Product Description
Everybody in Magnet Springs is in on the not-so-secret curse of the Miss Blossom pageant. Everybody, that is, except Whiskey Mattimoe–full-time real estate agent, parttime sleuth, and long-suffering owner of Abra, her willful and sometimes felonious Afghan hound.
Any hope that Abra has reformed her purse-snatching ways is dashed when the dog disappears with the bejeweled Miss Blossom tiara, a priceless heirloom insured for more than Whiskey's net worth. That's bad enough, but what Whiskey learns next chills her to the bone: every Miss Blossom must leave town or die. It would be a lot easier to laugh off the curse if it didn't keep coming true.
When the new Miss Blossom lands in the hospital and the former Miss Blossom turns up dead, Whiskey's got to catch a cold-blooded killer–before the latest Miss Blossom is pushing up daisies.

Abra wants to be Miss Blossom! July 31, 2008
The star of the book in my opinion is Abra and she starts the ball rolling in this mystery by stealing the tiara right off Miss Blossom's head. Since it is actually worth a fortune, Whiskey must get it back. Easier said than done with Abra on the run and hanging out with thieves and murderers...oh yeah, and boys! She has the hots for 2 males this time. Whiskey's household is growing by leaps and bounds too. At first it was just Whiskey and Abra...with young Chester staying a good portion of the time. Now it also contains Abra's son, the stepdaughter and her 2 babies, the Coast Guard nanny, and 40 CATS. Whiskey likes cats no more than dogs but she's a good sport when they move in on her. Between taking care of the cats (she relegates that duty to the new Miss Blossom and Chester) and trying to find the pricey tiara, and solve a murder or two, she is kept busy. The plot moves fast and this series is so much fun to read.

The third installment of the Whiskey Mattimoe series is every bit as fast paced as the first two. These books seem to move along quickly & enjoyably. Whiskey easily pulls in the reader & is hard to dislike. This time, I enjoyed the mystery more than the first two. The plot centers on a cursed house, so there was somewhat of a supernatural twist that I enjoyed. I am waiting anxiously for "Whiskey & Water," the fourth installment.

It's rare to find a good mystery that also makes you laugh out loud. This series does that for me every time! Whiskey and Tonic is the best of the bunch so far. The colorful crowd who lives in Magnet Springs is back for more action.
Imagine a cursed beauty pageant (and beauty pageant winner!), plus a haunted estate that Whiskey is supposed to sell. Add to that mix Abra the diva dog, who steals the precious beauty pageant tiara before taking off with a love of her own. And then there's Whiskey's crush on a Southern gentleman who may or may not be in love with Whiskey's stepdaughter. Lots of complications, surprises and giggles. You'll want to savor every laugh at the same time you find yourself racing toward the thrilling conclusion.

Whiskey Mattimoe could be me. It seems as though whatever she does, no matter how good the intention, something goes wrong. From showing her old bra to TRYING to keep her dog from stealing purses and tieras, things just seem to go awry for her. When she is given the opportunity to sell an expensive HAUNTED mansion, she has some concern, but forges ahead. Wonderful characters who feel like real old friends pepper this exciting novel with fun and frolic! And, you will never believe how it all ends! Hold on for a fun ride. I know you will enjoy it!
Dogs Rule! A spooky, suspenseful mystery! August 26, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
With each new mystery in this series, I become a bigger fan of Nina Wright. Anyone who has ever laughed at (or groaned about) the behavior of an actual dog will love the canine and human characters in the Whiskey Mattimoe mysteries. WHISKEY AND TONIC features not only Abra the diva Afghan hound and her usual co-stars Roscoe the K9 cop and Mooney the Rott hound (Rottweiler/Bloodhound mix), but it also introduces Norman the Golden, Abra's true mate. Watching them romp together makes poor Whiskey feel lonelier than ever! And of course there's a bang-up mystery, to boot. This one concerns a jinxed property that may have something to do with Whiskey's late husband and the deaths of several beauty queens. Wright manages to be spooky, suspenseful, and humorous all in one book. Bravo!
