A Few Drops of Bitters

cozy-mystery, private-investigators, law-enforcement, family-dynamics, friendship, murder, murder-investigation, situational-humor, verbal-humor***** Savannah Reid is the Moonlight Magnolia Detective Agency and investigates alongside her police detective husband Dirk who had long ago resigned himself that she would wind up doing murder investigations and risk her own life. The publisher's blurb is a pretty good hook so no need to repeat it. The family madness is fun and the whodunit is very well done. Loved it! I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley. Thank you!

Loved this book! I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, at times laughing,and, at times, bringing a tear to my eye. This begins with a murder that Savannah witnessed. The victim was an unliked and the list of possible murderers is long and almost everyone he's ever met. The Moonlight Magnolia agency gals jump into help solve the mystery, as Savannah works alongside her detective husband. While this is an entertaining mystery, the real story is the relationships between the characters, from the abused foster child taken in by Savannah and Dirk, to their former FBI friends and their future brother in law, one of Hollywood's leading men. I loved how the author wove the relationships together and crafted a story that I couldn't put down. Put this one at the top of your TBR list. The author is on my must read authors' list.
