Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies
(2024)(The first book in the Vacation Mystery series)
A novel by Catherine Mack
Ten days. Eight suspects. Six cities. Five authors. Three bodies. One trip to die for.
Eleanor Dash, bestselling author of the Vacation Mysteries series, is on a book tour along the gorgeous Amalfi Coast when life starts imitating art as her ex-boyfriend (and book protagonist) Connor Smith is targeted by a killer.
Eleanor’s sleuthing skills are about to be put to the ultimate test as – among literary rivals, rabid fans, a crazed stalker and another ex-flame on tour with her – suspicions are flying faster than paperbacks off a bestseller shelf. But who is really trying to get away with murder?
Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies is The White Lotus meets Only Murders in the Building and the first in an irresistible and whip-smart mystery series.
Eleanor Dash will return in the next book in the Vacation Mysteries series from Catherine Mack, No One Was Supposed to Die at this Wedding.
'This book is fabulous! A hilarious and fun romp' - Liv Constantine, author of The Last Mrs. Parrish
'Quick, captivating and oh so much fun!' - Elle Cosimano, author of Finlay Donovan is Killing It
'A madcap Italian odyssey' - Jessa Maxwell, author of The Golden Spoon
Genre: Cozy Mystery
