Banking on Murder
A jilted wife, a jealous mistress, a dead banker, and three sleuthing sisters investigate, in this “sparkling slice of crime fiction” (Marion Todd, author of the Detective Clare Mackay novels).
Martha Parker runs a small private detective agency in Glasgow with her two sisters, Helen and Geri, specialising in catching cheating partners playing away from home. The Parkers have been hired by the reclusive wife of a wealthy banker she suspects is having an affair—but when he shows up murdered, it’s up to Martha, Helen, and Geri to prove the wife’s innocence in a case unlike any they have tackled before . . .
“A brilliant, sharply funny read, so refreshing to read a crime novel that also makes you laugh.” —Lisa Hall, author of The Party
“Murder, mayhem and a trio of meddling private investigators make for a hugely entertaining mystery. Banking on Murder kept me guessing while bringing a smile to my face. I can’t wait to see what the Parker sisters get up to next!” —Lisa Gray, Washington Post –bestselling author of the Jessica Shaw, PI thrillers

A Hallmark movie book
There's a lot to like here, Whitelaw knows how to write!
But the story gets dragged down by her repeatedly telling is how much the 3 sister detectives love each other. The actual mystery isn't that good either, but hey! It's first in a series and lots better than I could do.
Hope the stories and characters develop!

Action packed fun mystery
Fun mystery with three sisters. A few holes in the plot but the story engaged me. I'm just wondered about Martha's hubby. He was mentioned but wasn't a character in the story. I plan on reading the next book.

A mediocre book at best. The story didn’t captivate me, it was more about the sisters relationship than any detective work. Will probably not read any more in the series.
