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.
A Funny Light Read
"3. 5 stars This was such a fun read! Think of the fun murder mysteries akin to Stephanie Plum by Janet Evanovich and know that this book (along with this series in general) is similar. Not in content but stylistically with a humorous, quirky, and somewhat hyperactive main character. This book (again along with the rest of the series) would be a good read to pick up for vacation where you want to read a mystery with an element of 'lightness' to it through humour and writing style. It's light, it's easy to read, and although there's dark content (murder mystery duh) it doesn't feel graphically gruesome. I did NOT anticipate where this story was going in regards to the. . . villain. Even if I tried to predict what was going to happen, it would not have been what was eventually revealed. What a surprise. I definitely will be reading the next book in the series!"
