Death In Tranquility by Sharon Linnéa - GIVEAWAY!
No one talks to the cops. Everyone talks to the bartender. And Avalon Nash is one hell of a bartender.
Avalon is on the run from her life in Los Angeles. Having a drink while waiting to change trains in the former Olympic town of Tranquility, New York, she discovers the freshly murdered bartender at MacTavish’s. A bartender herself, she’s offered the position with the warning he wasn’t the first MacTavish’s bartender to meet a violent end.
Avalon’s superpower is collecting people’s stories, and she’s soon embroiled in the lives of artists, politicians, ghost hunters and descendants of Old Hollywood.
Can Avalon outrun the ghosts of her past, catch the ghosts of Tranquility’s past and outsmart a murderer?
The first book
in the Bartender’s Guide to Murder series offers chills, laughs, and 30 of the
best drink recipes ever imbibed.

MY THOUGHTS -
Loved, loved, loved!
Takes place in a small town bar - check, Ghosts - check, Awesome characters - check, Murder - check, And... artists - check!! Everything that makes up a great book!
This was a great little mystery but also... it gave me more than a few chuckles. I loved this. It made it more fun and not quite so serious (although, it really was... considering the murder and all).
A couple of awesome take-aways - ghosts! Yeah baby! Love a good ghost story. The ghost wasn't the main attraction but it was enough to make me happy. And, you know how some books have recipes in them??? :-P This one has drink recipes !!!!!
