Book Description
Still reeling from her husband's death, thirty-three-year-old realtor Whiskey Mattimoe is adjusting to a new life, which includes the embarrassing purse-snatching antics of her mischievious Afghan hound. That's bad for business, but not as bad as having clients die on the premises. When one of her properties turns into a murder scene, Whiskey becomes hopelessly tangled in a devious scheme involving identity fraud and priceless art. Dodging a house fire, break-ins, and attempts on her life, Whiskey manages to keep her sense of humor throughout the chaos with help from a part-time police force, her eight-year-old neighbor, and other eccentric characters in the Lake Michigan resort town of Magnet Springs. This fast-paced, darkly comic tale is the first in a series of mysteries featuring the amateur sleuthing of Whiskey Mattimoe.

This was my first contact with Whiskey and her Afghan. Mysteries galore keep you guessing throughout. The story moves at a fast pace, with a light and humurous touch. I was left wanting more and will certainly be reading other books in the series.

I checked out this book at the library and LOVED it!! I'm so happy to find another new GREAT mystery writer. I plan on buying the rest in the series. I donate all my books to the library so eventually they will have her whole series for someone else to enjoy!!

This is a great book. While I love Whiskey and the situations she encounter, I love Abra, the dog, even more. She really keeps Whiskey on her toes. A very enjoyable read, especially if you like "cozy" mysteries.
Great start on an original, suspenseful, and FUNNY series January 27, 2007

If you have a sense of humor and strong feelings about dogs--especially other people's dogs--this is the mystery series for you. Realtor Whiskey Mattimoe has been saddled with a very difficult canine, and therein lies lots of humor. The setting is fun, too; author Nina Wright has created a quaint but troubled Michigan tourist town that's a blend between Saugatuck and Traverse City, where the artistic types face off against the conservatives. Mix in a steady stream of tourists, and let the fun begin. In this book, the first in the series, the action starts when a tourist dies on a massage therapist's table--NOT from natural causes. Then another tourist is murdered, and--as the book cover suggests--Abra the Afghan hound complicates everything. I can personally promise that you'll laugh and gasp while reading this series.
Great Laugh...Fun To Read! November 10, 2006

Having several Afghan Hounds that own me, Nina Wright has a wonderful star, Abra the Afghan Hound, who helps solve this mystery as only an Afghan Hound can...with every clever trick in the book. Ms. Wright not only captures the essence of the Afghan Hound but she offers suspense, adventure and a huge dose of humor in Whiskey on the Rocks. I rate it right up there with Pink Panther and Inspector Clueso!
