Can’t a mom just get away for a little relaxing vacation with her husband? Not if you are Ellie Avery, military spouse and amateur detective! In this third book in the Mom Zone mystery series, Ellie finds herself in the middle of another murder mystery when vacationing in Washington D.C. While her husband attends a military training, a pregnant Ellie tours the capital with the other military wives, only to witness a murder. Did a murder actually take place? Is her sister-in-law responsible? Ellie’s vacation turns upside down as she runs her own investigation and even finds herself being investigated by the police!

Getting Away Is Deadly is a contemporary take on the cozy mystery genre, full of hot topics like illegal immigration and terrorism. Sara Rosett’s attention to detail and description adds a richness to the story not often seen in cozy mysteries. Colorful characters such as the other military wives and the interior decorator add a dose of humor throughout the story. The novel really picks up speed in the middle, and you will find it hard to put down until the tidy end. The story also highlights the joys and plights of military spouses, giving readers a greater appreciation for the families of those who serve our country.

Overall, Sara Rosett’s tightly woven whodunit is an entertaining tour of the nation’s capital and fabulous new addition to the Mom Zone mystery series.

Armchair Interviews agrees.
