Great surprise

Loved Frances being in the middle of the discovery! Having her a tiny bit vulnerable and how she “recovered” was a new side of Frances and it was presented so well!!

Love the writing, love the reader!

I purchased the 1st book of the series, then bought them all. The series brings me back to the 70's, the era I grew up in, and it's dead on! The sassy sarcasm, it perfectly read by Callie Beaulieu!

great short story!

Love this series and this is a great glimpse into the real Mother! One of my favorite authors and I can't imagine this series without the voice of Callie.

Totally worth it !!!

“Only the Good Die Young” is a delightful addition to Julie Mulhern’s Country Club Murders series. As a later addition to the series, it subtly displays the maturity the author has gained throughout this series but is written with the innate gift of dialogue, characters and humor she has displayed from the beginning.
While this is a novella and relatively short, I found it totally worth using one of my Audible credits. I anticipate listening to it multiple times.
Oh, Frances !!! We already knew you were a schemer, but a fibber too !!! You naughty, naughty girl!!!
I loved this book and ebook. Wonderfully written and Callie Beaulieu’s narrative was perfection. Thank you both. ❤️📚

Frances Walford finds a Dead Body!

This falls into the series at 1.5 position. Seeing how Mrs. Walford acts upon finding a dead body was a unique experience. Poor woman couldn’t help wanting to hide the truth from everyone. It is bad enough that daughter Ellison usually finds the bodies.

I wish this could have been longer, but the author, Julie Mulhern was able to tell a wonderful in this space. My favorite parts were when Mrs. Walford found herself alone with Anarchy Jones. He is the homicide investigator that Ellison has developed a crush on. No matter how often she tells Ellison about more appropriate men to date, Ellison sticks to her own wishes and Frances Walford is starting to understand why.

Highly recommend.
