Risky Whiskey

Bohemia Bartenders Mysteries

De: Lucy Lakestone

Narrado por: Lucy Lakestone

Stirring up trouble in New Orleans....

Eager to shake up her drinks and her life, mixologist Pepper Revelle jumps at an invitation to join the elite Bohemia Bartenders. Leader Neil thinks she’ll be the perfect advance gal for his team at a colorful cocktail convention in her hometown of New Orleans, but the job turns out to be more bananas than a drunk monkey. Setting up the key tasting for their distiller client, she and Neil discover their whiskey has gone dangerously bad. But how? And was this shocking poisoning more than an accident?

As Pepper and Neil try to figure out what happened, keep the drinks flowing and help distiller Dash Reynolds survive the weekend, they find themselves the target of increasingly scary attacks. Maybe it’s the danger, or maybe it’s the drinks, but Pepper also can’t help an inconvenient attraction to cocktail nerd Neil as they stir up trouble and try to figure out who’s out to get them — before they’re sliced and squeezed like a lemon twist in a Sazerac.

Risky Whiskey is the first book in the Bohemia Bartenders Mysteries, funny whodunits with a dash of romance set in a convivial collective of cocktail lovers, eccentrics and mixologists. These cozy culinary comedies contain a hint of heat, a splash of cursing and shots of laughter, served over hand-carved ice.

Oh thank goodness this is finally over. I gave it a generous 1 star 🌟 I mean, I did manage to finish it. I am not sure where it went wrong. Maybe the book was bad on it's own, maybe it was the worst narrator on the planet...nay the universe.

I have never heard a narrator so devoid of inflection & emotion. She somehow was the queen of run-on sentences & lack of any sort of energy. At first I was sure it was a virtual voice. No, it was a real person narrating.

Aside from the tragedy that was the narration, the writing was just bad. I can't say I even really know what went on in the story. It only caught about 15% of my attention...even as I was reading along on my Kindle. This one is a definite miss & a pass. I can, again, see why it was a freebie. I'm no stranger to cheesy in the cozy mystery genre but this one was too much.
