Most books based on a theme put that theme at the end of the book: How can Nita transcribe a notebook that is in police custody and she herself says the detective is trying to get someone to transcribe it?
All within 2 paragraphs of one another. This is terrible writing and terrible editing. Then to have Nita request Ellie to take the transcriptions she is working on and match them to newspaper articles? What is wrong with this picture? Wonderful skills that the woman has no first hand information about?
Like I have said previously: Ellie is a 2 dimensional character that the author builds up with other characters of less dimension. This is a terrible excuse for writing. Ellie gets closely followed by a car, semi-runs, then finds out it is Colleen who wasn't sure it was Ellie and that is why she, the driver followed Ellie in such an erratic fashion? To think I am not even halfway through the book yet. I bought the books and I will read them despite it all. The author has Ellie, the not too bright heroine, organize the closet of STAND, where she alone makes the decision of what is thrown out and what should be shredded, and what should be kept and filed?
I wouldn't trust Ellie to organize my trash. The premise is totally ridiculous. Vehicles sitting at the bottom of a lake for almost 60 years will not have recognizable license plates. The vehicles themselves will be rusted, probably in unidentifiable pieces.
See a Problem?
Water, even in a lake, moves. I hate using the text abbreviation. Then later a body is finally found and immediately identified as Jodi? DNA identification takes time. The entire Topaz angle was ridiculous. Name recognition equals facial recognition? Oh and the earrings made from keys?
Yeah, they would have ripped an earlobe. Sep 28, CindyLulu rated it really liked it. Ellie Avery mysteries are based upon a stay at home military wife who finds herself caught up in the middle of murder plots and conspiracy while her family moves about the country wherever her husband gets re-assigned. With Magnolias, Moonlight, and Murder she offers you party planning tips and organization advice. The character Ellie is responsible to put on a party for her husband's recent promotion; therefore, you will find at the end of most chapters tips on party planning. I was distracted in finding many grammar errors in this book; one is unusual but to find four was disheartening.
While taking the family rottweiler for a walk, Ellie discovers skeletal remains in a forgotten cemetery at first suspected to be those of their home's first occupant, Jodi Lockworth, a freelance reporter who's been missing for 10 months.

But there have been other disappearances in this town, one in and one 20 yrs ago when the civil rights movement came to town. A surprising twist, some excellent plotting and a few organizing tricks keep this cozy moving. Apr 12, Lindsay rated it liked it Shelves: I picked up this book because I liked the cover. Its got a pumpkin on it, which means that it takes place during the Fall, and I love Fall.
This is the latest book in the series, but unlike some series, you don't need to read the others first to understand what is going on. The story is about Ellie who is the wife of an Air Force officer and it takes you into the world of what life is like for their wives.
Murder Under The Magnolias - Without a Cue
Wasn't sure if I would or not. Ellie finds a dead body who everyone thinks b I picked up this book because I liked the cover. Ellie finds a dead body who everyone thinks belongs to a girl who went missing a year ago. And while investigating it, another unsolved murder is solved.
It was creepy and something I shouldn't have read when before bed.
But it doesn't take much to scare me. In other words, good read. Jun 13, Amy Paget rated it liked it. This is a light summer read. It's part of a series and has 'two hooks'. The amateur detective is a stay-at-home Military spouse with young children. That has enabled Rosett to set the series in various locales. Ellie's work from home profession is as an organizer. Similar to other 'occupational' mysteries, some of the chapters conclude with organizing tips. Those tips however, seemed exceedingly lame to me, perhaps because I fancy myself as an organizer too!
Jul 29, Sandybear76 added it. Ellie is a army wife and has 2 kids. They moved to a new base and Ellie is spending lots of time at home with the little kids.

Apr 29, Susan rated it really liked it Shelves: Air force wife Ellie Avery, adjusting to a new post in Georgia, learns that the missing woman whose image decorates every lamppost used to live in Ellie's house.
Reluctantly, Ellie becomes involved in the search for Jodi, although her first attempt leads to the solution of a quite different mystery. This series is making enormous strides and should be on your to-read list.

It is not badly written but not the best I have read either. Part of the problem is that I read in bits and pieces May 02, Karolinde Kari rated it really liked it Shelves: A simple walk causes Ellie to stumble on a body and the knowledge that a missing woman lived in her rented house. The red herrings in this book are incredible and yet very realistic.
You find yourself thinking you know what's going on only to be fooled. I love that Ellie is a mom first.

Her kids' lives intrude on everything including the murder investigation. Sep 13, Mhd rated it liked it. A cozy with a milieu of clutter organizer, young mom with toddlers. Every so often, instead of a recipe or something, there is a hint of technique for part planning. Given the crime, these techniques seemed out of place and even bothersome. The mystery itself was fairly interesting. I'll probably try some more by this author.
