“ 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. ”
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is the fifth book in the Addison Holmes Mysteries by Liliana Hart that blends humor, romance, and small-town sleuthing that kept me turning the pages with a smile. Ms. Hart showcases her character development skills here, creating a heroine who is equal parts charming, clumsy, and clever - the kind of character you root for even when she’s in over her head (which is often).
Addison, a former history teacher turned accidental private investigator, stumbles her way into mysteries that are as quirky as they are dangerous. The series balances laugh-out-loud moments with genuine suspense, and the witty banter between characters - especially the romantic tension with her love interest - adds an extra spark.
If you enjoy cozy mysteries with a dash of romance, a sprinkle of sass, and a heroine who’s as relatable as she is resourceful, then the Addison Holmes Mysteries will be a treat you won’t want to miss.
