Risky Whiskey
(2020)(The first book in the Bohemia Bartenders Mystery series)
A novel by 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 quasi-cozy culinary comedies contain a hint of heat, a splash of cursing and shots of laughter, served over hand-carved ice.
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST MYSTERIES OF 2020 by The Book Decoder!
"There’s a lot of fun flirting, deadly chases and mixed drinks (who knew bartending could be so fascinating?) to make this the perfect first book to what promises to be a unique and wholly entertaining series. I highly recommend it!"
- Maggie March, author of the Lucy McGuffin, Psychic Amateur Detective mystery series
