This book took the 4th wall and shattered it! I wanted a Spritzer, a big hat, and a lounge chair with a view of the Mediterranean.

"Ten days, eight suspects, six cities, five authors, three bodies . . . one trip to die for."
New to me author, Catherine Mack, has set sail on this crazy voyage called Every Time I Go On Vacation Someone Dies. Her Female Main Character, Mystery Writer Eleanor Dash, is celebrating the 10th Anniversary of her first book with a book tour curated byโฆ someone. But all of a sudden her pesky ex, Connor (or SHUT UP CONNOR) convinces her someone is trying to kill him. Then a series of weird events happen. And who invited her other ex (who she is still in love with and would like to get back together with HEY! ARE YOU READING THIS?). After a bazillion aperol and lemon spritzes and wine and sun and a dead body, yes, I said, a DEAD BODY! It gets real. But still very funny and serious.
I found this book to be great storytelling with so much humor and joy!
Read this book if you like:
๐ท Second Chance Romance
๐Murder Mystery With Cosy Vibes
๐ทMMC who is a touch & die
๐ Revenge
๐ทDescriptions of Italy
