Exercise in Murder

Danny Carlisle Mysteries #3

by C.E. Nelson

Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) agent Danny Carlisle is not happy. She has been pulled from a developing smuggling investigation to assist the Duluth police in their search for two missing young women. None of the excitement involved in trying to catch a band of smugglers. At least that was what Danny thought until the women turned up dead. As Danny and the Duluth police investigate, they soon find themselves following multiple leads with a suspect list that seems to grow by the day. When another woman is murdered, the police zero in on a particular suspect, but Danny isn’t convinced he is the one. She has her eye on an exclusive fitness club for young single professionals. A club where membership means you may be running for your life. “Can’t wait until the next one!!!” – Leta H.

About the author

Chuck (C.E.) Nelson is an avid angler and author of three highly rated murder mystery series.

The Trask Brothers Murder Mystery Series follows the exploits of Dave and Don Trask, identical twin brothers in law enforcement, as they chase down killers across Minnesota and beyond. Like the author, the brothers love to fish, and you'll usually find a few fishing tidbits in each book.

The Edge of Winter and Kill Six comprise the Danny Carlisle mystery series to date. Carlisle has appeared in Trask Brother's books and is a headstrong independent agent from Duluth, Minnesota, likely to get herself in more than a little bit of trouble.

Peter 'Doc' Hunter is the protagonist in Angry Sins. Doc is a BCA agent who is working on becoming a professional golfer when his day job doesn't get in the way. Doc is a good golfer - the author, not so much.

Nelson resides in Minnesota and has a cabin in Canada where he feeds his angling needs and ponders his next story.

All of his books can be found at www.cenelsonbooks.com.

Great Read

This is a great book. I could hardly put it down. It held my attention from start to finish. I will definitely read more of C.E. Nelson’s books.

Refreshingly different.

I loved the characters. I didn't love the language. One of the few mysteries that had me still guessing to the end.

[Mary McKay · Rating 5 out of 5]

A riveting murder mystery with intriguing characters. The main character is a strong-willed, fearless female detective who is afraid of nothing.

I liked the 1st chapter. A transition was sorely needed for the 2nd chapter. I stopped before the 3rd chapter due to explicit sexual suggestivity. I gave 2 stars on the off chance the book somehow improved.

Exercise can kill

A good but lightweight murder mystery. Strange how there's always someone to help when no one knows you're in trouble

[Maureen Hural · Rating 3 out of 5]

The AI narration was terrible and disappointing. I think I should have just read it and I’m sure I would have it better
