#2 in Mystery / #1 in Literary / #17 in Fiction

When his Uncle Rex dies in Mexico, Special Agent Dave Fletcher is shocked.

When he learns that Rex changed his will at the last minute to give his entire estate to Masie, a woman Dave has never met, he is suspicious.

But when he discovers that Masie was the first on the scene to find the body, he buys a ticket to Cancun to learn the truth. The more Dave learns, the more difficult it is to decide whether Masie is the most amazing woman he’s ever met or a cold-blooded killer.

Then Dave's long-lost brother, Hensley, the only other living relative of Uncle Rex, resurfaces to provide unexpected and unwanted help, stirring up decades-old resentments and attracting the attention of the killer. Will the brothers kill each other and save the murderer the trouble?

5.0 out of 5 stars Misleading title but full of surprising plot twists!
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2016

The title suggests either a guide to full-time travel or an account of the author's travels, not a murder mystery with many surprising plot twists. The main character is an about-to-retire Secret Service agent named Dave Fletcher who three days before his last day finds himself the subject of an internal investigation for ties to a drug cartel, crimes for which he could be spending his "golden years" behind bars instead of as head of the P.I. agency he's long dreamed of opening. On the same day or the next his beloved Uncle Rex unexpectedly dies, Dave's long-lost ne'er-do-well brother Hensley arrives out of the blue (incorrectly) expecting to take up permanent residence in Dave's palatial Austin home, his long-time girlfriend is pressing for a permanent commitment, and Uncle Rex's attorney informs him that Rex has left his entire $200 million estate to a pretty tour guide named Maisie at a resort in Cancun, Mexico. A woman Rex had only known for a day. How Dave sorts all this out while bouncing between Austin, Philadelphia and Cancun without landing behind bars or getting himself killed will keep a reader turning the pages to find out what happens next.

Dave Fletcher, retiring FBI agent, is in a world of trouble. He is being framed, his Uncle Rex dies and a few hours before his death he changes his will to leave his millions to an unknown nurse in Cancun. His brother who he's been estranged from for 30 years shows up on his doorstep and he's having problems committing to his girlfriend.

I found the characters real. I found Dave singularly focused, not sharing things with those around him sometimes to his own detriment. Hensley, Dave's brother, a carefree wanderer who I found tedious at times but in the end comes through for Dave in the end. Masie is the nurse that was there when Dave's uncle, Rex Stone, died in Cancun. She is a bit naive and Dave's main suspect for Rex's murderer.

Endless Vacation is well written.....As the story goes on more layers of subterfuge are added making it more and more interesting.

For anyone who loves mysteries I would recommend Endless Vacation. I am definitely going to check out more by Brad Whittington.

This book was provided to me free for review purposes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Slightly Tedious and Ultimately Unsatisfying

David Fletcher, special agent for the Secret Service, is about to retire when Rivera, a cartel member, frames him by opening up offshore accounts in his name and putting 20,000 in cash in his airplane.

Now we move on to what seems like a completely different story involving Dave's brother Hensley and rich Uncle Rex. Ultimately they are connected in an amorphous way. Uncle Rex changed his will shortly before dying and left his vast fortune to a nurse named Masie, whom he just met. Dave suspects that Masie killed his uncle and he and Hensley, go to Endless Vacations where Masie works to find out what happened. Dave is surprised to discover that Masie is a nice and altruistic woman (and the most interesting character in the book). But is she guilty?

The stories finally connect and I don't want to give spoilers, but I did not find the resolution satisfying. The book ends far too quickly and it seems that the author should have added a final chapter.

5.0 out of 5 stars An ideal mystery read

A handsome investigator, a dysfunctional family with a wealthy scion whose been murdered, a beautiful female suspect, only this time it's not Dashiell Hammett with The Maltese Falcon, it's Brad Whittington with Endless Vacation, and the investigator is part of the dysfunctional family.

Retiring Secret Service agent Dave Fletcher and his estranged brother Hensley spar from Austin to Cancun as they try to solve the mystery around their wealthy uncle's sudden demise. The mysterious Masie becomes linked to the mystery, and more, thanks to some inexplicable steps their uncle took just before his death.

This is the best kind of mystery for my taste. It's a pleasant read, whisking the reader to realistic and interesting locales. It keeps things interesting with some changes in time and insight into multiple well-drawn characters. It doesn't hide critical information from the reader - you can get a sense of the solution before the end, though it's certainly not given away - but it produces a logical and rewarding conclusion whether you've guessed the mystery's resolution or not.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid story, good writing
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2014

The storyline here involves a soon to be retired Federal agent, and the mystery surrounding the sudden death of his rich, eccentric uncle. Good supporting characters- long-lost, black sheep brother who turns up after many years without a word. Loyal girlfriend who pitches in to help.

My cheif criticism of the book, is that it has too many subplots. and back-story fllashback sections. We spend too much time dithering around in the brotherly dynamics between Davison, and Hensley. Story would be stonger with less of that. Then the subplot around Davison being set up for a fall by a guy -drug runner type, he bought a plane from. Come on!!! As if that could ever happen. Again, this really added nothing to the main plot.

A clever twist at the end pulls this one up from a three and gets it a four. Not gonna give it away but you never see it coming.

Bottom-line, very readable and well written story- save for what i mention above. IT will entertain you and i wouldnt mind seeing more of the Davison character.

5.0 out of 5 stars I read the Fred Books and enjoyed them. I expected this to be similar

I read the Fred Books and enjoyed them. I expected this to be similar. What a surprise! This is a complete departure from those books. This was edge of seat exciting most of the way through. Just a short synopsis:
Dave and his brother have some issues that go back to Dave's childhood, when his older brother left home and never returned. Their parents are dead, and besides each other, all they have is Uncle Rex. When Uncle Rex appears to have been murdered, and an hour before his death changed his will leaving everything to a stranger the uproar begins. There are a lot of twists and turns, and just when you think the good guys have it in the bag, WHAM, here it goes again.
I am going to go back and finish the Fred series, but it is going to seem pretty dull after this book.

The book takes a bit of getting into but it's worth persevering for the first few chapters. What follows is a captivating story with an unexpected ending. A good read.
