Purchase options and add-ons

Is your tuition paid up? College finals are killers–or maybe it's just the people who count the money. A retired Irish Cop and a fast-food loving Irish Wolfhound search for the campus murderer while dealing with a scooter-riding senior with dreams of trenchcoat adventures, a crazed exterminator looking for his ride, and a makeup artist whose mid-life crisis isn't any the less stressful because her clients never complain. A half-million dollars has vanished and a college comptroller is dead. Mackenzie Sullivan, recently retired DC cop and newly-minted private detective, really has no interest in the murder. Mac just needs to find the embezzled money for the university's insurance company. Finding the killer is a bonus that he's not sure he wants to earn.(Enhanced font size edition)

MAC SULLIVAN AND JJ ARE MY NEW HEROES

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2013

Verified Purchase

Mac Sullivan is a former cop and now a private detective. Financially he is not a huge success, in fact with no car, he borrows vehicles from his friend the entrepreneur/funeral director Jeff. Mac also has Whiskey. Whiskey is an Irish Wolfhound and she is a wonderful dog. She is smart, choosy about who becomes her friend, and will eat anything in her path.

Rachel Brenner is a new employee at the funeral home. She is divorced, has a son in college and a brother who may be an embezzler and murderer.

Mac is hired to find the stolen money, his former cop buddies are after Rachel's brother for murder. And Rachel is determined to find the guilty party because she knows her brother Dan would never do anything terrible.

Mac is pushed into hiring JJ as his secretary. She has a head that is partially shaved, she is brilliant with computers, she knows people, and she is smart as a whip. I feel pretty sure that JJ will become one of my favorite characters in a book.

The mystery is a good one and you must pay attention to find the correct path. The embezzlement scheme is very involved and the total amount missing seems to be around half a million dollars. That is definitely enough money to make murder a viable option to cover one's tracks.

This is a first in a series, and I look forward to reading the next book in the series. I have read other books by Evelyn David and I recommend the writing. You will find that the books have humor along with the mystery. You will also find that the plots are terrific and the characterizations are first class. The people you meet in these books are generally people you will want to get to know. And Sullivan Investigation Mysteries are books which should be in your future.

Good book

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2011

Verified Purchase

I liked this book - not as much as the authors' Brianna Sullivan mysteries, but I liked it.

The secretary that gets hired by the PI [don't want to spoil it] is my favorite character. If she is highlighted in the next book, I'll like it even more!

My least favorite things were: taking the dog EVERYWHERE and the character of Rachel. She would seem benign and then overreact. I liked her sometimes and then other times just wanted her gone. I hold her responsible for when things get out of hand with the police later in the book. [I hope that was vague enough not to be a spoiler]. She irked me a lot as the book progressed.

Still, the main character was good, I enjoyed the story, and the secretary was great.

Interesting and Quirky Characters

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a combination of mystery/thriller and police procedural with a hint of romance.

Mackenzie "Mac" Sullivan and his Irish Wolfhound, Whiskey set out to find out what happen to the missing half million dollars from the local college. One would think this would be a simple enough task, and it would be if Mac had his own mode of transportation. Each vehicle he borrows seems to have some kind of problem, mechanical and otherwise. Not only does that slow down his investigations but a number of murders muddy the waters as well. Will Mac find out what happened to the money or will the people he meets along the way obstruct his path?

This book is full of interesting and quirky characters as well as plot twist, turns, and surprises.

Warning this book is for Mature audiences due to violence, adult language, and mild sexual situations.

I like good mysteries. I would have read this book even if there wasn't a mystery to solve! There was never a dull moment - a sign of a good writer. My favorite character? The Dog. Just kidding. All the characters had something going for them. Another thing is that readers will have a hard time guessing who the culprit is! Always a plus.
Kudos to this author and I await more of her work.

Unique cast of characters

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2014

Verified Purchase

"Murder Off the Books" is another wonderful Sullivan Investigations Mystery by Evelyn David and I highly recommend it.
The plot is intriguing and will keep you guessing until the very end but what I enjoyed most about the book was the cast of unique and likeable characters.
This is definitely a book - and a series - that you won't want to miss!

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2012

From the beginning this book was written in haste because even the discription of the characters is like a big run on sentence. Very hard to follow so I didnt even get through the first chapter. Would only recommend if you like to be confused.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were interesting and although I usually can figure out who the villain is, this book kept me guessing. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Murder and an Irish Wolfhound

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 31, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is the first in a new series, therefore there is quite a bit a character setting. I think I was spoiled because I read the 2nd in the series before this one! I will say that although I gave this a lowish rating the next book is better and I think they will just improve from now on in. Worth a look at just for Whiskey the Irish Wolfhound mind you!
