Sunset in Old Savannah pulls in your shirt collar and says " I want your attention right now and you better do it if you know what is good for you." why you ask?, because it is that good of  mysterious/suspenseful/adventurous/romantic book that keeps your attention peeked.  It has a fantastic starter that you do not want to miss that could or could not have a clue.  This book is exciting, mysterious, addicting because you do not want to put it down - you don't know what is going to happen next.  Evelyn is a rich woman indeed and hires Price Investigations to spy on her hubby and prove he is cheating - well did they?  I can't tell you that - but I can tell you a murder arises and the investigators are now investigating a murder - phew - aren't we having fun y'all?  You really are guessing til the end.  This book is great you really will love it.

I wanted to read a new author for me and because I enjoy mystery/suspense this seemed a good one to read. I've also been to Savannah and Tybee Island many times and loved the setting. I enjoyed the story and although not familiar with the preceding books, it had just enough backstory to satisfy me. The characters were well-written and not at all shallow. I especially enjoyed the newest employee added to Price Investigations. I'm sure there is more to come later on her story. The plot was feasible and moved at a decent pace. I didn't lose interest and felt the red herrings came at a good place. A couple of things about the story did make me wonder. I thought the forgiveness part on the client about her husbands affair was too pat and slightly unbelievable. I think she had a right to get angry and do a little rant or even cry on page. I"m assuming she did without it being written but I think as a woman and Christian, I would understand some well-placed/well-written anger. One other thing I didn't enjoy because it took me off-guard were the questions about the story at the end. I didn't read the book to learn anything but to lose myself in a story. Maybe this is part of the author/publisher deal, but it made me rethink wanting to read another book by this author. As for the publisher, I will check other books to see if this is what they do. If so, maybe they should offer a workbook and class as part of the deal. I still would recommend this book if someone asked since it is well-written and the plot is interesting. Absolutely love the setting.

Sunset in Old Savannah is the fourth installment from the Secrets of the South Mysteries series. Michael Preston and Elizabeth Kirby are hired to investigate the husband of Evelyn Doyle in Savannah, Georgia. This leads to a mystery when the husband was found dead and Evelyn becoming yet police suspect. Mike and Beth's investigation takes them to places they couldn't imagine.

I thought Sunset in Old Savannah was an okay read. There is some good suspense. Predictable but worth a read.

3 stars.

I received this book from NetGalley.com. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.

SUNSET IN OLD SAVANNAH, by Mary Ellis. Secrets.of.the.South series, with characters we have met. Price Investigations, has a case in Natchez, Miss, from a Mrs Doyle . Beth and her partner Michael to go, check it out, they have 10 days to get evidence. With evidence in hand, they show Mrs Doyle what her husband was doing. Instead of being shocked, she laughs, it's nothing but a fling, she's all of 20 something. Then murder changes everything, the schemes, suspects, the more they dig, the more corruption they find. Another great read, the plot flows smoothly, one enjoys the banter between Beth and Michael. Given ARC by Net Galley for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.
