A review by peggyemi
Deadly Dram by Melinda Mullet

4.0

This is a series that has quickly become one I look forward to reading. It has a unique theme, the characters are smart, mature and the mysteries always keep me engaged. Abi is a smart, mature, independent woman who makes a good amateur sleuth. Her profession as a journalist has given her insight into human nature which she often relies on in conjunction with Detective Michelson's reliance on evidence to help solve the mystery. The mystery kept me engaged with the twist and turns throughout the story. The killer's identity, for me, was a surprise but the motive behind the killings was believable resulting in a satisfactory ending.

I will be back to see what the author has in store next for these characters. I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy provided to me by the publisher, Alibi, through Netgalley.
