Synopsis

It's 1974 and Ellison Russell's life revolves around her daughter and her art. She's long since stopped caring about her cheating husband, Henry, and the women with whom he entertains himself. That is, until she becomes a suspect in Madeline Harper's death. The murder forces Ellison to confront her husband's proclivities and his crimes—kinky sex, petty cruelties, and blackmail.

As the body count approaches par on the seventh hole, Ellison knows she has to catch a killer. But with an interfering mother, an adoring father, a teenage daughter, and a cadre of well-meaning friends demanding her attention, can Ellison find the killer before he finds her?

About Julie Mulhern

Julie Mulhern is the USA Today bestselling author of the Country Club Murders series. She is a Kansas City native who grew up on a steady diet of Agatha Christie. She spends her spare time whipping up gourmet meals for her family, working out at the gym, and finding new ways to keep her house spotlessly clean-and she's got an active imagination. Truth is, she's an expert at calling for take-out, she grumbles about walking the dog, and the dust bunnies under the bed have grown into dust lions.

In addition to mysteries, Julie writes historical, romantic suspense. Her first romance, A Haunting Desire, was a finalist in the 2014 Golden Heart® contest.

Goodreads review by Ivonne on December 24, 2015

I loved The Deep End’s Ellison Russell from the very first page. Funny, astute, and rebellious — well, as rebellious as a member of Kansas City’s WASP elite could be (not much; cf. Mrs. Bridge).

So fun to have an irreverent mystery series set in Kansas City and in the 70's! It's like having our own Stephanie Plum -- there is even a potential love triangle. Ellison Russell is having a bad week and it all starts with the dead body she bumps into while doing her morning laps. That body is her......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on November 23, 2014

Couldn't get enough of the biting sense of humor, the characters, the plot. I found myself constantly re-reading passages because of Mulhern's descriptive elements and wit. Her nod to cultural references of the 70's, woven in just enough to not slap you in the face with the setting, made me want to......more

Goodreads review by Carrie on January 06, 2015

THE DEEP END is the debut mystery novel by Julie Mulhern. (Julie is a fellow 2014 Golden Heart® finalist and I received a free copy of her book from her publisher Henery Press.) It’s 1974 in Kansas City. Ellison Russell, an artist, heads to her country club for her customary early morning swim. She n......more

Goodreads review by Miglė on August 10, 2019

This has to be the most upper-middle class book I have ever read. I mean, Agatha Christie often gets criticized because only upper-class characters are involved, and the servants and blue-collar people are largely ignored in her books, but this takes the cake. Maybe it's the lack of social-awareness......more
