The story picks up a couple of days before the last book left off to give readers a heads up about where things ended (although I strongly recommend reading the first book to get your bearings). This locked room mystery features a large cast (and their complicated relationships) who were a challenge to keep track of but if you're reading on a Kindle or Kobo, using the search option will help remember who's who.
This is an easy-going whodunnit but it lagged in a few places for me. This sequel was a little less funny, less engaging and a touch too chaotic and despite feeling like it never quite grabbed my attention, the reveal was a nice surprise.
I really enjoyed the first book and like that Eleanor continues to be a flawed but endearing character. The footnotes (and their delightful snark) make another appearance and were handled without distracting this reader and added some levity.
If you're in the mood for a mystery, check out this new addition to the series where Mack provides some wedding drama and decent twists for readers who enjoy a story with a bit of a quirky cozy mystery vibe.

Book Description from GoodReads: 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.

JETWEBHACKERS HELPED ME RECOVER MY STOLEN BITCOIN
ReplyDeleteAs a single mother, I always prioritize my two sons' education. I recently encountered what seemed like a fantastic opportunity on Instagram—a bitcoin binary expert persuaded me to invest $42,500, my savings for their school expenses, promising a return of $126,000. Excited, I didn’t realize I was being scammed until it was too late, leaving me devastated. However, I reached out to JetWebHackers, who skillfully hacked into the scammer's blockchain and not only recovered my investment but also the promised profits. I am incredibly grateful for their support during this tough time. Thanks to JetWebHackers, I can now provide for my sons' education without that financial burden.I urge others to research thoroughly before investing and share my story to prevent similar mistakes.

ReplyDeleteI recently fell victim to a bogus Bitcoin investment scheme that defrauded me of $320,000. This added a great deal of stress to my already challenging health concerns, since I was also dealing with the cost of cancer surgery. I spent hours investigating and speaking with other victims in an attempt to get my money back, and it was through a Google post that I learned about Wizard James Recovery's stellar reputation. I just learned about Wizard James Recovery's exceptional reputation after countless hours of study and advice-seeking from other victims.Because of their positive client testimonials and good recovery record, I made the decision to get in touch with them. That this would be the turning point in my battle against bitcoin theft was unknown to me. Their knowledgeable staff helped me get my missing bitcoin back. Despite the complexity of the process, Wizard James Recovery's dedication to using the newest technologies made sure that everything worked perfectly. I strongly advise anyone who has been duped by cryptocurrency to use their services. For assistance, contact Wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com OR Call/WA Number +447418367204
ReplyDeleteWe want to join the early investors who are making large sums of money and quick gains on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Unless you get up in the hands of dishonest brokers, everything above is accurate. This was my predicament till I paid this cryptocurrency platform a total of $120,450 in bitcoins without fully realizing it was a scam; they kept asking for more money while not providing me with my money when it was due. Even though I was going through a really bad moment, I happened to come across a post about WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY when I was online. The fact that such a recovery might be completed in a few days shocked me. I provided them with all the documents they requested.
ReplyDeleteAll of my crypto assets were recovered, and they are a highly esteemed organization. I sincerely appreciate you James.

I want to take the opportunity to tell you about my wonderful experience working with Wizard James Recovery. I wasn't sure at first whether I could get my stolen bitcoins back. But because of their skill and knowledge, I was able to get my money back in full. Regrettably, scams in the bitcoin space, particularly those involving fraudulent investment platforms, affect a lot of people. I do caution, though, that not all recovery services are trustworthy. Due to a dishonest site, I personally lost $65,000 worth of Bitcoin from my Binance account. Wizard James Recovery is the most experienced and successful recovery company if you have had a comparable loss and are thinking about coin recovery. After gaining access to my wallet, Wizard James Recovery Service helped me retrieve my stolen money in less than a day. Many recovery services might not be reliable, but theirs was not only a timely service, but also incredibly competent and efficient. As a result, I heartily endorse Wizard James Recovery. Contact them if you need help locating your lost cryptocurrency; they complete their work efficiently and effectively. Be cautious and watchful when dealing with cryptocurrency.

The team finally gave me the news I had been expecting for after three restless nights of concern and anxiety. As soon as I received the email, I checked my wallet balance and saw that $619,212 USDT was there. That day was the most alive I've ever felt, as if WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY had given me a second lifeline. When I reflect on everything, I see that if I had followed my instincts, I could have avoided all of this. I wish I had heeded the advice to trust my instincts. I became interested in this binary options strategy last year since it offered low risk and consistent yet steady earnings. Something didn't feel quite right; It felt a little strange, and I secretly questioned the opportunity, but since I mentioned "opportunity," I chose to give it a try in the hopes that I would be persuaded. At the time, I had just received a small inheritance, which I felt should be put to good use. We began very modestly, which convinced me. Despite the modest profits, the business was stable as promised. I increased my investment to boost my returns because I thought I was in good hands. Everything changed when I decided it was time to withdraw money I had saved for a dream project because my balance had climbed dramatically four and a half months later. To my biggest surprise, it turned into one excuse after another, and when they had me paying endless fees at the withdrawal stage, I finally understood it was all a well-planned fraud. However, the harm was already done; I had fallen victim to an online fraud, and there didn't seem to be much I could do about it. I felt powerless until a very close friend recommended that I seek assistance from WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY. I am grateful to him for this recommendation, as it was the catalyst for everything to happen. I also want to express my sincere gratitude to the team; you guys are really appreciated. Don't give up on getting justice if you're in that dark place; Contact information is provided at wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com.
ReplyDeleteHello, I am Aaron Salva from Stockholm, Sweden. I want to share my experience with internet scammers. I lost about Euro 155,400.00 to a fake crypto investment scam. They posed as an investment company that could deliver a certain percentage in returns if you deposit your Bitcoin with them. At first, it seemed real, it worked twice. I didn't realize they set up a bot (robot) that will completely shut down your account after you have decided to invest a higher amount. So I couldn't access my crypto account anymore. I contacted customer service and they told me about an unending website upgrade. To cut the long story short, it was a scam and I was able to do research and saw a comment about a similar experience with a bitcoin scam, and how WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY help a victim recover back her stolen crypto within 72 hours, I decided to contact them because I was desperately in need of help to get back my life savings. They asked me some questions regarding the investment, I told them and they asked for my bitcoin wallet address, which I provided for them. To my greatest surprise, they helped me recover my invested crypto back. have you been scammed of your Crypto or Bitcoin? Do you need a reliable hacker to help you with anything related to hacking? Contact them via email at wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com or WhatsApp Number: +44 (741) 836-7204, WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY is trustworthy and they are always ready to help you out.

I saw an opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency about two months ago and I took my chance. I contacted a broker who I saw videos on youtube and I invested a huge sum of money around £665,211 which was deposited using Bitcoin with hopes to gain massive returns on my investment. I kept tracking my portfolio and it was increasing daily on the website. It made me excited and confident. Fast forward to 30 Days after, which was supposed to be my payout date, I tried to make a withdrawal as I needed money to foot my bills and buy my new house, but the broker insisted that I continue to invest or will have to pay some fees to withdraw my funds. That was very disappointing to hear, because it was all going smoothly when I deposited the funds. Eventually, I paid the fees which was about £45,800. I was desperate now because according to my portfolio, I had made about £1,512,400. Now you see why I was willing to pay the fees. It turned out it was a scheme to keep asking me for more money for one thing or the other, like Taxes, miner fees and so many others. I declined, and instead I won’t pay more. They locked my account for several weeks. A month after, I saw a post on Quora about GHOST CHAMPION HACKERS which stated they were capable of getting my money recovered. With a little faith in me, I contacted them immediately, and discussed my situation, and sent all the information I had. In less than a week, I was able to recoup my BTC. I praise the universe for sending them my way. I wish to recommend them to everyone out there. they are capable of recover any crypto coins Bitcoin, Usdt ,Eth, Dogecoin, now i have my funds back with there guidelines and skills you can always contact them via EMAIL : ghostchampionwizard @ gmail.com Telegram : https://t.me/WizardGhosthacker
