Book Review/Giveaway (Basket & sub) - The Bloody Mary Club - Debbie Dyke-11/29

According to the Acknowledgements this was originally written as a screen play for a TV series—but never quite made it—at least, according to Debbie Dyke, she got a mink coat out of it! Now I certainly do not like that it was real mink (and I had a dog who actually attacked people wearing real fur coats!!) but at least Debbie Dyke got PAID for all the craziness she was put through.


First off let me say I really enjoyed reading this book! It was not the easiest to follow-corruption and greed all over the place. Well, what do you expect—stockbrokers and bankers! And lots of drinking—specially made Bloody Mary’s for all 4 of the club members. Even some belly dancing from the character you would least expect. Danger and near death scenes—of course!! A dastardly cold blooded handsome man who thinks he can outsmart women? Of course!!

I don’t want to spoil this for you so that is all I am going to say--------but here is the recipe for the Bloody Mary from the book:

“Here’s a hot tip: After a grueling day of buying and selling stocks, I like to unwind with a made-to-order delicious bloody-well prepared drink. Since I am so particular about my Bloody Mary pick-me-up, I thought I’d share my recipe with you in the hope that if I ever visit, I will get the perfect Bloody Mary with minimal instruction. Enjoy!
