In Milwaukee almost a year has passed since someone murdered Mack’s
Bar owner Big Mack Dalton. A few weeks
ago, his daughter owner Mackenzie (called “Little Mack” by her family, friends
and patrons) found the corpse of Big Mack’s girlfriend realtor Ginny Rifkin
near the dumpster in the alley behind the bar.
Although MPD suspected Mack murdered her father and his GF, Police Detective
Duncan Albright thought otherwise and teamed up with her using her unique synesthesia
neurological wiring that allowed her to perceive things differently than the
normal NTs to solve the double homicides (see Murder On The Rocks).
In spite of her success Mack has doubts about police work as
mixology is her specialty rather than crime solving. However with her karma at stake along with
the urgency to rescue a kidnapped child, Mack agrees to assist Duncan with the
hunt for that abducted son of a murdered single mom.
The second Mack's Bar Mystery once again contains a super fresh
investigation due to the unique heroine whose descriptions of synesthesia (chocolate
will never taste the same for us NTs) is succinct and vibrant, and helps with
the cases. Duncan accepts her as she is
while the Capone Club Bucks brew crew patrons add amusing eccentricities to the
delightful mix.
