Why you must read Mary Ann Edwards’ Brilliant Disguise
Brilliant Disguise is the first book in The Detective Charlie McClung Mysteries. It is set in Georgia during the early 1980s when times were a little more simple but crime-solving more difficult. Charlie is giving up his quest for the girl his granny said was waiting for him. So he moves away from the big city and his close-knit family in search of a new life in a small town police department. But during the investigation of an apparent suicide, he meets Marian Selby. Marian swore never to love again after the death of her husband but her feelings for McClung are fighting for control. What should be a simple suicide turns into a tangled web of deceit, corruption, and complicated shadows. Can the two of them comes to grips with their feeling for each other before the killer closes in on them? You’ve said that this novel launches a new mystery series; who is it aimed at? Very wise indeed. Which other mystery writer is this series reminiscent of? Oh wow, those are huge shoes to fill. Introduce us to the cast you’re going to do it with. The second main character is Marian Francis Selby. She is also 47 and a stunning beauty. Her beloved husband, Lee, was killed in a plane crash leaving her a very rich widow. Marian can’t let go of him even though it has been 11 years since he died. Marian is a master gardener and an excellent cook. Joan Delaney is Marian’s best friend. Three times married and currently single, Joan is a seamless blend of Grace Kelly and Marilyn Monroe with Carol Burnett’s laugh and humor. Joan owns the local posh restaurant, The Primrose Cottage. We like the sound of Joan. What about you? Tell us about the rest of your life. Monkeys don’t write; they type Shakespeare! Do you do social media? What’s next? Eight?!
