I really enjoyed the
short stories, and I am hoping Ann will write more about
the characters in Encounter. I absolutely love Grace! I
want to be just like her if I make it to her age, lol. I
am also interested in learning more about the mysterious
Joe Stevens, who "fixed" everything. I'm sure there are
a wealth of stories using Lila, a newspaper reporter, as
the chief protagonist. Not all mysteries have to have a
PI or police officer. As always, a job well done. I
really love Ann's books and stories...

....and a dinner break
and a breakfast break. I couldn't put it down. Typical
Ann Mullen - full of adventure and surprises; never a
dull moment. Each of her lead characters got themselves
into some of the most unusual, and sometimes ironic,
situations. Ann packed so much into these little
stories, it was hard to believe they were just short
stories. The moral to each of the stories just added to
the tale. I only wish there had been more. Hope to see
many more in the future!

Though this is not my
type of book, my wife talked me into reading it and I
found that this is hard to put down. Being that I have
traveled all over the state, I find it interesting to
get caught up with locations knowing where they are.
Great author will definitely read the other books and
when I get caught up and sure I will be wanting the next

I LOVED THIS
BOOK! I'll admit
that I took a
chance on it,
because it was
free. What a
great mystery
with great
characters. I
was up until 2am
finishing it. I
knew I wouldn't
be able to sleep
without
finishing it. I
will definitely
get the rest of
the series as
the characters
are folks that I
want to read
more about and
get to know
better. I want
to thank whoever
was responsible
for offering
this book free,
which introduced
me to a great
writer and a
great series.

I gave this book a 5 star
rating because this is the type of reading I like. It
has mystery while showing family/friendship warmth. Mrs.
Mullen's creativity in her characters makes them come to
life. She brings out personality, loyalty and love in
her pets. I gave a 5 star rating to the first 4 books to
this series. Her stories are hard to put down. Oh,
there's more than one mystery at a time going on in her
books. She'll make you laugh when you least expect it.
Her books are a fun and easy to read. When I finish one
book, I immediately order the next one from Amazon's
Kindle books. Looking forward to book 5 of this series.
South
River Incident
Talented author Ann Mullen has once again proven her
ability to keep us captivated by spinning a tale of
murder and romance into a delightful mystery. In
Mullen’s second book, SOUTH
RIVER INCIDENT, the sequel
to WHAT YOU SEE, Jesse Watson finds herself in the hot
seat… again. Guaranteed to keep you guessing until the
very end, this book is a fascinating whodunit. Mullen’s
unique style of writing, along with her collection of
colorful characters, intrigues the reader and makes them
yearn for more.

determination!”—Midwest Book Review

I do enjoy reading books
containing mystery, romance, humor and family. I can
tell in the first couple of chapters of a book if I'm
going to stay with it. If it's hard for me to put down,
I love it! I found this to be true in Ann Mullen's first
and second books of her Jesse Watson series, What You
See and South River Incident. I'm looking forward
reading the rest of series. The first two e-books I
bought off Amazon. Oh, on a
personal note, I was raised in Newport News, VA and
attended Newport News High School. One of my classmates
told be about this author. She is a wonderful author!

I
loved Book 1 in this series, What You See, so I decided
to read Book 2. I am so glad! I love these characters
and love the way the author weaves a well-told mystery
with a dash of humor. I do like a little hint of humor
with my mysteries and so far this series has been just
right. Since I have a dog that I take for long walks in
the woods nearly every day, I could really sympathize
with Jesse, and how she must have felt when her dogs
brought in a severed hand. Yikes! Highly entertaining. I
can't wait to see what Jesse and Billy get into next.
A Crying
Shame
A “page-turning” mystery, Ann Mullen’s
3rd book in the series,
A CRYING SHAME, "is an
enthralling read from beginning to end. Readers will
follow Jesse through an increasingly devious and
mysterious plot as she discovers a seemingly random
murder in the house of a missing man. A CRYING SHAME is
very highly recommended for its intriguing plot,
engaging characters, and the many twists and turns which
it brings the reader through to a very clever
conclusion."—Midwest Book Review

*5 stars a little bit of everything...
January 22, 2012 by
Laura B "Laura B" (VA)
I have
this entire series in hardcover (except for the last
one, yet!) This is a series that I read again every time
a new one comes out. I have gladly paid $20+ for each
one, and would gladly pay much more than the Kindle
price just to have them so handy!! They are a
combination mystery/comedy/action :) a little of
everything
They take place mostly in the countryside around
Charlottesville, Va. Shenandoah river, Gordonsville,
Stanardsville... Since I vacation there fairly regularly
I am a little familiar with the towns and places named
in the books. That makes them even more interesting.
I recommend these to just about anyone. They are very
definitely "family" rated:) Anyone who is a Stephanie
Plum fan (or who was, but is getting tired of the same
gags in every book!) will probably love these. That was
my thought when I first read "A Crying Shame", the first
in the series. Since then I have decided that Jesse is
much more real, and has grown with each book. Still
funny, still getting into all kinds of scrapes - but
they are all still believable. Each book is like
catching up with old friends, and I am always sorry when
I reach the end of the story. Every book in the series
seems to introduce us to someone new, and this one is no
exception. There is a fairly large cast of continuing
characters throughout the series, and somehow Ann Mullen
makes them all very real. Each book in the series could
be read as a standalone - but I cant imagine just
wanting to read one.
Middle
River Murders
The 4th in the series, follows the happenings of the
Stanardsville Social Club as women are killed off and
everyone blames the one person who swears she is
innocent, but has everything to gain.
"Few authors can make me
laugh while I'm shaking in my boots. Ann Mullen
accomplishes this by weaving suspense, humor, and
refreshing realism together on every page. Her
characters have become so real to me that I can't help
looking for them sometimes as I cruise through Central
Virginia on Rt. 29."—Cora
Chlebnikow, Reading Specialist
"... a feel good book
with all the twists and turns readers have come to
expect from Ann Mullen. Middle River Murders is a
spellbinding mystery that takes Jesse on her most
heart-stopping, intriguing journey yet. You won't be
able to put it down until every page is turned!"

"Jesse's life is a roller coaster ride
that takes the reader right along with her. You don't
want to miss the suspense and intrigue!"—Anna

Another great mystery starring Jesse and Billy. It was
