 Clever, enertaining mystery that men and women will love! January 27, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I like lots of kinds of mysteries, from literary to chick-lit. Although this series features a chick-lit type heroine, it's better written and has broader appeal. In fact, I gave copies of this book to several male friends and male family members; they all liked it a lot. The reason? The heroine, Whiskey Mattimoe, is the kind of gal men like. She makes 'em laugh; moreover, she's smart, athletic, and independent enough to earn their respect. This is also a well-constructed mystery with enough suspense to keep you turning pages way past bedtime.
Fun reading November 3, 2006

I love the Mattimore Mysteries! They are what a mystery should be...suspense, adventure with a large dose of humor. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good lighthearted book to read especially on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Author Wright sets up to tickle more funny bones in her whimsical sadistical who-dunnit. For readers who can't turn down a second glass, realtor Whiskey brings to the table her suite of Magnet Springs odd-bods. Legacies of her second and dead husband: a real estate office, malicious step-daughter with hunk of a boyfriend, high-maintenance Afghan hounds and celebrity neighbor Cassandra and son Chester have usurped her private life. When town drunk and ex-con Roy Vickers enters it, all Hell breaks loose on a frozen lake where the town mayor's body is found in an ice-fishing shack. Chester disappears during the same ice-fishing Jamboree. Whiskey as the boy's babysitter and Roy's new employer has set herself up for this hilarious follow-up to Whiskey on the Rocks.
Give me another, and make it a double! October 19, 2006

I don't like real estate agents, new age singers, dogs or cold weather, but a little whisky makes everything look better. This is a pretty funny set of mysteries here. Somewhere between Murder She Wrote and Northern Exposure, only with words.Well worth checking out and passing around.
This series is a "must read"! October 18, 2006

The second book in the Whiskey Mattimoe series, "Whiskey Straight Up" was even more fun for me than the first book if that is possible. I enjoyed every page. There are lots of laughs and lots and lots of excitement - a real page turner. Plus, I got to re-visit all of the unique and charming characters who live in Magnet Springs - they make you want to go visit and have lunch and a cup of coffee at The Goh Cup! If you like a good mystery with lots of plot twists, incredible, well defined characters and laughs along the way, this series is for you! Nina Wright knows how to grab your attention immediately and not let go until you have read the last word on the last page. Don't miss it!
