Reseñas de la Crítica

"A shot of classic noir, half-ounce of modern flair and several ounces of bitters round out this intoxicating literary cocktail. This is a series that fans of both modern and vintage crime alike will not want to miss!" (Tosca Lee, New York Times best-selling author)

"A spellbinding mystery I couldn't put down. The bonus? A menu of delicious craft cocktails too tempting to pass up." (Cathi Stoler, award-winning author of the Murder on the Rocks series)

Another great one in the series

This series is great and this one is awesome. Fun read and keeps your attention. I received a free copy and left my honest review

Movies and Mayhem

This is the third book in the series and we find the town of Tranquility hosting a Movie Festival that has been mentioned in the previous two books. This brings lots of A-list stars into town as well as an old friend form Avalon's past. The story is written in such a way that you start guessing who the perpetrator for the murders that occur along with Avalon. There is some action at the end of the story that will have you holding onto your seat. I love that this series of books finishes each chapter with a cocktail recipe.

Death among the stars

This was another great book in the Bartender series.Avalon tries to not get caught up in the murders that go on in town,but she always seems to be at the heart of the issues.When her old friends show up for a big film festival,death follows them. narration by Abbie Plaff was terrific!I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Tense, stunning with a finish I didn’t see coming!

With the Tranquility Film Festival set to begin, Avalon realizes a few childhood chums have made it BIG in Hollywood. When one in particular turns up in Tranquility, followed by stalkers … stalkers that start turning up … deceased … it will take every skill Avalon possesses to not join them in the afterlife! A fast moving, distinctly “noir” feeling glimpse into the world of the young titans of the entertainment industry, “Death Among the Stars” is gripping! The author does not shy away from some of the certainly all to true, if less than savory (or legal), aspects of life (for some) in the limelight, nor does she over sensationalize. While these details could be disturbing for some, I found “Death Among the Stars” to be not only a refreshingly honest portrayal, but one that is necessary to the integrity of THIS story. I’m not going to play spoiler! Just listen with an open mind, and trust me, everything the author includes is necessary to make this story work as effectively, and as powerfully, as it does! As with any Sharon Linnea story, the characters are pure genius! Without exception, every character is spot on complete, and fits perfectly into the smooth flowing story! There is no lagging, no information gaps, and the build to the finale is a fast paced, heart in your throat, wild ride that had this listener screaming “holy ?$&@“ because my guess as to “who done it” was way off! Vibrantly performed, the author’s vision truly came alive with emotional, perfectly timed, beautifully voiced narration. I have to say, this stunning story not only entertained me, but really gave me a few things to think about, and as a parent, perhaps serves as a bit of a cautionary tale. The complete package earns a resounding five stars! So much so that I listened a second time straight through!

A fun and exciting read

really enjoyed this book.. Performance was great.. The Story was fun and exciting, little scary..

Heart pounding action and heart breaking crimes

Death Among the Stars is the 3rd in the Bartender’s Guide to Murder by Sharon Linnea. Avalon Nash got off a train to NYC and is now the bartender in Tranquility, NY. She has the misfortune to find dead bodies, but the skills to help solve the crimes. In this book, Tranquility is holding a Film Festival featuring a film about a town resident. Hollywood stars are coming to town and several are Avalon’s childhood friends. Stalking and murder also came to town. This is a great story with solid writing, wonderful well developed characters who continue to grow as the series continues. The story had twists and turns and a thrilling ending. The narration by Abbie Pfaff is wonderful. Her performance breathes life into the characters and the story. The story and performance were so enjoyable and captivating that I had to listen to it straight without stopping. I can’t wait to read the next one!

Great series

It kept me guessing until the end. This is a really good murder mystery book. Avalon is an interesting and enigmatic character. The supporting characters are intriguing. The storyline is original and captivating.
Well worth a listen to. I have really enjoyed this series. The narrator Abbie Pfaff did a fantastic job bringing characters to life.

Entertaining read!!

Another terrific addition to this series with a cozy mystery vibe. Interesting story, great characters, and enjoyable audio narration!
Looking forward to more!

body count versus lovers

Avalon has a knack for finding dead people!!! They are piling up! This was extremely suspenseful, especially at the end. Avalon could be part of the body count!! The body count was almost as high as her lover count!!! Who will survive this one??? I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job.

Didn't care for this book/series.

This series is not for me. The story was just ok. I still didn't care for Avalon and I found myself fast forwarding through the recipes at the end of the chapters. I won't be continuing this series. I was given a free copy of this book and have voluntarily given this review.
