Back in Black

The Country Club Murders, Book 18

By: Julie Mulhern

Narrated by: Callie Beaulieu

When Ellison's friend Kay Morrison visits Kansas City from New York, there are certain women who turn green with envy. After all, Kay works in the fashion industry, she actually attended the Battle of Versailles, and her clothes are to die for. Maybe literally.

Ellison is convinced someone is trying to kill her friend. Kay is convinced that finding too many bodies has made Ellison paranoid.

Both of them are right.

Can Ellison catch a killer before it's too late?

great books

love the story. love going back in time and the simplicity of things without the Internet and hearing about how things were back then. and there isn't too much filler in these most of what she says is story driven so you don't get bored.

I love this series ! Circa 1970’s Midwest well to do characters fun .

Really liked the plot of Back in Black , easy listening and tense moments along with the familiar characters . I love the mix of 70’s fashion and the setting of fun and sometimes snobby Midwest characters … love the narrator and Ellison is an engaging protagonist .

AWESOME

Ellison Jones is one of my favorite cozy mystery characters. She's smart, loyal, and will shoot a B****. I love this series and I can't wait for the next book.

Funniest Cozy Mystery Series Ever!

This series is so much fun! I love that it is set on the plaza/country club area of KC which I grew up visiting. It is also set in the 70's so a lot of the landmarks mentioned are ones that I remember from my childhood. The author has created incredibly realistic characters that are full of wit and humor. The plot is extremely well crafted and typically has one or more mysteries or puzzles woven into one fabulous story line. I have to say that this series is on my must listen list as the narrator is absolutely outstanding. I mean she can seriously bring "Mr. Coffee," yes, I am referring to the coffeemaker brand, to life and make you believe it! Ellison has to be my all-time favorite amateur sleuth as she is a smart, brave and incredibly creative in her investigative plans even when stumbling onto the true culprit. All the characters are perfect whether you are meant to love or hate them! This book in particular was well plotted so that you had multiple suspects and multiple mysteries to untangle. I am now back to waiting for the next book to be available on audiobook so I can keep enjoying this series!

Ellison Jones and friends are terrific

I don’t know how Julie can do this book after book but each of the Country Club mysteries is super hard to put down.
