Book #1 in the Mack's Bar Mystery series: Mack's Bar is one of those nice, friendly places where everybody knows your name. That's great when someone's buying you a round, but not so hot when you find yourself atop a list of murder suspects--with your fingerprints on the bloody knife!

Mackenzie "Mack" Dalton is a Milwaukee bar owner with a nose for trouble--literally. A neurological glitch has left her with extra perceptive senses. So when she stumbles upon a dead body in the alley behind the bar--the same spot where her own father was shot eight months earlier--she can tell right away there's something fishy in the air. The lead detective thinks there's a link between the two deaths, and he'll need Mack's help to sniff out the murderer amid the crowd of eccentric regulars. But when all the evidence points to her as the most likely culprit, it could be an early last call for Mack--and celebratory cocktails for a killer.

I bought this used book from Amazon, because I got the second book in the series from another Bookcrosser and I wanted to read the 1st one before reading the 2nd one: Murder with a Twist by: Allyson K. Abbott.

My Review: I really liked this book, the main character Mack is intelligent and likable, not all the main characters in books are like that. Mack has a certain sensitivity that may help her solve crimes. Duncan Albright is the detective on the murder in this book. Mack and Duncan have some chemistry, so there may be a romance brewing. This was really hard to put down.

Arrived safely in my mailbox today! Thank you so much JennyC1230 for sharing this and the two behind it in the series. I am looking forward to reading this new author. Since you liked it, I have a feeling I will too. Thank you! Cheers!

I really enjoyed this book! I had the same journaling thoughts as JennyC1230. I truly liked the main character, Mack. I wasn't too crazy about her boyfriend. The author wrote well and I was surprised at the ending. I liked Duncan and the flirtations throughout the book. Looking forward to reading the second in the series. A fun and good read. =)

Thanks you so much for sharing this with me. I have someone in mind for the books I have so I will save and probably send them together.

Loved this debut in the Mack’s Bar series. I just couldn’t put it down! The title character, Mackenzie, was likeable, and I’m fascinated with her neurological condition, synesthesia, where you smell colors and see sounds – a mixing of the senses. The mystery itself was well-plotted, too. A real page-turner!

Though not much of a drinker, I will certainly try some of the drink recipes. My fat tooth craves the Macktini, named for our owner/sleuth, which includes espresso, Kahlua, vodka, white crème de cacao, and heavy cream. Sounds heavenly!

Thank goodness dvg has kept me well-supplied with the next three (!) in this series (thank you again, dvg!!!), so I can start the second installment soon😊.

It is fun to read the first in a series, first. Like the other readers, I liked Mack and the story line made sense. It was fun to see how things worked out (though I figured out the killer before he was revealed).

rabck from booklady331; Light mystery set in a Milwaukee bar, Mack is a bar owner who finds a dead body by her dumpster. It's just 10 months after Dad's death and the body is his girlfriend, Ginni. And all the evidence points to Mack, although her regulars are suspects too. The dectective on the case, Duncan Albright, agrees to let her keep the bar open during the investigation, as long as he can keep an eye on her. So she "hires" him to be a bartender, and it turns out that he's good at it, entertaining and can find out lots of things by chatting up the customers. The audio version has him speaking with a lovely scottish burr, and of course, Mack didn't kill Ginni, because she stars in several more books in the series.
