Mack’s Bar Mystery Series # 1, Murder on the Rocks

De: Allyson K. Abbott

Narrado por: Nicole Poole

Mack's Bar is one of those nice, friendly places where everybody knows your name. That's great when someone's buying you a round, but not so hot when you find yourself atop a list of murder suspects - with your fingerprints on the bloody knife!

Mackenzie "Mack" Dalton is a Milwaukee bar owner with a nose for trouble - literally. A neurological glitch has left her with extra-perceptive senses. So when she stumbles upon a dead body in the alley behind the bar - the same spot where her own father was shot eight months earlier - she can tell right away there's something fishy in the air.

The lead detective thinks there's a link between the two deaths, and he'll need Mack's help to sniff out the murderer amid the crowd of eccentric regulars. But when all the evidence points to her as the most likely culprit, it could be an early last call for Mack - and celebratory cocktails for a killer.

Cozy and tastes like chocolate

Well written and read, engaging and easy to follow, yet has some unexpected twists and not too predictable. But what gives this book its fifth star and both thumbs up are curious interwoven details, like the heroine’s neurological condition, and Al Capone mysteries, thrown in between. Plus the cocktail recipes of course. Very enjoyable. A little stretched ending reminds Nero Wolfe meditations on a case, if anything, and wraps up the story nicely.

Outstanding

I love this series—plan to listen to all of them! The narrator is easy to listen too as well!

I really enjoyed this mystery.

I’ve been listening / reading a lot of mysteries. This one has a touch of romance. It has some good quirks and will keep you guessing.
I highly recommend it. I can’t wait to get to the others.

Really good!

I didn’t have high hopes but this was really good! It has a surprise ending

Fun story & awesome voices for the characters

I enjoy the reader’s voice choices for the characters. The story was fun and interesting.
