The Irish family is charming. The murder has many suspects. I raced through this in one day. Once I had settled on a suspect, I had to keep reading to make certain I had guessed correctly. I want to read the first in this series and hope there will be more to come.
This is the second book in the series. It continues a short time after the first book. It is a continuation of Charlie and Marian's story.
I found all the new characters to be introduced in a way that you never felt overwhelmed even though there were a lot of new characters.
The large family of Charlie is a great addition to this story. I love the feeling of closeness and how the family will do anything for each other.

The problem with this mystery is that the fantastic McClung clan turned up and simply overwhelmed me with their charm. What fabulous prospective in-laws for Marian. So I could have simply read about them -- especially Ma.
But the mystery is solid, the suspects well established and Mary Anne Edwards plays fair with readers, scattering clues.
I don't want to give away any spoilers, so I'll just say -- perfect ending.

This was a nail biting twist and turn who did it book.. I loved the way you can feel the emotions of excitement of the mystery and then the romance between Charlie and Marian. The way the characters and settings flow in the book make you feel like you are there trying to solve the mystery with them. The suspense had me to where I found it very hard to put the book down.. This is a MUST Read.. So glad I found The Charlie McClung Mysteries..
Charlie goes home to see his family. He takes Marian with him. He's not ready for what he's about to be a part in. He's got to help solve a murder of a local girl who was gonna be a nun

A Good Girl

4.5
Charlie is taking Marian home to meet his family. They don't even get a proper introduction before a dead body turns up at a local antiques store. Although it not Charlie's case, it is his hometown so he is quickly asked by Luke to help out with the investigation. It is a small town that does not see a lot of homicides, so Charlie's help is needed. In the meantime, Marian gets to know Charlie's family.

Another great book by Mary Anne Edwards! She is quickly becoming one of my favorite suspense crime novelist. This book kept me pulled in throughout the whole book. I couldn't figure out "who dun it" and I loved that about this book. I kept trying to figure out the murderer only to be wrong again!

Part of my problem with this book (I know it's my own foible... A crazy one at that) is that I dislike the word Ma... somehow it seems disrespectful to me! Mary Kathleen insists on being called just that! Not just by her family and soon to be daughter in-law but by the whole church family and by most of the town.. So I kinda got "Ma'd" to death. Also the big reveal in the book wasn't so big as I pretty much knew who did it... Maybe it wasn't really intended to be a reveal but more a confirmation

I have now added Mary Anne Edwards to the top of my list of must have next in a series. She writes her mysteries in such a way, you stay engrossed in the story. You might have your suspicions throughout the story but the reasoning will surprise you. The group of characters in this the 2nd in the McClung Mysteries were a wild mix. Loving family, screwed up relationships, naughty girls and sick minds. Each book can be read as a stand alone mystery, you are not left hanging. I would love to find my

After reading the first book in the series, I was really looking forward to this one. The mystery itself can be stand alone. It is the development of the characters and their lives that make this part of a great series. I have found that I really do like detective mystery books after reading these two books!
This book was engrossing and hard to put down. I loved every p ...more
The second book in the series picks up soon after the first, with another crime and another mystery.
It introduces us to Charlie's extended family who were fun and likeable. The introduction of so many new characters was done in such a way as to not overwhelm you.
Each book could be read as a stand-alone mystery because you are not left hanging, but you wouldn't have the background or see the love developing between Charlie & Marian.

Who is the good girl: The pathetic, old, ugly cow, the one blessed with beauty and charm, or the one who has had two great loves in her life? Who is the bad boy: The father, the boyfriend, the taxi driver, or the priest? How can a wedding be planned and the murder solved in only three days. It’s easy peasy when the McClung Clan is in charge. This was another very good read by Mary Anne Edwards and I highly recommend it.

This is the 2nd book in the series but can be read as a stand alone. Charlie and Mariam story continues and again you will find a well written plot with interesting characters. A great cozy mystery with suspense, murder, and romance that will keep you thoroughly immersed in the book to the last page. This one is my favorite so far.
Second book to a brilliant series
Wow. We finally find out how Marian and Charlie are doing. We get to meet the rest of McClung family. And of course we got another murder. I love this series, and the writing. I recommend this series to anyone.
