“Murder and jealousy wrapped in charm and wit, the novel is a delightful read!”

Mistaken identities, romantic rivals, and a host of misunderstandings.

The Harlow Brothers are back at Inglenook Resort, and not just because Edward is missing his long-distance love, Claudia Inglenook. The former college linebacker turned ghost writer of the Aunt Civility etiquette books is the guest of honor at a charity fundraiser.

At the kickoff costume ball, one of the guests is found impaled with the sword from Edward’s Zorro outfit. As Nicholas, the author’s brother and secretary, attempts to find the real killer, he comes up against suspects and motives he’d rather not reveal. Then he discovers a secret that could mean the end of Aunt Civility.

Edward and Nicholas push to find the truth, but when the killer targets those the real Aunt Civility loves, solving the mystery becomes a fight for survival.

Mistaken identities, romantic rivals, and a host of misunderstandings make this third Harlow Brothers mystery a fun read.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jacqueline Vick writes mysteries that include farcical situations and satirical humor. She writes about characters who are reluctant to accept their greatest (and often embarrassing) gifts.

She is the author of THE FRANKIE CHANDLER PET PSYCHIC MYSTERIES about a woman who, after faking her psychic abilities for years, discovers animals can communicate with her. The series evolved out of her desperate attempts to train a rescued mutt with fear-based aggression. Two visits with animal communicators inspired the article Calling All Canine Clairvoyants for Fido Friendly Magazine, and, later, Frankie Chandler.

Her second series, THE HARLOW BROTHER MYSTERIES, features brothers Edward and Nicholas Harlow. Edward, a former college linebacker, now ghost writes the Aunt Civility etiquette books. Nicholas is his secretary and general dogsbody.

Her first mystery, Family Matters, was a semifinalist in the 2009 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Competition. Her short stories have appeared in numerous publications, including Future Mystery Anthology Magazine and The Best of Everyday Fiction Two Anthology. Her Harlow Brothers novella, Lovely As, was a finalist for the Black Orchid Novella Contest.

When she isn’t writing, she “helps” her husband with his jigsaw puzzles or, worse, tests new recipes on him.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Deadly Truth
    Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2021

    The Harlow Brothers return to the scene of the crime… When last at the Inglenook Inn there were several murders. The Brothers Harlow solved that one. Now they are back for an event that will hopefully invigorate Edward’s book sales. He pens the Aunt Civility books on etiquette even though his role is secret. He poses as Aunt Civility’s spokesman.

    A tea for teens is going to be presented to help the younger crowd learn the finer points of entertaining. At the opening event is a rival for the affections of the lady Edward would like in his life even though his brother dislikes Claudia… and the feeling is mutual.

    At the costume ball the first night Edward comes as Zorro. So do several other guests. During the evening Edward and Benjamin clash. A duel is mentioned. Later that night Ben turns up with Edward’s sword in his back.

    Edward might be a suspect, but his brother Nicholas tells us there are more people with a grudge against Old Ben and some of them are close to the Brother’s Harlow.

    As facts are uncovered, both bros learn things they wish they didn’t have to know. And the truth about the role Edward plays in the Aunt Civility books is hanging in the balance. Can they discover the killer without losing everything?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good Manners Will Out!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2022

    Murder and good manners square off once again, this time in Jacqueline Vick's Harlow Brothers Mystery series, Book 3, Deadly Decorum. The brothers (and Aunt Civility) return to Inglenook Resort for a weekend charity event. It doesn't take long for a murder to occur! Abounding with humor, propriety, victims, and suspects, the book kept me entranced to its surprise ending. Vick is also adept at taking the reader into the heads and hearts of Nick and Edward Harlow, which helped transport me to the scene and thrusted me into the action. Whodunit? Aunt Civility knows! Read the book. Then, you will, too.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Deadly Decorum - a good read
    Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2024
    Book #3 in the Harlow Brothers, "Deadly Decorum" by Jacqueline Vick is a fun read, somewhat harking back to the old days of the "who done it?" stories. The story is filled with murder, a host of suspects (anyone of which could have done it), detectives, and of course, the two Harlow Brothers, Edward and Nick. Add in the characters who are at the Inglenook Lodge to see Aunt Civility’s nephew, Edward, and you’ve got this story. The story definitely keeps its pace throughout.

    I can recommend this story to anyone who looking to read a good murder mystery. By the way, I started reading the Harlow Brothers Mystery series after thoroughly enjoying the author’s, Frankie Chandler Pet Psychic Mysteries.

    I've been a fan of the Harlow brothers from the start with Civility Rules, so I was looking forward to Jacqueline Vick's latest in this series, and I was not disappointed. I like knowing what's going on in character's minds, and she does that so well. I also like a bunch of interesting secondary characters, which again Jacqueline Vick does so well! I did not know who "done it"--and the ending was wonderful on several fronts. I feel like I know Edward and Nicholas, and the Inglenook Inn setting makes a perfect venue for their intrigues. I was sorry when this adventure was over. Hopefully Harlow brothers will follow. Definitely recommend, especially for an afternoon when you just want to escape and enjoy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Frustrations mount for the protagonists--two former football players hiding behind a fictitious name
    Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2023
    DEADLY DECORUM has the tone and setup of an Agatha Christie “Poirot” novel combined with a game of Clue. The fussy, proper Poirot, for example, figured out “closed” mysteries on a train, boat, and in a mansion. Vick has chosen the mansion for this energetic mystery starring the Harlow brothers who are the front men for a fictional etiquette expert known as Aunt Civility. A fundraiser with a masked ball gives cover for the killer and suspects galore. Like Poirot, the brothers go about exploring motives and mansion rooms in an entertaining way. Witty but weary Nicholas Harlow brings readers more depth than we might expect at first. He’s tired of being an assistant to his brother Edward who writes the fictitious aunt’s books. The men were football players a few years ago and now the constraints of being prim and proper are wearing on them. Another fun aspect was event coordination, which provides the mystery’s backdrop. Readers who have been part of putting on meetings and conferences—or fundraiser balls—will appreciate the details and frustrations here. A fun romp! It might make you bring out the Clue game again. You’ll surely look for the next novel starring the Harlow brothers. ~ Recommended by Christine DeSmet

    5.0 out of 5 stars What fun!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2023
    What fun!
    When Edward and Nicholas Harlow do a book signing event and cross paths with Edward's old flame Claudia and a bunch of fundraising fanatics, you can bet there will be a mystery to solve. Add in a Masked Ball, six or seven Zorros and Aunt Civility's book of manners, and there's sure to be trouble! I love the premise of Vick's books and this one delivers fun antics and a good mystery.
    I highly recommend this book!
