USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR

Ellison Russell wanted a decorator, not a corpse. Too bad she finds Mrs. White in the study killed with a revolver. Things go from bad to worse when she finds Mr. White in the dining room killed with a candlestick. With so many bodies, is it any wonder Detective Anarchy Jones’ new partner considers Ellison a suspect?

With the country club gossips talking a mile a minute, an unexpected cocktail party, a visit from Aunt Sis, and a romantic decision, Ellison hardly has time to think about murder. Unfortunately, the killer has plenty of time to think about her.

My Thoughts: 

Pretty much every new Country Club Murder mystery I read I proclaim my new favorite and Watching the Detectives is no different!  Right from the beginning I was completely sucked in.  And it was hard not to be because within in the first 20 pages or so poor Ellison is already tripping over a body.  Her mother is not amused.  And neither is handsome detective Anarchy Jones or his new partner the decidedly less handsome and nice Detective Peters.  The mystery is excellent and thoroughly entertaining.  What captivated me more in this book is the issues of social justice that arise.  Since it's a crucial part of the mystery I don't want to give too much away but I found it really interesting how Mulhern handled it without undermining the serious nature but reminding the reader of the thoughts of the day.

As usual, one of my biggest treats after finishing this thoroughly enjoyable mystery was visiting Mulhern's Pinterest board for the book to see her inspiration.  If you enjoy mysteries of any kind this is a series not to miss.  While you could jump in here I think you'd enjoy it even more if you started at the beginning and you won't regret it!  Rating:  Very Good
