What a fun and entertaining book this is. Ruby is such a great character. I found myself connecting with her immediately. I loved the mystery of the book too. This author is fantastic at creating brilliant stories that all had such a unique feel about them.
For me this book was made even better by the choice of musical – it left me singing the songs to myself and going back to watch the film. It gave me such a feeling of nostalgia and I think helped me to engage even more.
This author is easily one of my favourites and this book will show you why. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ruby is a quirky actress who trades whimsical alternatives for curse words, sings song lyrics in her head – and sometimes aloud – as they apply to her everyday life, and struggles to figure out who she truly is among all the characters she takes on. When she lands a chorus part in her traveling theater company’s latest production, she’s disappointed, a little bored, and still working to fit in with her cast mates, even while coping with the loss of her mentor only a few short months ago. When she stumbles upon the body of a new cast mate while jogging in a park at their first tour stop in Asheville, she decides to spend her free time helping to get to the bottom of the mystery of why anyone would want to murder the kind older woman and who is behind it all. Forging a friendship with another cast mate, Nova, the pair clumsily make their way through an investigation that isn’t always as clandestine, nor safe, as they expect. It’s an entertaining and offbeat whodunit.

The Melody Street Players are ready to perform The Sound of Music, but murder puts a stop to the performances before they can even begin. Ruby decides to solve the murder of fellow cast member Diane. This was an enjoyable page turner and I am looking forward to the release of Book 2 in this series!

5 stars!

Very fun murder mystery. I kept thinking I knew who did it, but I was always proved wrong. Ruby seems like a sweet and talented woman, I am so glad she found a good friend in Nova and Sunshine. It seemed that she couldn’t catch a break with her being a witness to 2 dead bodies, and having a hard time making friends, but in this book she really blossomed from beginning to end. The story is easy to follow along with, and it was very unique and genius to me, how the characters were related and the way Ruby and Nova solve the murder without the cops. Watching them go out of their way to find their own evidence and sift through all the details is a treat to watch. The ending wrapped up nicely and I hope to see more of Rudy. This book can be read as a standalone, but I would recommend reading the prequel first, it would have been nice if I had known how Ruby met Sunshine and where she comes in. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

An enjoyable and engaging cozy mystery, featuring a great heroine in main character, chorus girl, Ruby Ecco. As a member of the traveling theatre troupe she gets to travel all over the world, staging musicals. However, everywhere the troupe goes, murder and mayhem seem to follow, but luckily Ruby is a keen amateur sleuth. As a plus size girl, Ruby has been told she’s not leading lady material, despite her, great voice and pretty face. Ruby is happy as a chorus girl and enjoys her new gig, touring different cities and getting to explore them, as well as learning new roles for the musicals. When one of her cast-mates turns up dead, Ruby is determined to solve the mystery and bring the murderer to justice. After all who would murder a women playing the Mother Abbess in the production of The Sound of Music. I loved Ruby and felt as though I was alongside her investigating the murder. The characters and the setting were brought to life by the descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the story. I look forward to future books featuring Ruby and the travelling theatre troupe.

I have really enjoyed this book. It is a really good cosy mystery and I love the mixture of murder, mystery and also musicals. As our sleuth trys to solve the murder we are treated to glimpses of the sound of music and I will admit I was singing along in my head. I especially love the song that Ruby makes up to remember the clues they find

Ruby hasn’t had much luck. As part of the Melody Street Players her last show was one to remember but not for the performance but for a murder. Surely bad luck like that couldn’t strike twice right?

So imagine Ruby’s horror when she finds a member of her group dead from a gun shot wound. Now it’s a race against time to find the killer. With the help of a fellow actress they aim to solve this murder before the finger of suspicion is pointed at Ruby again.

The hills were alive with the sounds of deception, song, humor, and murder. Miss Ruby Ecco is fresh off the trail of her friend’s murder when it happens again. You’ll find yourself humming along with Ruby as she works to solves this mystery. She thinks to the tune of familiar songs. I don’t think I’ve smiled this much reading a cozy since the Bryce Beach series. Sunshine Baker makes a cameo in this book. The characters have personalities that are so well written for the plot. Nova, Tara and Dianna are so stage divas. Hattie is the overworked stage manager. I love this author. She writes positive, clean and fun mysteries. They are so much fun to figure out who did it and enjoy as you solve it. With the adventures Ruby had in this book, I’m looking forward to the next one. This is a terrific new series that I’m looking forward to reading more of. I recommend this for all mystery lovers. You won’t be disappointed.

KL gives us a cosy mystery set around a musical theatre. It is the first book in this clever new series which is actually a spin off from one of her other series. We see new characters and friends from previous books This adventure is full of fun, wit and suspense.
This whodunnit is well written and will entertain and delight so grab a coffee, find a quiet spot and settle in.
Ruby sees something she never could have imagined which now leaves her as the prime suspect. She is being framed for a murder she stumbled across. Now she needs to prove her innocence and the only way to do that is to find the real killer.

This is a spin off of another of this author’s series. I have not read that series and did not get confused or lost so I feel like this book can certainly be read as a stand alone if you, like me, have yet to read her other books. However, I will warn you once you read this book you will want to go back and read more of her work. She is an unusually creative author. I truly enjoyed the little details she adds to her story that makes not only the story, but the characters, the places, the happenings and the emotional all come to life as if you are watching them on the big screen.
Ruby is a great character and I love that she isn’t the epitome of perfection. She uses those imperfections to her advantage to help solve this gruesome murder of her cast mate. I thoroughly appreciated this authors talent in making a story come to life and look forward to book two!

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up by her. This is one of my favorites by her. This is a cozy mystery that was fun and entertaining to read. This is a well written story about Ruby and her travels. The thing about her is that chaos and murder seem to follow her where ever she goes. Will she find the murderer before it ends her first? I enjoyed the character and Ruby was my favorite. The story was brought to life on each page by the author’s attention to details. It is a fast paced story that pulls you in from the beginning. An engaging story that has great growth throughout. This is a great story that filled my afternoon with a few laughs and mystery. I highly recommend this book and this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a great cozy historical mystery read. It is a short novel but it held my attention throughout and I read it in one sitting (staying up late ;)) We follow Jenny whom is covering her fathers PI business while he is recovering., trying to keep his reputation and the business afloat. A visit to the jail to see an estranged relative leads Jenny on a chase to find some missing jewelry. The story shows Jenny to be clever and determined to solve the mystery which involves love gone wrong, lies, cover-ups and a shooting.

This is a second novel and while I did not read the first, I was pleased to find that I could follow the novel with no problems and you can definitely read this as a stand – alone and not feel like you were missing anything.

JD (Jenny Dee) decides to help her father’s failing PI firm as it slips closer to shutting down during the depression. She receives a phone call from her uncle from prison asking for help finding a stolen necklace of her cousin’s. Her cousin winds up dead and now not only is JD looking for a thief, she’s looking for a murderer. Time is of the essence! Can JD solve the mystery of the missing necklace AND find a murderer on the loose before they strike again?

The Killer Jack Mystery is such an entertaining and quick read! The author does a great job keeping the story interesting and mysterious in the short length of 188 pages. It’s a cozy mystery that is perfect for a car ride, plane trip, or rainy day at home. I finished it in one day and look forward to picking up more books in this series!

The Killer Jack Mystery is part of the J.D. Pierson Case File Series. This is a fun, cozy mystery that takes place during the Great Depression. J.D. is trying to save her father’s detective agency and solve the Killer Jack Mystery. I like a good cozy mystery as well as historical fiction and this fits the bill. J.D. is a determined female detective who is trying to protect her father’s reputation by taking over his detective business without that information being made public. She has lots of challenges in a male-dominated world beyond just solving a mystery. I liked the characters and story and look forward to reading more in this series.

This is a fun and easy reading historical mystery story with some great characters involved. I didn’t find the story to be that complex which meant it was great just for getting lost in for a few hours. It is a pretty quick story to read, nothing too heavy but still an interesting book.
I thought the main character and her father were a good combination. The dynamic worked. This is a good book that is worth a read.

Jenny has her hands full covering for her father, trying to keep his business running; she also types for a local attorney, all to keep them afloat. While covering for her father she visits her dying Uncle in jail. As she follows through on his request, she finds herself a case. Will she be able to solve it?
This is the first book by C.H. Sessums that I have read. The Killer Jack Mystery is the second book in the JD Pierson Case Files series. As I, for the most part, did not feel lost or confuse would say this story can be read as a stand alone. This not my go to genre, but I can say, I was not disappointed and will be going back to read the first and then the rest of this series. The story was well written and the characters were engaging. I recommend giving this book a read.

A fun mystery murder book! I really enjoyed following along on this adventure to find out who stole the jewelry from the Barricks and who killed JD’s cousin Betty. JD or Jenny, decides to help out her Dad’s PI business by taking on a case while he is in recovery for alcoholism, at first I honestly was thinking why did she get involved, there may not have been any deaths had she stayed out of it. But when it came down to it in the end, she made me think differently, if no-one had stolen the jewelry there wouldn’t have been any deaths either! Mrs. Forsythe, she’s a piece of work and her brother George seemed a little unstable if what his sister was saying about him was correct, that he wanted the love of Mrs. Barrick not to blackmail her. In the epilogue it seems we have another juicy but devastating mystery coming and I look forward to the next book!

The Killer Jack Mystery is part of the J.D Pierson Case Files series. It is the first book I have read, but I really enjoyed it and will read the others. The book is well written, with good characters and maintained mystery throughout. It is not very long, but seemed appropriate- I didn’t feel like it ended suddenly or was rushed. The book follows Jenny, as she fills in for her father, a Private Investigator in the early to mid 1900s. She is asked to check in on her cousin, who may be caught up with some bad people. That quickly escalates to million dollar thefts, murder and a whole string of lies and mystery. I love the characters, as Jenny is a strong independent woman, in a time where it is not common. I look forward to see what will come next, after her dad returns home. Highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mystery and crime. There is a cliff hanger at the end, that I was surprised to know it was based on a true story. I can’t wait to read the next book.

I found this historical cozy mystery story to be an enjoyable and entertaining read, and one which had me hooked from start to finish. It’s a fairly short novel but it’s definitely action packed with plenty of plot twists that kept me guessing. Our heroine, Jenny is trying to keep her father’s PI business running after he’s turned to alcohol. A call from the state penitentiary is the start of a new case, searching for a stolen necklace but soon Jenny finds she’s in the sights of a killer. The call is from her Uncle who is in prison for robbery, but he’s concerned about his daughter, Jenny’s cousin Betty and needs help.
Betty is wearing a pendant which Jenny is pretty sure is stolen but her cousins not talking about it. Things take a dramatic turn when Betty gets gunned down and the necklace is stolen. Suddenly Jenny is not just looking for a thief but also a murderer, she needs to discover the identity of a man named Jack before he disappears again, and maybe even kills again. I found the main character, Jenny very likeable and relatable and felt engaged with her, as though I was alongside her as she investigated. The author’s descriptive narrative made the setting come alive and the added historical details made me feel I had gone back in time. I look forward to future books in this series, featuring Jenny.

This is a really fun murder mystery that I thoroughly enjoyed. J.D. Pierson (Jenny Dee, that is, not the famed PI, but his plucky daughter) is a great investigator who proves herself to be smart, daring, capable, and talented. Even though she isn’t meant to be looking into this murder, she’s unable to resist when her father is in hospital and money is tight. That isn’t the only reason however – like her father she has a nose for danger, and her natural curiousity, bravery and stubbornness don’t allow her to back down until every clue has been chased down. This book is written superbly, and is engaging and quick-witted. It is a shorter book, but the plot felt appropriately brisk and well-timed. I found it very well planned-out and a pleasure to read.

This book follows Jenny as she tries to uncover the mystery revolving around a necklace her cousin is wearing that Jenny’s uncle claims is stolen and could get his daughter, Jenny’s cousin, in trouble. As Jenny tracks down her cousin she ends up realizing she is in for a bigger case than she realized as she now has to try to find the stolen jewelry and now a murderer. This book kept me on the edge of my seat and I read it in less than 5 hours. I was hooked immediately and there were just enough characters and possible suspects to keep me intrigued and questioning everyone without having too many people that it got confusing. This was a very well-done mystery with a satisfying twisty ending. Reading this book would be a fun way to spend a few hours of your day as you won’t be able to put it down once you start. Highly recommend. 4/5 stars

The Killer Jack Mystery is the second book in The J.D. Pierson Case Files by C.H. Sessums. This is quite an intriguing historical cosy mystery- and we tag along on this case, getting involved in the investigation whilst trying to piece everything together before the reveal. The Killer Jack Mystery is a ‘whodunnit’ packed full of drama, murder, adventure, action, danger, and theft- with an interesting and somewhat quirky cast.
JD Pierson has stepped in to try to keep her father’s PI business afloat after he turns to alcohol in his grief after the death of his wife (JD’s mother). She desperately wants to save not only his business, but also his reputation- and in doing so JD proves to be quite resourceful and clever. She certainly proves herself as she unravels this mystery.
This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Sessums, and not having read the first book I was a little concerned that I would feel like I was ‘missing’ things in this story. But that wasn’t the case at all- this book can definitely be read as a standalone. But having said that, I notice that there are three more books already published in this series, so I will certainly be going back and to read the first book, before exploring the rest of the series.
A great little cosy mystery!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, C.H. Sessums!

Everyone is having a hard time keeping their businesses going during the depression and P.I. business is no exception. While her father has turned to the bottle J.D. is doing her best to keep his business going. When a call comes from her uncle who has been in prison Jenny can’t lie to him. He’s family and you always help family. When a necklace comes up missing and her cousin is murdered Jenny is on the hunt to find the suspect before he disappears and ends up committing another murder. Will she be able to find the necklace and the culprit?

This was a good mystery and a quick read. It draws you in from the beginning and keeps you turning the pages. I’m finding that I don’t have a lot of time to read a whole lot these days due to my crazy work schedule, but books like this are worth saying one more page no matter how early my alarm is set.

This was a brilliant whodunnit filled with great characters, mystery and polished writing. I really enjoyed the voice of the main character, and the setting in the Texan depression era was very well portrayed. This is the first book I have read from this author and even though this book is part of a collection, I did not feel lost at all. A fabulous journey from start and finish and I am looking forward to reading more from this author.
