TO BREW OR NOT TO BREW, Book 1 in the Brewing Trouble Mysteries
A BREWMASTER WITH A HEAD FOR SLEUTHING...
The Allegheny Brew House is a dream come true for Maxine "Max" O'Hara, who went all the way to Germany for her brewmaster certification and is now preparing to open her own craft brew pub in a newly revitalized section of Pittsburgh. But before she can start pouring stouts and lagers to thirsty throngs, there's trouble on tap. Suspicious acts of sabotage culminate in Max finding her assistant brewmaster and chef Kurt Schmidt strangled in one of the vats.
Between rescuing a stray gray tabby she names Hops and considering a handsome ex-hockey player as her new chef, Max doesn't have a lot of time to solve a murder. But with a homicide detective for a dad, she comes to criminal investigation naturally. And if someone is desperate enough to kill to stop her from opening, Max needs to act fast--before her brand new brew biz totally tanks...
TANGLED UP IN BREW, Book 2 in the Brewing Trouble Mysteries
BEER TODAY, GONE TOMORROW...
Brew pub owner Maxine “Max” O’Hara and her chef/boyfriend Jake Lambert are
excited to be participating in the Three Rivers Brews and Burgers Festival. Max
hopes to win the coveted Golden Stein for best craft beer—but even if she
doesn’t, the festival will be great publicity for her Allegheny Brew House.
Or will it? When notoriously nasty food and beverage critic Reginald Mobley is
drafted as a last-minute replacement judge, Max dreads a punishing review. Her
fears are confirmed when Mobley literally spits out her beer, but things get even
worse when the cranky critic drops dead right after trying one of Jake’s burgers.
Now an ambitious new police detective is determined to pin Mobley’s murder on
Max and Jake, who must pore over the clues to protect their freedom and
reputations—and to find the self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner.
And ... A ROOM WITH A BREW, Book 3 will be coming in October 2017!
