What to expect

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?

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.

Critics Review

Elizabeth Evans masterfully voices successful crime novelist Eleanor Dash, listeners’ new best friend, who gossips about all of the people and craziness around her. Dash’s behind-the-scenes insights on writing and publishing, along with her plot notes for her next book, add depth and humor to this story. She even challenges listeners to identify the murderer before the big reveal.
