Whiskey Straight Up

Just when she thought the past was behind her. . . It’s time for Magnet Springs’ annual ice fishing jamboree, but there’s something sinister afoot. Things begin going south as soon as Roy Vickers hits town. Not only did he try to kill Whiskey’s husband, Leo, nine years ago, but it now looks like Roy might have killed Magnet Springs’ missing self-aggrandizing mayor, Gill Gruen, Whiskey’s realtor nemesis. Then Chester, Abra and Prince Harry, Abra’s puppy, are kidnapped and newly deputized Whiskey, hot on their trail, finds herself up to her neck in the freezing waters of Lake Michigan after finding Gil’s corpse in a disserted ice shanty. Add in an ex-husband who shows up at all the wrong times trying to rekindle the sparks between them, the sexy, tempting father of her step-daughter’s twins, and the perverted male nurse imposter, and Whiskey’s life takes more twists and turns than a French braid. Helicopters, mixed up grandparents, murder, and the usual madcap mayhem abound as Whiskey searches for Chester and her dogs while accidently solving three murders.
