Publisher's summary

My name is Addison Holmes, and I teach history at James Madison High School in Whiskey Bayou, Georgia. You might be under the assumption that my life went to the dogs when my fiancé left me at the altar for the home economics teacher, or when I got notice that my apartment building was going to be condemned, or even when I was desperate enough to strip to my unmentionables to earn some extra cash. The truth is that I'm pretty much used to disasters following me around on a daily basis, but I could have gone without finding my principal dead in the parking lot of a seedy gentlemen's club.

After the initial shock of finding my first dead body, which included throwing back shots of Jack Daniels like it was water, I decided to take stock of my life. I was in a desperate situation and if the school board ever found out I'd been a stripper, even a bad stripper, I'd be jobless as well as fiancé-less and homeless.

Fortunately, I had a friend who felt sorry enough for me to give me a job doing some surveillance work at her detective agency. Not to mention the fact that I was now able to stick my nose into other people's business for a good cause, find a murderer, and pick up helpful tips from an incredibly attractive detective. Come check out my story and be thankful your life is relatively normal.

Stephanie Plum fans have a new heroine

If you are a Stephanie Plum fans, you will adore Addison Holmes. She's quirky, funny, and witty. She falls into being a private detective for extra money after a failed attempt at stripping. Like Stephanie Plum she has a penchant for getting herself into trouble. Where Plum is totally Jersey, Holmes is all small town Georgia.
A fun read, and an enjoyable audio book. Thus is not great literature, but it's definitely entertaining. I look forward to the rest of the series.

Fun! Fun! Fun!

Read on January 25, 2013

Listened for Fun (Audible)
Overall Rating: 4.00
Story Rating: 4.00
Character Rating: 4.00

Audio Rating: 4.00 (Not part of the overall rating)

WARNING: I use the word "fun" a lot in this review but seriously it was FUN!

First Thought When Finished: That was totally fun! I needed a light, fun mystery and this filled the spot :)

Story Thoughts: This was just downright a delightful mystery with some pretty good twists and turns! It took me a little bit to get totally caught up in the mystery but once I did, I had fun trying to figure it out. Those are my favorite kinds of mysteries--the ones that you want to figure out. This one, I only got partially right but all the clues were there. The story was plotted out well by Liliana and gave you all the clues to play sleuth along with Addison. Darn it all that I couldn't figure it out before the end :)

Character Thoughts: Holy walking disaster and oh-so fun to read: Addison Holmes is all that and more. I mean how often do you meet a high school teacher who can get themselves into so much trouble? Seriously, right out of the gate this girl is pretty much in one jam or another. She is smart and resourceful but I love that she is full of faults. I kind of would love to be her BFF! She is great leading lady for this story and I hope there are many more mysteries to come!

Audio Thoughts:

Narrated by Connie Ventress / Running Time 7 hrs and 10 mins


Connie did a wonderful job with the narration! I thought the pacing, accents, and emotions were delightful. I will probably continue this series on audio if available.

Final Thoughts: I really enjoyed this mystery and think it would appeal to fans of the Stephanie Plum series (no love triangle which makes it even better in my book). FUN FUN FUN!

Sookie meets Stephanie Plum

Kind of Stephanie Plum if the south. Fun shenanigans in the name of fighting crime.

Hilarious

I listen to books while I work to help the time pass. I haven't laughed out loud like this in years. Can't wait to get the next book in this series. Love the narrator...

Slow start

It took a while for me to get into this book. The southern drawl wasn’t my favorite. The book started to grab my attention around 1/3 of the way through. Addison got into too many ridiculous situations but became more endearing toward the end. I’m going to buy the Audible version of Whiskey Sour, since I’m wondering about her future. Give it a chance. I think Addison will win you over, too.

Hysterical....reminded me of my southern friends

Where does Whiskey Rebellion rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I think you get used to the southern accent and the inflections were funny. The reader did a good job.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Whiskey Rebellion?

I think finding the body and the whole description of the experience in the stripper bar left me laughing.

What about Connie Ventress’s performance did you like?

The matter of factness in the funny situations that happened ever so often just kept me in hysterics.

If you could rename Whiskey Rebellion, what would you call it?

Not sure.....I think the name is cleaver and apply named.

Any additional comments?

Can't wait to hear Whiskey Sour.

Laugh out loud funny

Addison Holmes is such a character you cannot help but fall in love with her. And Nick her love interest is as sexy and lovable as a man can get
