It had everything I love in a mystery including a humorous narrator, a never-ending line of suspects, and a page-turning pace.
