The shock Ellie Cummins felt when her husband informed her that he was bankrupt shook her, but their separation, at his instigation more than ruffled her feathers. Ellie realised their marriage had been a sham for a long time and was planning to tell him that; his beating her to it threw all her preconceived ideas. But when Ellie found herself a job after many years out of the workforce, moved in with her daughter Miranda, and settled in to her new life, she was content.

Ellie, Cass and Kandy ha The shock Ellie Cummins felt when her husband informed her that he was bankrupt shook her, but their separation, at his instigation more than ruffled her feathers. Ellie realised their marriage had been a sham for a long time and was planning to tell him that; his beating her to it threw all her preconceived ideas. But when Ellie found herself a job after many years out of the workforce, moved in with her daughter Miranda, and settled in to her new life, she was content.

Ellie, Cass and Kandy had been best friends for what seemed like forever. There for each other, their catch-up times were always filled with fun and laughter. Kandy was married to a wealthy older man, while Cass was married with two children. When Ellie and Cass went to the block of apartments in Brisbane which were being renovated, in order for Ellie to measure up for her designer job, they had no idea their lives were about to change in a traumatic manner. Cass’ wild scream alerted Ellie – the body of the young woman on the floor of the apartment would be embedded in their minds forever.

As Ellie became embroiled in the mystery of the murdered girl, she discovered things she wished she hadn’t. But with no idea she was in danger, and the police frustrated, Ellie, Cass and Kandy decided to dig deeper. What would happen when secrets, lies and deception trickled to the surface? And why was the vibrant and fun-filled Kandy acting in a manner completely unlike her usual self?

Murder, Mayhem and Men on Pause by Aussie author Sandy Curtis was an entertaining read, filled with laugh out loud moments, mystery and a mixture of twists and red herrings. I loved the twist on the title (when I worked out what it was!) – very clever. And when I arrived at the very satisfying ending, I realised there is another to follow! Can’t wait to read it! The three friends are great characters; strong and determined to embrace whatever life throws at them. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of Curtis’ previous works, and have no hesitation in highly recommending Murder, Mayhem and Men on Pause to all.

With thanks to the publisher for this ecopy to read in exchange for my honest review.

Another great read by Sandy Curtis. Murder, Mayhem and Men on Pause is the story of three women friends who support each other no matter what. It is mainly Ellie's story starting from when her marriage falls apart. It's rewarding to see Ellie picking herself up and starting again. She soon meets a gorgeous uncomplicated guy, a cop named Chris, who is the type of hero we dream about. Kind, brave and supportive. Although it is funny in places, Curtis doesn't shy away from the unsexy time of life t ...more
