Publisher's summary

With his dying breath, Bobby Lowell begs Ellison Russell, "Tell her I love her." Unable to refuse, Ellison struggles to find the girl the murdered boy loved. Too bad an epically bad blind date, a vindictive graffiti artist, and multiple trips to the emergency room keep getting in the way. Worse, a killer has Ellison in his sights, her newly rebellious daughter is missing, and there's yet another body in her hostas. Mother won't be pleased.

Now Ellison must track down not one, but two runaway teenagers, keep her promise to Bobby, and elude the killer - all before her next charity gala committee meeting.

Critic reviews

"There's no way a lover of suspense could turn this book down because it's that much fun." ( Suspense Magazine)

LOVED IT!

I really enjoyed this story! It was wonderful to get the characters developed more. This series is a treat to read! The performance was outstanding! Callie Beaulieu is perfect for this book.

captivating story

wasn't sure about a story set in 1974 - preferring more modern settings - but this series and this book captured my interest right away, enough so that I have now bought the whole series. Makes me smile as I am transported back in time to when I was young and realize just how innocent we were then and how much new inventions have made our lives so much easier than these 'old' days.

I enjoyed this book.

It's an easy, fun, read. Not complicated it intricate but sometimes that's exactly what I want.

Even better than the first

I love this series that takes place in the 1970's. Plenty of dry humor, and a great mystery. The narrator does a fantastic job with the various voices. Looking forward to more.

Enjoyed the second book more.

The narrator sounded less robotic and more human in this one. I enjoyed it and the story.

Twists and Turns

Another stellar Cozy Mystery from an author who know how to keep a reader/listener guessing while wrapping her story in humor, intrigue and country club richness.

I am starting to wonder if all country clubs are hotbeds of perverted members whose predilections are unsavory and doubtful Cozy fodder. I hope the third well-told story has a few regular type murderers.

Beaulieu does her usual gripping, chatty narration with often dripping with sarcasm excellence. She needs to look up the pronunciation of peignoir which is not peen-wahr. Other than that slight infraction she’s perfect for this author’s words.

On to Book 3.

Very Good

Julie Mulhern continues to create entertaining and realistic stories with multidimensional and relatable characters. I'm going to buy the next two books in this series and look forward to the next book.

I’m Happily Hooked

I’m enjoying the author and the narrator. I’m listening to the whole series. You should read or listen as well.

So much more

There is so much more to every book in this series than a mere cozy mystery. I am truly in awe of the author’s ability to craft such intelligent, witty and engaging stories and plot lines . Even better that it’s all set in the 1970s. THIS is true art.

A fun interesting read

This was an interesting read as it had lots of twists but sometimes too much wining from daughter and main character’s mother. Please stand up to her. Makes it too unbelievable.
