It’s Summer vacation season which means it’s the perfect time to read Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies by Catherine Mack, the first in her Vacation Mysteries series. Best selling author Eleanor Dash just wants to get through her Italian book tour and then kill off the main character of her Vacation Mysteries series. However, someone seems to want to kill the character’s real life inspiration, a handsome and infuriating con man. As life begins to imitate her books, Eleanor is enlisted to help solve the case. Theories are thrown around and rivalries, rifts, broken hearts, and more are revealed, but who is the person literally trying to get away with murder?

Foodies and mystery-aficionados alike should enjoy Mastering the Art of French Murder by Colleen Cambridge, the start of her new An American in Paris series. Tabitha Knight has recently arrived in Paris to stay with her French grandfather. Thanks to her neighbor, Julia Child, she has been learning the art of French cooking and enjoy Paris to the fullest. That is, until the pair return to Julia’s building one day and learn that a body has been found in the cellar. The victim? A friend of Julia’s sister whom they met at a party the night before. The weapon? A knife from Julia’s own kitchen. With the inspector focusing on Julia, it’s up to Tabitha to navigate the city in order to find the real killer before she or one of her friends ends up in prison… or worse.
