This delicious mystery is as spellbinding as Knives Out."—Elle Cosimano, New York Times bestselling author of the Finlay Donovan seriesAll 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 it is, because when an attempt is made to kill the real Connor—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 competitors, 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 an irresistible and hilarious series debut from Catherine Mack, introducing bestselling fictional author Eleanor Dash on her Italian book tour where life starts to imitate the world in her books when she’s caught up in a real-life murder mystery.

"Fun, quick read. I enjoyed the plot twists and the narration."

"I appreciate the effort in this narrative, but it wasn't quite to my taste for a few reasons. I found the extensive footnotes distracting, and the mix of self-deprecation and self-appreciation lodged in them didn't help. The narrator also came across as a bit immature for my liking. I wish the mystery aspect had been better executed—it feels like the author should have trusted the audience more."
Jazmin Adams
"I liked the concept of the story but it started to go downhill for me around act 2<br/><br/>Connor annoyed me from the get go and wasn't as charismatic as I hoped he'd be. I like a good Con artist but he just fell short for me.<br/><br/>But what really took me out was the footnotes and the fourth wall breaking chapters (only two thankfully) really brought me out of the story. I think it would have been better without them.<br/><br/>I liked the conclusion and the humor was good! There was decision Eleanor made at the end that had me saying 'Why?' but c'est la vie."
Carli the bookworm
"I did not enjoy this book. I skipped several chapters at a time and still was able to keep up. I did not resonate with the main character and her inner monologue. She had too low self-esteem for me. The story was pretty good, it just could have happened a lot quicker. The quips and relevance/timeliness of the events to current reality gave it the extra star. "
Elizabeth Whiting
"What an awesome title but too bad I could care less about any of the characters in this book.<br/><br/>1. It's not funny when you're trying so hard to make it funny with ridiculous hijinks that would never actually happen<br/>2. What is up with all of the incredibly boring footnotes - omg, just why?!<br/>3. It just kept repeating itself about how Connor is a jerk - yah, we get it. Do something about it instead of just whining.<br/>4. I was sick of being in Rome - it wasn't fun the way this book writes the setting<br/>5. And have you ever stepped foot in LA - it's nothing like it was described as in the book"
