*5 Stars Great Read, October 15, 2012 by CAPTAIN CABLE

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 to come out...

*5 stars Love this book! April 9, 2012 by Laughing Raccoon

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. :-)

*5 stars January 24, 2012 by Tommy

Janet Evanovich sans profanity. No cursing. A great story with an ending unlike any other. Looking forward to the next one in the series, South River Incident. Five stars for this one.

*5 Stars Warm, exciting and wonderful! Brenda Reid April 13, 2013.

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.

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.

“… a pulse-pounding adventure of quick wits and ruthless determination!”—Midwest Book Review

*5 Stars  another great read, November 10, 2012

By CAPTAIN CABLE

Book two keeps you going like the first. Only problem is when reading during lunch not wanting to stop when lunch is over. Can wait to get reading the next. Keep the books coming out and I will keep reading.

*5 Stars  VERY ENTERTAINING!, March 25, 2013

By Brenda Reid

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!

*5 Stars  Hooked, September 26, 2012

By Laughing Raccoon

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 “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.

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!" —Diane Reid, Editor, BR Marine, Inc.

"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 Alexander, Poet

"spine-tingling mystery... a keep-`em guessing whodunnit that draws the reader in and refuses to let go until the last page."—Midwest book Review

A suspenseful and emotional rollercoaster ride! I admire the way Ann Mullen can reach out and pull the reader into her world of words. Greene County Killer is an excellent murder mystery book.

I think I experienced every emotion under the sun on this one. Talk about action. Kudos to Ann Mullen on another excellent Jesse Watson mystery. I only wish Jesse and Billy were real folks, as they are definitely people I would love to get to know. This was definitely a rollercoaster read. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

*5 Stars  Book My Reservation, October 2, 2012

By Laughing Raccoon

Another great mystery starring Jesse and Billy. It was so well-written my only regret was the Bella Constance is fictional. If that cruise ship were real, I would be saving up my nickles and dimes to book a trip. What a wild romp with twists and turns and non-stop action. Trouble in paradise, indeed. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

By Tommy

"Where do I sign up for a cruise on the Bella Constance? Love the characters that Ann Mullen brings to life, and can't wait to see if they'll show up again in her next book."

Book 7 in the series proves that people will do almost anything when it comes to money. Kill, lie, cheat, steal... you name it.

5 Stars  What a wild ride October 3, 2012

By Laughing Raccoon

This is one book that kept me guessing until the end. There was suspense galore. The only thing wrong with this book is it is the last book in the series until Ann Mullens gets the next one written. I see a bad case of withdrawl coming on, lol. Kudos to Ann on another great mystery. Oh, and Ann, write fast, because I want to see what happens next. :-)

5 Stars  All About the Money April 7, 2012

Stunning, shocking, and over the top suspenseful! Truly unpredictable. Ann Mullen's talent for drawing you into the world of Jesse Watson and Billy Blackhawk is amazing. You feel as if you're right there with them--through all their adventures.
