This Weekend Doesn’t End Well for Anyone by Catherine Mack #bookreview @macmillanaudio

Overview

The third in the witty and captivating series following bestselling author Eleanor Dash, who once again has to swap her sun hat for her detective hat, when a body is found at a murder mystery writing conference in the Bahamas.

Eleanor Dash can never catch a break. Not only has she had to solve two real-life murder plots in the past year, but both times it was when she was meant to be on vacation. Now she’s finally got a ticket to a relaxing weekend—an all-inclusive resort at the Bahamas where she’s speaking at a conference for murder mystery writers—but she arrives to find a body on the floor of her hotel room. Because of course she does.

With plenty of familiar faces at the resort, any one of them could have been the intended target or the culprit behind it all. Was it Oliver Forrest, Eleanor’s dashing boyfriend who’s in danger of getting dropped by his publisher because his sales are dwindling? Or Connor Smith, Eleanor’s infuriating ex-lover-turned-bestselling-rom-com-author with a sordid past of his own? Or her sister Harper, whose own stilted writing career has been a sore point for years as Eleanor’s has soared? Perhaps it’s one of the other writers also in attendance, as friends, frenemies and foes from Eleanor’s past all seem to be invited to the island.

Surrounded by mystery writers who know all too well the many ways to craft the perfect crime, Eleanor is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery and do whatever it takes to get out of this weekend alive.

Review

Eleanor has finally got a ticket to a relaxing weekend—an all-inclusive resort at the Bahamas where she’s speaking at a conference for murder mystery writers—but she arrives to find a body on the floor of her hotel room. Because of course she does.

I like Eleanor. She is a bit of a ham! She definitely keeps this story moving along with her deductions and antics.

I struggled with this rating. I love Catherine Mack (Catherine McKenzie). I have been a fan of her work since I won a copy of her first book Spin. But, I am not a fan of this series. I have read book one in this series and I skipped book two. So, I thought I would try book three. Even though it is cute, it is more of a cozy mystery. This has a lot of characters and is a bit slow in spots.

The narrator, Elizabeth Evans, is a very good Eleanor. She handles all these characters very well!

Need a quick mystery…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today!

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
