No One Was Supposed to Die at This Wedding

The Vacation Mysteries, Book 2

De: Catherine Mack

Narrado por: Elizabeth Evans

The second in a witty, USA Today bestselling series following author Eleanor Dash as she goes from wedding guest to murder mystery investigator at her best friend’s wedding on Catalina Island.

Attending your best friend’s wedding should be a piece of (wedding) cake, but not for Eleanor Dash, bestselling author of the Vacation Mysteries series. Because murder seems to follow her every time she goes on vacation and is definitely her uninvited plus-one to the special occasion.

Emma Wood, Eleanor’s best friend since childhood, is starring in the movie adaptation of When in Rome, Eleanor’s first novel. Emma is also marrying Fred Winters, a major movie star and Emma’s co-star, who just happens to be playing Connor Smith, Eleanor’s ex and leading man of the series.

Filming wraps and they invite the whole cast and crew to their wedding at nearby Catalina Island. There may be a storm headed their way—because of course there is—but nothing will stop their nuptials . . . that is until Emma receives a note that says “Someone is going to die at the wedding.”

Eleanor is a professional at this point, and she’ll do everything she can to uncover the murderer so true love can prevail . . . before it’s too late for her and the rest of the storm-trapped wedding party.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Fast and funny... Mack complements the twisty plot with Eleanor’s brisk and biting first-person narration, chock-full of amusing asides (often in footnotes) that examine the movie business and the craft of mystery writing. This one goes down smooth.”—Publishers Weekly

“A zany, madcap murder mystery to please fans of Catherine Mack's series debut.”—Nita Prose, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Maid and The Mystery Guest

“Eleanor Dash is at it again, breaking the fourth wall with her signature wit and sarcasm in this entertaining whodunit a la Agatha Christie that'll leave you guessing until the very end.”—Jeneva Rose, New York Times bestselling author of The Perfect Marriage

No One Was Supposed to Die at This Wedding

Eleanor, bestselling author of the Vacation Mystery series seems to have murder follow her every time she goes on vacation. This time it is following her to best friend’s wedding. Emma, Eleanor’s best friend is set to marry her co-star on Catalina Island after filming wraps on the move adaptation of Eleanor’s book “When in Rome”. But with a storm coming in and Emma receiving a note saying “Someone is going to die at the wedding.” Will Eleanor be able to uncover the murderer so the wedding can go on.

I really enjoyed this cozy mystery. It had me laughing the whole time, and rooting for Eleanor and Oliver. If you are looking for a fun, lighthearted mystery to keep you guessing then this is it.

This is book two in the Vacation Mysteries series, but could be read as a standalone. I am hoping for a book three and looking forward to what Eleanor could get up to next.

I listened to this on @audible. Elizabeth Evans did a great job narrating and bringing the characters to life!

So Good

The story was so good. Enough twists and turns to keep you off kilter but enough clues that you may be able to figure it before the end of the book. The writing was terrific and the story engaging. The narrator was awesome and I will need to listen to more books she narrates. The ending hints at a book 3 and I am excited.
