Once again I read the second in the series before the first. At least I can honestly say that either can be read as stand alone! Of course it is always wise to read any series in order since you will understand more fully what is happening with the recurring characters. Ricki left her hum drum life in New York when her uncle died and left her a bar in a small town. When he ran the bar it was notorious--she was turning it around and wasn't doing too badly. Then she found her ex-husband dead on one of the bar stools--The doors had been been locked--so how had he gotten in--and who killed him? And would it hurt her business? Much more happens--and lots of action and some laughs along with some twists and turns. You will have to read this book this find out!
About the Book: (from Amazon)
New Yorker Erica "Ricki" Fontaine's n'er-do-well uncle has dropped dead and left her a dive bar in a small Ohio River town. With a lousy apartment, less-than-promising job prospects, and even worse romantic ones, the inheritance comes at just the right time. Ricki packs up her cat and heads for the Buckeye State. Now she's trying to change the Top Shelf from a bar known for its Friday night fights into the kind of drinking establishment where you can bring your granny. But finding her ex-husband dead on a barstool at opening time one morning just might put a kink in those plans.
