Book Description
Coming right up ? a fourth rollicking round of Whiskey Mattimoe! Summer brings some new and familiar faces to her quirky Michigan town. There's MacAuthor, the hunky Scotsman whose Glasgow real estate experience could make him an excellent agent at Whiskey's office; self-help author and karma expert Fenton Flagg, who's got Whiskey's libido boiling over; and her ex-husband Jeb Halloran, who can still send chills down Whiskey's spine, when he's not crooning pet lullabies. But steamy romance is impossible amid the shrill cries of Velcro, Whiskey's new teacup-sized shitzapoo pup. Inexplicable sightings of Gill Gruen, the former mayor who drowned last winter, have the town on edge. But the doggy poop really hits the fan when Whiskey's felonious Afghan hound discovers a murder scene on the shore of Lake Michigan. If it wasn't the riptide that killed Twyla Rendel, Whiskey's high-risk tenant, who did?

Another Whiskey Misadventure June 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Hold onto your hats, Whiskey is off and running again; well sort of running, except for the part where she falls asleep and lets Chester and Prince Harry almost drown in a riptide.
From the beginning scene through the interesting and puzzling sub plots, to the satisfying ending, I was hooked. Wonderful characters, quirky town of Magnet Springs and cleptomaniac dog; I don't know what more you could ask for!
I don't want to give away the story, but if you are looking for a new author with a twist of Janet Evanovich, you are looking for the Whiskey Mattimoe series by Nina Wright.
Pull up a beach chair, and enjoy!

I have enjoyed all the humorous Whiskey mysteries and it's a delight to get to spend time with the delightful characters in Magnet Springs once again.
Funnier than ever! A fast, hilarious read! April 21, 2008

If you like laughter with your mystery--and especially if you appreciate well-written dialogue--THIS is the series for you. Wright crafts a compelling mystery, but more to the point, she creates thoroughly delightful characters, both canine and human. Whiskey Mattimoe lands in deep doo-doo but comes out as fresh as a sunny day on Lake Michigan. You'll want to be there for the whole thrilling ride.
Read it and laugh till you weep!
Another hit of Whiskey April 12, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
How to write a fun mystery:
Abra the Afghan
Assorted canines (Prince Harry the Peemeister, Norman, Velcro)
Almost dog, Floozy
One harried real estate agent
A dash of three hot guys
Outrageous supporting characters including a smooth talking realtor, a possible ghostly mayor and one harpy/stepdaughter
Mix together in Magnet Springs and viola, instant murder mayhem
Whiskey again finds herself in the midst of canine adultery, crime and possible insanity as she accepts a listing from a dotcom millioniare. Chester and Abra steal scenes left and right.
Whiskey is "volunteered" to be a unpaid deputy when a woman with 11 kids disappears and winds up dead. The only credible witnesses are Abra and Norman. The dialogue (especially between Whiskey and herself) are hilarious.
Visit Magnet Springs again but please don't wear any bling. Abra will mug you for it.
