Mavis Davis Mysteries #1
My First Murder
Mavis Davis, a likable, new-to-the-job private investigator, not only has one of the wackiest office staffs in mystery fiction, but also goes about solving her first crime in her own, independent, highly interesting way.
When greasy-spoon cafe owner Carl Singleton shows up wanting to hire Mavis to solve the murder of one of his waitresses, Doris Jones, a woman with whom he has fallen in love, Mavis reluctantly takes the job especially when Carl confesses that all the other private investigators in Houston have turned him down. But, facts are facts, and Mavis has to face the fact that she has bills to pay that serving legal papers won't cover.
Though the Houston Police Department, including Mavis' boyfriend Sgt. Ben Sorensen, get in her face and try to discourage her, Mavis dives head first into the case. What she learns is, there is scandal deep in the heart of Texas. She only hopes she can uncover it before it's too late for her.

About the author
Susan P. Baker
20 books75 followersMy English war bride mother was a real penny pincher, but in the early years of their marriage, my parents had to pinch pennies. Not long after my mother arrived in the U.S., she encouraged my father to complete his education. He used the GI Bill to obtain a law degree while she was having four babies and working part time doing such odd jobs as collecting the money out of coin-operated machines in washaterias.
We moved to Galveston when I was four, which is when my father claimed he taught me to read. We lived on the water, swimming, fishing, and crabbing in Offatts Bayou. As far as I can remember, we had no purchased books in our house when I was growing up. We didn't have the money. But Mom took the four of us to the Rosenberg Library every two weeks where we'd check out the maximum number of books allowed, six each. We even took library books on vacation with us so we could read them in the car instead of fussing and constantly asking, "Are we there yet?"
I wanted to be a writer when I grew up. I used to write little stories as well as entertain my invisible friend, Sally, who lived in my side of the closet. My parents discouraged me from seeking a writing career, so after several false starts I eventually obtained a BS in Criminal Justice.
I finally was hired as a Probation Officer about a week before I started law school. I was married with a couple of kids of my own by then, so I worked and attended Law School (in Houston) for three years.
I mostly practiced criminal and family law. In fact, I was board certified in family law. After eight years of practicing law, I ran for district court judge and was elected. I was the first woman in Galveston County to run.
By that time, I was writing a lot. I'd published My First Murder. I moved away and back to Galveston several times and now live in Cypress near my younger daughter.
People often approach me with ideas for books, but with a background like mine, I have no shortage of my own.

Mavis Davis used to be a probation officer in Houston, but got tired of the bureaucracy, red tape, and those who were more interested in rules than helping those who needed help. So she got herself a license and opened up a private investigation office. Most of the work is just routine document searches to support the probation service she no longer works for. But as an investigator she sets her own rules and can own all the success earned. She never expects to get caught up in more criminal investigations.
But when Carl Singleton shows up begging for help in a murder case, she's interested. Carl owns a diner and one of his waitresses, a woman he had grown very fond of, has been strangled. The police believe Doris Jones is just the latest in what looks to be a serial killer's agenda, but Carl is certain that Doris's death was more personal. He's sure there's something in her mysterious past that led to her death. That's right--mysterious past. Doris showed up out of the blue looking for a job and was very secretive about her past. She got no mail at the apartment above the diner and didn't seem to have any friends. Mavis isn't sure what she can do that the police couldn't do better, but Carl asks that she try. Especially since the police are more focused on the serial killer than the individual women who have been strangled. If nothing else, maybe Mavis can discover where Doris came from and who she really was.
Once Mavis and her assistants start digging, they discover that Doris Jones wasn't the woman's real name. And that there was good reason for her to hide out in a town far from where she belonged. The difficulty is figuring out which of the characters from her real life found out where she was and killed her. And will Mavis be able to find out the answer before the killer decides to get rid of the nosey private investigator as well?
This is a decent debut mystery for Susan Baker, a probation officer/lawyer/judge turned mystery author. It is definitely a procedural-style rather than a puzzle plot and readers who hope to spot the clues and figure out the killer and the motive before Mavis Davis may be disappointed. If you're okay with riding shotgun with a private eye on her first murder case, then this makes for a pretty enjoyable read. For myself, I just wish I liked the main characters more. None of them were quite right. I particularly had difficulty with Mavis and her boyfriend--they didn't seem to click until the very end and by then it was a bit late for me. Ben Sorensen could have been in her corner a little bit sooner instead of coming down so heavy on her. But at least he was there when it counted.

Initially had a hard time figuring out what timeline the story followed. Some research & I found out that the book was first published in 1989. Written in the present timeline of 80’s, the story follows Mavis Davis, a private investigator in her 30’s who is hired to investigate the murder of a woman in her 30’s by a cafe owner.
It was a quirky, funny read. Mavis has a good sense of humor which matched her stubbornness to grind down to every last detail.
She straightened up a bit, as if in an attempt to look down her nose at me, but I was taller, so my nose was higher than hers.
That was funny coz I almost snorted my tea

Mafia Davis...
Enjoyed the characters and became immersed quickly. I found myself wanting to know who were the people involved. Rooting for Davis the whole time

I had never heard of this author before
I'm really pleased I found her books. The first half of this book, to me, was too slow. No action and not much talk, concerning information, on the case. Once Mavis goes to Austin, things begin to get interesting. It felt like she went back and forth, with the suspects. She'd ask a few questions, leave with little information. This seemed to go on with each person she talked to. Then back to the first person and so on. Each person she gave way too much information, about why she was there. It was like she pasted a sign on her forehead, TARGET! The closer to the end a few more characters were brought in and after that it was pretty obvious who was the killer. The book was interesting. I would recommend reading it or one of her other books. It did hold my interest, although, I wished it had been shorter, or read faster.

When you are intimately familiar with a city, it's fun to read a book with that city as the background. As a local, our family lived in and used Dickinson State Bank and went to the Dickinson Strawberry Festival each May. I would expect Mavis to live in the Montrose area (and she does). Actually, when I read the blurb and saw it was located in Houston, I decided to read the story.
Mavis Davis is an engaging new private investigator and the author's writing style is smooth and captures the reader's interest immediately. There are lots of red herrings, possible suspects, and dangerous doings in this story. I loved it and flew through the pages to get to the solution. Now I'm off to find another Mavis Davis story.
When I finished this book, I noticed her photo and realized that she was a familiar figure from our lives in Galveston County, Tx. Judge Baker succeeded her father on the bench (Judge Andrew Baker) and had nice newspaper articles written about the innovative ideas she brought to the court (CASA comes to mind). I didn't realize she'd become a successful authoress; I was just sorry that she retired from serving on the bench in Galveston County.

Mavis Davis is a new PI that is doing everything she can to stay afloat while she tries to build her business. From photocopying to serving legal papers for lawyers, she was still barely making it. She has two employees, an assistant with a few quirks, and a part time teenager with an upbeat can-do attitude that changes her hair color on an almost daily basis.
When she gets to work one morning, she reads in the paper that another victim of a serial killer has been found. But, her boss shows up on her door determined to hire Mavis to find the real killer.
Her search takes her from Houston to Austin to the Dallas/Fort Worth area where she runs into someone who doesn't want her investigating this particular death.
This book has just about everything you could want. From drug dealers to crooked members of the law. Several humorous moments to times you will be sitting on the edge of your seat. You also have well developed characters and a nice surprise ending.

This was so terribly written, I could not go beyond the first third. Topping that was a very self-centered first-person narration that wanted so bad to be hip (even for the 80s/90s!). I tried to push myself to like this mystery, but the author was bent to make me regard it otherwise. For those with certain biases, this might be a ground for solidifying them. It wouldn't stand as much today; such a shame.

"My First Murder," A Mavis Davis Mystery, by Susan P. Baker includes suspenseful twists and turns along with a host of engaging characters. Mavis is a private detective who is also a process server – serving subpoenas, doing background investigations and such. "My First Murder" centers on the death of Doris Jones, who works as a waitress at a small café in Houston. Her employer, Carl, suspects that there is more to Doris than the simple appearance she donned as a waitress and pays Mavis to investigate. This leads Mavis on a dangerous trail of discovery and corruption. As she works the case, Mavis is slammed with the sexist assumptions of the Houston police department, its detectives and her own boyfriend. This tension adds to the frustration of the major protagonist but does not defeat her. The story inspires readers as Baker maintains a brisk pace from one revelation to another. Baker’s book is a must read that will keep you engaged from beginning to end.

This is a short read, just over 200 pages. Pleasant writing style but unfortunately I couldn’t really take to Mavis Davis. Apparently published in 1989, Mavis belonged in the era where one smoked in bars and cafes; used paper telephone directories, had small portable TVs, counted on a chair wedged under a doorknob for security etc.
However, it was her attitude (playing the helpless female, speaking to her cop boyfriend in a little girl voice, having all these big, male macho policemen who bossed her around and tried to intimidate her) which creeped me out.
Mavis seems to have been programmed to play the helpless female, needing a big, strong man to take care of her. Her best friend who worked in the office seemed to be cut from the same cloth and was equally dippy.
Mavis blundered her way through the mystery and successfully solved it.

My First Murder, the first book in Susan P. Baker's Mavis Davis Mysteries, had all the features of a great mystery. Great characters, great plot and relatable dialogue.
I like mysteries with realistic characters. Mavis Davis and the characters helping to lay out Baker's story fit the bill!
I like mysteries with a strong storyline that doesn't stretch my imagination with unbelievable details. My First Murder fits the bill.
I like clean mysteries which put more emphasis on a story built around solving the "mystery" as opposed to presenting the graphic, violent details of said mystery and/or the sexual dalliances of on or more characters. Once again, My First Murder fits the bill.
Highly recommend.

#1 in the Huston, Texas private mid 30's investigator Mavis Davis mystery series.
Mavis Davis is a new-to-the-job private investigator with off beat staff of two women, that is struggling financially with process serving and low level items. At a financial low point, a small cafe owner wants to hire Mavis (all ready been turned down by other PI's) to solve the murder of one of his waitresses. Mavis reluctantly takes the job as she never investigated a murder, but the money she'll get trumps her misgivings.
Turns out the murdered waitress is not who she is calling herself and the Mavis as to identify who she actually is and then investigate where she disappeared from to find the murder and why she disappeared leaving a husband and two teenage daughters behind.

My First Murder by Susan P Baker
Mavis Davis is keen to get her Private Investing office noticed and when a client enters, sure that his friend has been murdered, she finds herself enthusiastically involved in solving this murder and getting justice for the family of the dead woman. It is well thought out, not an easy solve and Mavis is extremely fortunate in having a boyfriend in the police force who can help her set up the suspects. I enjoyed this ebook and hope to read more of her novels. I was given this book but review is entirely my own.

I had fun reading this book. At first I thought the plot was structured like a traditional murder mystery that I enjoy reading for casual escape entertainment. However I was sucked into Mavis’s story on several levels. I was a very young probation and parole counselor just out of college, and for that reason I wanted to know more about Mavis. I also was delighted that Mavis was determined to help and rescue herself. I thought that made some of the many plot twists more interesting. This was a great Saturday winter afternoon read. I will look forward to other books in this series.

First Murder: Mavis Davis Mysteries is such a fun blend of quirky characters and a clever plot. Mavis Davis and her coworkers bring spunk and passion to every page, making the mystery feel lively and engaging.
The case itself mixes love, humor, and betrayal, but what really stood out to me was how Susan P. Baker fleshes out the victim’s background. It adds depth and makes you feel like you’re solving the case right alongside Mavis.
If you enjoy your murder mysteries with a dash of comedy and plenty of personality, this one’s worth picking up.

I liked that the story was set in Houston (and Austin and Dallas). It was fun knowing where the characters were driving or walking around. The dialogue wasn’t always believable, I wasn’t super into her relationship (pet peeve of a woman taking to her boyfriend in a “little girl voice”), and some of the reveal was easy to figure out a little earlier than I would have liked. Overall it was good, but I don’t think I will be continuing the series.

Really enjoyed this mystery. Alot of really interesting characters. Mavis just doesn't ever quit, she's very serious about her job, even though others, including her boyfriend, think she's in over her head and should butt out. The layers of everyone's lies and deceit are pulled back til she realizes who the killer is and why. The story is very well written and very interesting. Well worth the effort.

2.5. I'm always surprised when an educated woman writer makes the female character stupid around men, not recognize the controlling behaviors of their men as the red flags they are, and seem not to be able to think beyond the next step and wind up in the most ridiculous situations. Who tells everybody they meet EVERYTHING they know and wonder how trouble finds them? Are people really that stupid?

This is a 4.5 🌟 read rounded ⬆️ to 5 🌟.
Oooh ..... an intelligent whodunit! I loved every thrilling minute of Mavis Davis (sue her parents for the name 😂) - her commanding use of facetiousness, her plucky courage and ability to forge ahead into new directions for women. A few things threw me as I was reading, but then I remembered this took place in the 80s and I adjusted things accordingly. I look forward to reading the next book in the series which I already have on my Kindle.

I love page turning fun murder mysteries and this is one of the best. The main character; Mavis Davis, is a "hoot". The murder itself is interesting; is it part of a serial killing spree, a random murder, or something much more planned? The setting is Houston Texas with a little bit of Austin and Ft Worth thrown into the mix. A great weekend rainy day read!

Why
Investigating is simply asking why long enough for the truth to shake loose. That and staying alive while the bad guys try to make your investigation go away.
They say that the bumblebees flies because it doesn't know that it shouldn't be able to do so, just like a newbie investigator solving a crime by doing what she shouldn't.
Loved the "good guys" being the criminals.

Mavis Davis left her state job to start her own business of investigating. She and her two employees were not making a lot of money so when a restaurant owner came in to hire her to investigate who his waitress was after she was murdered. Mavis started checking it out and getting into lots of trouble and stirring up causes for the murder.

Complex
When Mavis Davis is hired to look into the murder of a waitress at a local diner, she is excited about her first criminal case. As she digs deeper into the murder, she is certain the murder was personal. The plot is complex but fast-paced. It is well edited. Mavis may be inexperienced, but she is tenacious.

Well-constructed murder mystery
Nothing complicated or flowery – just a good entertaining mystery.
Believable uncomplicated characters flow through a complex series of events leading to the ultimate solving of what initially was thought to be a routine murder. Along the way, a few other mysteries are also solved. Nicely written.

He checked her out, she still didn’t think she was qualified, let the police do there job. Doris was nice, quiet, had a good background, but didn’t mention it, keep quiet. She was a riddle, and Mr.Singleton wanted answers. Could she work around the police, and get answers. Interesting to read

I’ve been reading a lot of free books here recently.... this was another one. At first I just could not get into it, but I didn’t dislike it and I didn’t want to throw in the towel. I hate not finishing a book. Luckily for me the action kicked up towards the end and I rather enjoyed it.

Annoying To not be able to get a sense of character At 1 point The protagonist be a woman in her mid 30s but yet Claims that she has had in 1965Mustang from the beginning. Mistakes like that are just not acceptable

Mavis and Murder
Susan P. Baker just made my favorite authors list. This promises to be a great series as Investigator Mavis Davis solves her first murder. I'm starting book 2 immediately.
