Ten days, eight suspects, six cities, five authors, three bodies . . . one trip to die for. All 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?
Dru’s Short Musing:
This was a fun-tastic whodunit that I could not put down until all was said and done.
This well-written, fast-paced, and enticingly intriguing whodunit had me immersed in all aspects in the telling of this drama, from the eclectic cast of characters to the snarky and engaging dialogue to the foretelling of what’s to come and to the backdrop of Italy. The comfortable tone + the footnotes made it easy to follow along with what the author intended.
The mystery was nicely executed with a slew of potential suspects with an abundance of nefarious motives including blackmail and revenge, lots of clues and staging that created a world that I could not escape. There were a few twists and turns that gave me pause as I had to re-think who I thought was behind all the mischief and mayhem. With so much going on, it was no wonder I was engrossed in every detail, which included the part where she, the narrative, is talking to me, the reader, which is brilliant and added to the appeal of this delightfully entertaining and amusing tale.
