Synopsis

Mack’s Bar and its crime-solving clientele are quickly gaining notoriety for helping solve some high-profile cases. But Mack is learning the hard way that not all press is good press…

By day, Mackenzie “Mack” Dalton is the proprietress of a popular Milwaukee watering hole. But after last call, she uses her unique cocktail of extra perceptive senses to help solve some of the city’s most grisly homicides. Now, Mack and her barstool detectives are happy to help when Tiny, one of the bar’s newest patrons, asks them to look into his sister’s murder. Though the case has gone cold, Mack’s heightened senses quickly put her on the killer’s trail. But when a throng of reporters intrigued by her talents descends on Mack’s Bar, her efforts are muddled as a real-life Moriarty begins putting her infamous skills to the test, leaving Mack feeling shaken and stirred…

My thoughts:

This is the 3rd book in this series and I have not read the other books.  I will now but I was not lost reading this one.  It seems most people are jealous of Mack and her bar.  The media has become aware of Mack’s ability to solve cases after hours.

The book was pretty good I liked how the author had some second stories to the plot and everyone seemed to work together.  It was a quick read that other readers will enjoy.  I will be grabbing the other books in this series.
