Murder Off The Books

The Midwest Book Review calls Murder Off the Books "a real whodunit with a fast pace and unique characters."

"Murder off the Books is populated with quirky characters of all ages, genders and species from Myrna Bird a very human character) to Whiskey, Mac’s Irish Wolfhound. My award for best character in a supporting role goes to Julianna “J.J.” Jarrett. She’s a Concordia College student sporting spiked hair, cargo pants and work boots. J.J. has the soul of Martha Stewart, the attitude of a Marine drill sergeant and is the best secretary in crime fiction since Della Street." Diana Vickery, www.cozylibrary.com

Murder Off the Books is a "fun read that reminds one of the old 'Murder, She Wrote' TV show... Billed as 'Book One' of a new series,the read is a great start to the foundation and hopefully not the last from this writing team." Kevin Tipple, MouthfullofBullets.com

Murder Off the Books - "If Dan Thayer had taken some responsibility for his life, his sister, Rachel, three teenagers, a private detective and an Irish Wolfhound might not have been put in danger. Dan Thayer ran when he became a suspect for embezzlement and murder at Concordia College in Washington, D.C. Suddenly, Rachel Brenner’s house is broken into, and she’s being followed. Mac Sullivan, a detective dependent on a funeral home fleet of autos for transportation, is only supposed to be looking into the embezzlement. And, who needs three teenagers to play Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys? The first in the Rachel Brenner/Mac Sullivan mystery series is non-stop action and humor. Throw in a loveable Irish Wolfhound named Whiskey, and the book is a treat for readers." Lesa Holstine, Lesa's Book Critiques

"If you’re looking for an off-the-beaten-track whodunit featuring a retired gumshoe with the slang and wit of a Runyonesque character and the companionship of a Hootch-like pooch (sans Tom Hanks) – this is a great read! It’s an off-the-wall, fast-talking, faster-moving, unpredictable action tale with babes, bodies, and burglars – and a storyline that takes more twists and turns than an Irish Wolfhound on the tail of a rabbit – or a murderer. Mark my word! This is the first of a rack full of successful Sullivan Investigations Mysteries." Wayne Winterton, author of Whistler's Gold.

"A fast-paced mystery with a lively and indomitable heroine, a tough-guy hero, and a lovable dog." JoAnna Carl, author of The Chocolate Bridal Bash and other Chocoholic Mysteries.

"One howling good whodunit, and a terrific debut. Murder Off the Books offers a plot as twisty and fast as an Irish Wolfhound. Whiskey joins the ranks of beloved four-footed sleuths. Great fun!" Julia Spencer-Fleming, Edgar finalist and author of All Mortal Flesh.

"Evelyn David's quirky sense of humor sparkles on every page. Murder Off The Books is a clever, witty romp with plenty of twists and surprises. A laudable debut." Kathryn R. Wall, author, Bishop's Reach and the Bay Tanner Mysteries

"Murder off the Books is a fast-paced, engaging read with memorable characters and a plot that never quits. Readers are sure to hang on and enjoy the invigorating, unpredictable ride." Judith Kelman, author, The Session and Backward in High Heels.

"This is a zany, fast-paced, well-written mystery by two very talented writers who combine their gifts under the name of Evelyn David…a page-turning mystery that begs to be read at one sitting. Well developed characters, a tight plot, and power-punched verbiage make this mystery a delightful read. Even when you think the mystery is solved, the ending has just one more final, amusing and exciting twist. Can't wait for the sequel." Reviewed by Sherlock Bones, Astra Publishers
