“’There’s been an incident…Mrs. White in the study with a revolver.”Mulhern is on a roll. This is the fifth book in the Country Club Murders series, but I plunged in without having seen the first four, and it was still a treat. Thank you, thank you to Net Galley and Henery Press for the DRC, which I snagged free and in advance in exchange for this honest review. It is now available to everyone. The story is set among the Caucasian upper middle class of the 1970s, and Mulhern renders the period—w...

Another fabulous book in this series. With a sad heart I move on to the last one. Maybe I won’t be sad for too long while I await a new one. I will be here patiently waiting.....

A cozy mystery that is a funny and a superb read yet it deals with a major social problem. The first portion had me laughing at the antics. This is the fifth book in the series and I have been fortunate to read all of them. The series is set in the 1970's and features members of the Country Club's set. Details of the area are perfect. Telephone on the wall, going next door to call out, the comments on Mr. Coffee are fabulous. I still remember my first one and I am not a coffee drinker. While eac...

I love The Country Club Murders books. I didn't want to finish reading this one because it's the last one and I wanted to stay in Kansas City with these characters. I have grown attached to the characters over the course of the series and found each book to be interesting and entertaining. I especially love Ellison's fierceness. I hope Julie Mulhern writes more books in this series. I will read every one.

Watching the Detectives is the fifth book is the Country Club Murders mystery series. Four whole days have gone by since the last body was found. And this Monday morning holds the promise of crisp early fall days. In fact, it starts off so well, until. . .But then Khaki White arrives to give Ellison Russell a quote on redecorating her dark study. And then her housekeeper, Aggie, calls panicked that her car has died and she has perishable groceries, will Ellison please come get her. With deep loy...

I think it is going to be really difficult for Ellison Russell to find a decorator. The one she attempted to hire in the previous book was selling stolen artifacts. Her choice in Book 5 gets murdered in the den that was to be redone. This is going to be a crazy week. Mr. Coffee is going to get a workout. Yes, that esteemed appliance is still Ellison's leading man. Changes are ahead in the Hunter/Anarchy love triangle, Grace is growing up, and there is a mystery to be solved. The underlying theme...

Book received from NetGalley.I loved this book, while the mystery was great and it took me almost to the end to figure out whodunnit, those weren't the reasons for my high rating of the book. Part of it was due to nostalgia, the books are set in the 1970's and it brought back quite a few things of my childhood, a big plus in my book. The other reason was the fact one of the subplots dealt with an extremely tough topic, made even worse by the time the book was set in. The 1970's was an era where

I approached this book with some trepidation. There were five books planned for this series – and this was number five. Would Ellison finally decide between the “devastatingly handsome, terminally charming, thrice divorced” Hunter Tafft, and the gorgeous policeman, Anarchy Jones, with eyes the colour of perfectly brewed coffee”. And could I forgive her if she chose Hunter Tafft? Of course, these books are so much more than just a romance. There is the wonderful social milieu of the Country Club

Ellison Russell has developed a remarkable talent for discovering bodies, sometimes in her own house, while juggling her teenage daughter Grace, her overbearing mother, and two attractive men, Detective Anarchy Jones and attorney Hunter Tafft. This time around, Ellison discovers an interior dec...

FANTASTIC!!What is there NOT to love about this book?? I was hooked immediately and wanted to read it from cover to cover without pause, but unfortunately I had to take care of "real life issues." I kept sneaking back to read what was happening next in this compelling book about the life of Ellison Russell! Watching the Detectives is the 5th Book in The Country Club Murders and it is brilliantly written. Mulhern has captured the time and essence of the 70's and managed to tackle one of society's...

Watching the Detectives is the fifth book in Julie Mulhern’s Country Club Murders series. Ms. Mulhern’s writing style is crisp and clear, the storyline is well developed, and the characters are entertaining, fun, and a little quirky. The setting for this series is the 1970s country club society in Kansas City, Missouri, and all the details are right on target from telephones that must be attached to a wall to work to the some of the carpets being shag to the description of clothes worn by the ch...

I love me some easy and entertaining page-turners. And if they involve murder and humor: even better! I stumbled across the "Country Club Murders" book series by Julie Mulhern not too long ago, and love each and every single one of them.So I was happy when NetGalley and Henery Press sent me the kindle version of the latest book in the series: "Watching the Detectives".
