Death Will Extend Your Vacation (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Unfortunately I can't rate it any lower. I am so disgusted by the author's reference to a serious mental illness in a dismissive manner that I couldn't even finish the book. The overuse of 12 step references was annoying to the point of getting in the way of the story. I will not read anything by this author again. I am making a new shelf here on goodreads for authors to never read again due to this book. Death Will extend Your Vacation, by Elizabeth Zelvin, a-minus, Narrated by Mark Boyett, Produced by Audible Inc. downloaded from audible.com.This, the latest booking the series, finds Bruce, Barbara and Jimmy on a summer vacation in the Hamptons. They are sharing a “clean and sober” house with other 12-step program participants. The first night they meet Clea. She flirts with all the men and ignores the women. The next day, Barbara routes Bruce and Jimmy out at dawn to walk along the seashore, and Barbara finds Clea’s body. She appears to have drowned. The police, initially suspicious of the death, decide it is an accident and close her case. But our threesome suspect that it is murder. When two more persons in their circle are also killed, they’re sure of it. But their snooping may well get them killed. This is as exciting as the other two books, but people move along a little bit in their character development. We find Barbara has some compulsions. She’s not just the perfect counselor. And Bruce has maybe met someone who will interest him. This is very good. I’m waiting patiently for the next one in the series.

This was a interesting mystery. It had all the right twist and turns. It was pretty darn good.
