Publisher's summary

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.

interesting and the reader is very good

I was almost put off by negative reviews.
And I did figure out the plot very early on. But i like this series. It's a good story telling, building the characters and bringing out their personalities. I like the reader. She's unique.

What a ride

I love this and the twist and turns and I love that it wasn’t easy and that there was so much seemingly valuable noise to work through

wonderful!

I absolutely love how the author augments the descriptions with Mack's synesthetic experiences. It is wonderfully clever and really brings new life to those descriptions and scenes. It does the same with the characters, it is brilliant!

Overall good read.

I thought this was a really good book, there was a couple things that I think they mentioned to many times, such as Mack's neurological disorder, However for the most part it was a really good read and I enjoyed it a whole lot.

Milwaukee

I liked this book and the narration. The only complaint is that most of the locals had more of a Chicago accent than a Milwaukee accent.
