Moonlighting at the Mall by Evelyn David is the second short story in the “Sullivan Investigations” mystery series. Publisher: Evelyn David, December 2010
Twas the week before Christmas
And all through the Mall
A Thief was stealing jewelry
Time to give Mac Sullivan a call!Twas the week before Christmas
And Edgar’s wearing elf green.
He’s trying to catch a crook.
Who doesn’t want to be seen.Twas the week before Christmas
And time’s running out.
Will Sullivan Investigations succeed?
Hey, is there really any doubt?Mac Sullivan, hardboiled ex-cop and newly-minted private detective, goes undercover as Santa Claus to find the mall thief who is brazenly robbing local jewelry stores. He’s got more help than he wants. His girlfriend Rachel Brenner, makeup artist in a funeral home, is a very convincing Mrs. Claus; septuagenarian Edgar is a less-believable Elf; and Whiskey, his Irish wolfhound, steals the show as Rudolph.
Moonlighting at the Mall is the perfect “short story” holiday whodunnit, with your favorite characters from Murder Off the Books and Murder Takes the Cake. Moonlighting at the Mall has a mystery to confound you, humor to make you laugh out loud, and a romance that doesn’t need any help from mistletoe.
Mac and his team are determined to put an end to the holiday hi-jinks by catching the robbers red-handed. This was a fun mystery caper with Mac, Rachel and the ever present Whiskey that will delight you with holiday cheers.
Many thanks Dru for the kind words — and all your encouragement and support.
Marian and Rhonda, the collective Evelyn David
Thanks so much, Dru. Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Dru – Marian and I have been writing together so long that sometimes we do things at the exact same time even though we’re about 1200 miles apart – thus the two responses above. Do you feel double appreciated? Grin. Seriously, you’re the best!
You write good stories and I always look out for the next one featuring the Sullivan clan.
I did think it was funny that the both you wrote right after one another.
Love Mac and Whiskey. Great way to spend an afternoon.
I love holiday reads, especially this series. I miss Mac and Whiskey.
