Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies

This novel was so cute. I loved it and was hooked from the start! I could sympahtize with the characters so easily and really felt like I was sitting down with a friend when reading this. I felt some influence from Agatha Christie, but a modern take on it. This was also a very uniquely formatted novel with the addtion of footnotes that gave more insight into the novel. I truly felt that it was Eleanor writing the book. I really look forward to the next book in the series. I highly recommend this novel!

Absolutely loved this! I'm usually not a fan of cozy mysteries, but I was completely invested and didn't want to leave when the book was over. I had so much fun with the the fourth wall breaks and enjoyed it more because the audiobook embedded the footnotes within the story (I heard the footnotes are literal footnotes in text copies, which would've probably gotten on my nerves).
I'm a little annoyed that this is a debut book as I can't read anything else by Mack right away. Hurry up with book two!

If you're a fan of the Finlay Donovan series, I think you will probably enjoy this. It's funny and puts a unique spin on the mystery genre. I always think it's fun when the MC engages with the reader. I think there will be a lot of cozy mystery readers who will like this series.

With that said, I personally didn't enjoy this very much. The tone and humor just wasn't for me, and the mystery just felt way too obvious from the beginning.
