"Mint Juleps, Mayhem, and Murder", by Sara Rosett, is another of the Ellie Avery Mystery series. In this one, Ellie Avery and her husband, Air Force pilot Mitch get bad news at his family reunion. His boss, Col. Pershall, was just murdered and cousin Dan was shot at. With an anti-war group setting off dry ice bombs, and husband Mitch a target for the killer, Ellie is once again drawn into solving the case. The fifth Ellie Avery military homeland amateur sleuth tale is a great whodunit that deftly balances an intelligent strong investigation, increasingly dangerous incidents targeting Mitch, and life on the CONUS air force base. The cast is superb as the Avery family reunion showcases dependents and other civilians on a base while the inquiry is top rate as Avery uncovers three suspects with two having easy access. Fans will appreciate drinking mint juleps alongside of Ellie while seeking who is causing mayhem and murder. Her main character, Ellie, is a mother, wife and professional organizer and has a side business called "Everything in its Place". She is pretty much a normal officer's wife, being involved in the officer's wife club and children activities and around Robins AFB in Georgia. This is the 30 something's version of Murder, She Wrote. As a bonus, throughout the book are tips for organizing from "Everything in its Place". All this makes for a cute, fast , and enjoyable read.
