Now and again, I try to read some of my older eBooks and today's one Clouds in my Coffee was an older cozy mystery read by Henery Press. Henery Press was one of my favorite publishing companies for Cozy mysteries as they are easy to read and keep readers entertained. Clouds in my Coffee can also be read as a stand-alone or part of the series. This book starts with introducing readers to Ellison who we learn is now a widower as her husband Henry was killed. Henry, we learned not only cheated on Ellison but also was a secret holder and used it as currency. In this book, someone is out to kill Ellison it seems as if everywhere she goes - danger strikes and someone ends up dead or close to dying. Who is out to kill Ellison and the biggest question is Why? This was such a fun read and I enjoyed the crazy dynamics of Ellison's family - in a way it reminded me of Stephanie Plum's family by Janet Evanovich. If you love cozy mysteries, then the Country Club Murders by Julie Mulhern is the read for you.

Great idea and concept for a book. A thoroughly enjoyable read. Highly recommended. .

I am sorry for not reviewing fully but I don’t have the time to read this anymore. I believe that it wouldn't benefit you as a publisher or your book if I only skimmed it and wrote a rushed review. Again, I am sorry for not fully reviewing!

4.5 stars

This is the third installment in the Country Club Murder series set in 1974 Kansas City, Missouri.

The protagonist, Ellison Russell, widowed and “on the cusp of 40”, is smart and funny; and the electricity between her and Homicide Detective Anarchy Jones could run the lights in my house for a year.

I love this series!

Never in my life would I have figured out the whodunnit here. A job well done to this author.

"Clouds in my coffee" is a fun, quick read. The cast of characters is colorful, sometimes a bit too much maybe, and the story grabbed my attention quite easily. My only disappointment is that the main character is not much of a sleuth ; things just sort of happen around her until the culprit is found.
