Summary

It's 1974 and Ellison Russell's life revolves around her daughter and her art. She's long since stopped caring about her cheating husband, Henry, and the women with whom he entertains himself. That is, until she becomes a suspect in Madeline Harper's death. The murder forces Ellison to confront her husband's proclivities and his crimes - kinky sex, petty cruelties, and blackmail. As the body count approaches par on the seventh hole, Ellison knows she has to catch a killer. But with an interfering mother, an adoring father, a teenage daughter, and a cadre of well-meaning friends demanding her attention, can Ellison find the killer before he finds her?

I have already read the entire series and liked it so much I wanted to listen, but the narrator is a disappointment! I could not even figure out which character she was playing in the moment arrrgh

Set in the 70s, this whodunit is a fun story with interesting characters. I like the main characters development throughout the story, and found the murder mystery aspect a good story with a few twists. The narrator did a good job.

This book kept me engaged. The who-done-it got me. I consider it a solid book for the genre.

Once I had assimilated the accent I was away. Callie's voice and diction are good, and the dialogue is entertaining. The story is an interesting thumbnail of how the other half live in well to do parts of America. The love/sex interest is provoking, and the story weaves comfortably through the 'heroine's' mental dialogue - it is dramatic and realistic without being horrifying or gut wrenching. I'm looking forward to book two.

A whodunnit!
