5 out of 5 stars A Toast to Whiskey!   January 30, 2006

What a fun, fast paced, read! This book is hard to put down. The characters are, well, characters, but believable. I am sure we all know someone just like the majority of them. As for the setting, I am now inspired to go visit western Michigan!


5 out of 5 stars Breezy Fun for Everyone   November 23, 2005
  10 out of 11 found this review helpful

I'll say it straight off--I'm not a "mystery" reader by nature. A few paragraphs in, however, Ms. Wright had me happily turning pages and guessing. Wright knows how to layer a story, and she creates quirkily believable characters I enjoyed and cared about. She also knows just what details are necessary to paint the pictures she wanted to hang in my mind. Another reviewer mentioned "chick lit." I just re-checked my chromesomes, and though I don't presume to speak for every man, I can heartily recommend Wright's first shot of Whiskey as breezy fun for anyone--even if you don't consider yourself a "mystery" reader.


5 out of 5 stars IF you like Janet Evanovich you will love this one   November 21, 2005

Fun, Witty, quick read because you can't wait to see what happens next. These quirky characters will have you begging for the next episode in their lives. Our book club had the pleasure of having Ms Wright share the inspiration for these books. I can speak from experience, the setting of this story on Western Lake Michigan is beautiful and full of characters.


5 out of 5 stars Highly entertaining mystery!   November 19, 2005

Meet Whiskey Mattimoe: realtor, amateur sleuth, and owner-by-default of an imperious Afghan hound. Throw in a lost love, an intriguing mystery, a cast of memorable characters, and a healthy dose of witty dialogue, and you've got the recipe for Whiskey on the Rocks. I would highly recommend this novel--the first in a series by newcomer Nina Wright--to any chick lit or mystery connoisseur as well as to anyone looking for an enormously entertaining read. Move over Janet Evanovich and Jennifer Crusie!
