You guys. This book. So very much fun. It’s like if Finlay Donovan/Stephanie Plum and Ferris Bueller/The Spellmans (Lisa Lutz) had a baby.

It’s the perfect beach read and I think everyone will be talking about this one. It’s has humor, and a mystery, and a little romance, and Italy!!!

It’s set in the publishing world. Eleanor Dash is a writer on a book tour and she wants to kill the real life inspiration for her book. Well not really but she does. Then someone really is trying to kill him.

She talks to the reader both in the book and in footnotes. It gave it a fresh feeling.

There’s a lot of banter between the characters, in Eleanor’s mind and with the third wall musings with the audience.

This was pure fun. It’s entertaining and kept me wanting to never stop reading.

Elizabeth Evans narrates the audiobook and was a perfect choice. She nailed the whimsy and perfectly fit my thoughts for Eleanor. And the footnotes I mentioned, wasn’t an issue listening. They flowed seamlessly in the narrative.

I can’t believe I have to wait a year to see what happens next.

look at this great inside cover.
