What a fun and quirky debut to a new cozy mystery series! Catherine Mack delivers a sharp, witty story that’s equal parts murder mystery and playful satire of the publishing world.
Set against the gorgeous backdrop of Italy, the book follows bestselling author Eleanor Dash on a book tour filled with more drama than any publicity team could handle. Eleanor has spent years writing her hit Vacation Mysteries series, but she’s ready to finally kill off her main character, Connor—a charming con man she dated years ago and never quite escaped. The problem? The real Connor is still hanging around, and when attempts are made on his life, Eleanor finds herself tangled in a very real mystery.
The story has all the makings of a Clue-style whodunit: literary rivals, rabid fans, stalkers, even an ex who shows up unexpectedly. Every author on the tour comes with their own secrets, grudges, and motives, making the guessing game part of the fun. While there are a few bodies along the way, the tone stays firmly in cozy territory—light, witty, and perfect for beach or vacation reading.
I loved the humor and self-aware narration, and trying to piece together the clues kept me entertained throughout. Eleanor is a delightfully flawed main character—caught between the chaos of her personal life, the absurdity of her career, and the dangerous antics unfolding around her.
Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies is a charming and clever cozy mystery that blends travel, publishing drama, and murder into a sparkling package. If you like mysteries with humor, a colorful cast, and a touch of satire, this is one to pack in your beach bag.
