Mac Sullivan is a former cop and now a private detective.  Financially he is not a huge success, in fact with no car, he borrows vehicles from his friend the entrepreneur/funeral director Jeff.  Mac also has Whiskey.  Whiskey is an Irish Wolfhound and she is a wonderful dog.  She is smart, choosy about who becomes her friend, and will eat anything in her path.Rachel Brenner is a new employee at the funeral home.  She is divorced, has a son in college and a brother who may be an embezzler and murderer.Mac is hired to find the stolen money, his former cop buddies are after Rachel's brother for murder.  And Rachel is determined to find the guilty party because she knows her brother Dan would never do anything terrible.Mac is pushed into hiring JJ as his secretary.  She has a head that is partially shaved, she is brilliant with computers, she knows people, and she is smart as a whip.  I feel pretty sure that JJ will become one of my favorite characters in a book.The mystery is a good one and you must pay attention to find the correct path.  The embezzlement scheme is very involved and the total amount missing seems to be around half a million dollars.  That is definitely enough money to make murder a viable option to cover one's tracks.This is a first in a series, and I look forward to reading the next book in the series.  I have read other books by Evelyn David and I recommend the writing.  You will find that the books have humor along with the mystery.  You will also find that the plots are terrific and the characterizations are first class.  The people you meet in these books are generally people you will want to get to know.  And Sullivan Investigation Mysteries are books which should be in your future.
