Watching the Detectives

The Country Club Murders, Book 5

By: Julie Mulhern

Narrated by: Callie Beaulieu

Length: 6 hrs and 31 mins

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.

Brilliant, witty, and absolutely necessary.

I have left other reviews for the earlier books in the series. They are all beyond brilliant and witty, and I am amazed of the talent of the author and the narrator. Off the charts productions. In this case, the subject matter itself adds one more adjective to the list: necessary. I grew up in the 70s and remember all too well this very atmosphere and era in which victims of domestic violence, had few, if any options for escape. Thank you to both the author, and the narrator for highlighting this issue with such brilliance and care. Bravo!

Yes!

I dearly love Julie Mulhern. My only criticism is the orator and her pronunciation of knock knock and ring ring. Surely a real knock and ring could be found.

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!

This is the 5th in the series I read I loved every

Love everyone of them Hope you enjoy your books as much as I did thank you

Love this series!

This was a good book and gives insight into spousal abuse during that time period and how women were trapped in abusive relationships and have overcome!

Ellison and Anarchy

One of my favorite series. Ellison may have been sheltered, but she really starts to grow. And Anarchy is still Anarchy.

Murder among the Upper Echelon

A fun and enjoyable story with a very serious underlying issue of domestic violence. The story takes place in 1970, before the country’s consciousness was raised about these subjects.

The story is about the very well to do, something which I know little to nothing about, so I enjoyed my visit rubbing elbows with the rich! ☺️ At any rate, Ellison is a very sweet lady and a good and devoted friend, someone I would love to have in my own life…☺️

I enjoyed the low key and very calming voice of the narrator!

Love, love

This series is amazing! I’ve been bingeing it. I love the characters and the setting. Love it!

a difficult subject handled well

I am late in learning of this series. But I am thoroughly enjoying each book. This book dealt with a difficult subject matter but it was handled well and without too much DRAMA. Looking forward to the next one.

Watching the Detectives

Julie Mulhern has a wonderful way with words. I have read each book in the series and they get better and better.
Callie Beaulieu does a stupendous job of enacting the book.
Looking forward to more!
