Story4.5 out of 5 stars 84
Ellison Russell's life resembles a rollercoaster ride. And rollercoasters make her ill. Her daughter Grace has a crush on a boy Ellison doesn't trust and she's taken to hosting wild parties when Ellison goes out for the evening. Worse, the bank which represents Grace's inheritance from her father may be in trouble. When a meeting with the chef at the country club leads to the discovery of a body, Ellison can't afford cold feet. She must save the bank, find the killer, and convince Grace (and herself) that powerful women don't need men to rescue them.

Haunted houses are scary enough without knife-wielding clowns. Especially murderous knife-wielding clowns. So thinks Ellison Russell, single mother, artist, and reluctant sleuth. Now death wears a red nose, and Ellison is up to the blood-stained collar of her new trench coat in costumes, caffeine, and possible killers. Who stabbed Brooks Harney, and why? Money? Jealousy? Drugs?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 87
Visiting a psychic is outside the norm for Ellison Russell. Finding bodies is not. Unfortunately, the psychic's crystal ball says she'll soon be surrounded by death. Again. Drat. Now there's a corpse in the front drive, a witchy neighbor ready to turn Ellison and her (not so) little dog into toadstools, and a stripper named Starry Knight occupying the guest room. How did 1975 go so wrong so quickly? Ellison must handle Mother (who's found a body of her own), make up with a certain handsome detective, and catch a killer, or the death surrounding her might be her own.

Story5 out of 5 stars 72
Ellison Russell is planning the event of the season - and she's stressed. Why not yoga? Because the yoga instructor gets murdered during class - and Ellison's stress level rises exponentially. Now, in addition to raising a ridiculous amount of money, she's babysitting a deranged cat (named after the devil himself), taking 10 million phone calls (most of them from Mother), and finding more bodies (they're popping up like dandelions after a spring rain). There's no such thing as balance when the killer makes it personal. Can Ellison catch a murderer or will her next namaste be her last?

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.

Publisher's Summary
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.

Wonderful Series!
Such an entertaining series, set in the 70’s – who doesn’t love revisiting the 70’s! Ellis can’t seem to go a week without finding a dead body and this week is no exception. The author does a wonderful job of rounding out the characters and describing the scenes which pulls you into the story. I definitely recommend this series if you like a mystery and the 70’s with a little bit of romance thrown in (just a little)! BTW, this is a wonderful audio book, the narrator is awesome!

Julie Mulhern does it again
Once again, I am impressed by Julie Mulhern's writing. The stories in this series have a feminist undertone without it being overdone and obvious. Mulhern is one of my favorite writers and I look forward to the next book in this series.

Ridiculous story
On one hand the author strives to show how women are abused by men yet has the heroine exhibit the cliche used in most female murder mysteries, a woman who is helpless to resist the handsome policeman.
This writer is talented but lazy. Rather than build on the strong lead character she uses the same old, tired story line.

1970s Setting Sublime
The setting, the clothes, the country club and great characters make this another must read in the series. With a lot of hard work, women have gained more independence since then!
