"I love hearing from my readers!" 

                   —Ann Mullen

Press Release:

Uniquely talented author Ann Mullen, whose work gently beckons, and then sucks you in, has created a window into the life of a delightful, modern day woman turned sleuth. Set in the mountains of Virginia, WHAT YOU SEE, provides a suspenseful tale of murder and deceit that will hold you captive until the very end. It is the first book in a fascinating new series and promises to be a nail-biter you can’t put down.

What folks are saying about:

WHAT YOU SEE

"I have always wondered what incites a person to commit such acts of violence against another. The lengths to which they will go to conceal their crime are astonishing. WHAT YOU SEE gave me the opportunity to delve into the dark world of a killer and the devastation caused by such a vile crime, and still come out with my hands clean, and my mind intact.” —Ann Mullen

"Mullen’s descriptive style of writing allows her to develop characters that readers will identify with, and the verbal pictures she puts onto paper are not soon forgotten."—Brandy Garrow, Archeologist.

“…captivating mystery…WHAT YOU SEE clearly establishes author Ann Mullen as an original and gifted writer, as well as leaving the reader looking eagerly toward the next Jesse Watson mystery!” Midwest Book Review

“…I was turning pages at warp speed!” —Elyse Thibodeaux, The Examiner, Beaumont, Texas

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."

“I love making up stories that people can relate to,” says Ann Mullen. “I get so tired of the same silliness and ho-hum sagas, or the brutal, blood-guts-and-gore stories that causes nightmares. When people read my books, I want them to walk away with a good feeling and to be able to sleep at night.”

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

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
