A Miller Sisters Mystery #1
Totally Buzzed
Trouble seems to follow Buzz Miller, and this time it finds her outside the town of White Bass Lake, Wisconsin, where the dead body of a neighbor woman turns up stashed under her mother's house! The retired detective is reluctantly roped into finding out "who dunnit." In order to snag the bad guy, Buzz, along with her Biology teacher sister Mag, "The Maggot" Miller, have only to find the murderer by following the trail of a dead horse, uncovering the illegal importation of rare plants, breaking up an international drug trafficking ring, uncovering a designer drug lab, and avoid being bumped off by the bad guys. Simple enough, right? That is, until her mom's wacky "Geriatric S.W.A.T. Team" cronies turn the crime scene into a neighborhood barbeque and Buzz's 160 pound Newfoundland chews up most of her initial investigation! After a shoot out at the Not-So-OK-Corral, Buzz has to explain to Sheriff Green why his only solid suspect was now pushing up daisies while lying dead in the petunias

About the author
Gale Borger
12 books10 followersGale Borger is the author of the hilarious Miller Sisters Mystery Series. Gale brings to life the small town of White Bass Lake, Wisconsin and its wacky inhabitants in Totally Buzzed, a madcap romp through murder and mayhem. Second in the series, Totally Fishy is an uproariously funny tale complete with a pole dancing granny and two bumbling hit men who can't seem to bump off the right guy! Gale's short story, Totally Decked, was out in time for Christmas, 2010. Gale's books are published by Echelon Press, LLC.
With over 20 years in law enforcement-the last fifteen years as a correctional officer, Gale has extensive experiences from which to draw material for her books. Growing up in a screwball household with a lifetime of practical jokes and a whole lot of laughter behind her, lends much humor to her writing. As Gale puts it, "I've always been told 'write what you know,' and I know bad guys and funny stuff, with a little gardening thrown in for good measure."
Gale has a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and a Master's Degree in Education. She lives in Southeastern Wisconsin with her husband Bob, their sometimes-seen college student (dragging behind her a trombone and her dirty laundry), two dogs, two cats, about 1,000 tropical fish, a leopard gecko, a Pac-man frog, two turtles, and more flowers in her yard than grass.

Hilarious and murder don't usually appear in the same sentence but they have to when describing this book.
Buzz Miller is a retired cop. That doesn't stop her from getting in the middle of murder investigations especially when the body is found under her parents' house. Her three sisters begin by falling on the corpse. Their involvement escalates from there.
Compound this with a mother and her cohorts - the Senior Women's Action Team or SWAT - who insist on putting out picnic lunches, including various forms of jello mold, whenever a new body is discovered.
Enter a stupid constable, a hunky "Plant Guy" and various horse trainers, drug merchants...well, you get the idea. Oh, and I can't forget Buzz's 6 foot Newfie (the dog kind) and the farting bulldog.
This book was a riot and will be thoroughly enjoyed by anyone who likes their murder with a big heaping pile of funny.

Let’s just call a spade a spade: I’m a funny person and I know funny when I see, hear, or read it. I also hate being told something is funny and/or good and it turns out not to be. I was told Gale Borger’s Totally Buzzed was quite funny and no one lied to me about this! The first Miller Sister’s Mystery, Totally Buzzed is an excellent read that is both funny and very cleverly written.
As a reader I’m generally looking for solid and interesting characters, witty in a book, right? Borger delivers on all fronts! Totally Buzzed opens with two chapters of introduction: the introduction of the Miller clan and the introduction of the dead body that sets up the entire novel. There were several moments in these first two chapters that I laughed out loud. In many ways, these two inspired introductory chapters set the tone for the entire novel. Here’s the skinny: news travels fast in a small town and before the Miller sister’s know it, the entire town is gathered (with food) at the Miller’s to check out the dead lady. From this point forward, Borger weaves a fascinating tale of murder, champion horses, exotic plants, drug running, and a little romance on the side. All of which features two of the four Miller sisters, Buzz (DUH) and Maggie.
While it may seem like none of these elements really go together, Borger makes them work in an interesting and convincing fashion; nothing feels forced or out of place. It helps immensely that Borger knows how to write good dialogue: the story moves forward through the dialogue and the interaction between the characters rather than the author simply explaining everything. Each and every character, both major and minor, has distinct characteristics and personalities that the reader can really grab on too. With the exception of the bad guys, there is really not a character in the book that is not likable or the very least interesting. Again, to beat a dead horse, this is accomplished through the author’s ability to write good dialogue.
Where Borger really grabbed my attention was in her attention to detail and how she presents that detail. Very often authors fail to realize that their readers are not experts in every field imaginable; their failure lies in the fact that they try to inundate the reader with details that are complicated and, to be frank, boring. Borger does not fall into this trap! She easily and simply explains the details of the case so that the reader is intrigued rather than put off. By novel’s end, the reader has learned a little something about police work and forensic botany – both of which are punctuated by scenes of humor and budding (HA!) romance.
All in all, Totally Buzzed is a very entertaining and satisfying read. None of my questions about the characters or the plot were left unanswered and the ending was absolutely perfect. There wasn’t a rush to the end to tie everything up in four pages. In fact, Borger took her time with a wonderfully paced unraveling of events that explained everything.

If you haven't been to White Bass Lake, WI and met the Miller sisters, you are really missing out.
There are times as a publisher that you wonder what you have gotten yourself into, this is one of those times, for a different reason. "Totally Buzzed" by Gale Borger is totally kick-butt whimsical. The story is solid with a good plot and a nice little mystery, but it's the characters that shine in this humorous romp.
You really have to wonder if murder should be so dang funny, but Gale knows her stuff and if you don't laugh out loud as you are reading, you should have someone check your pulse.
The Miller family is so much like a normal family, you may just think you are related to them.
The first book in a series, this one is a real gem and I encourage everyone to read it, especially if your day hasn't been so good. It's a real pick-me-up.

Once I figured out this is a parody of the small town police procedural, and that the Miller sisters are supposed to be goofy and dysfunctional, then Totally Buzzed became less annoying and more enjoyable. And when I started understanding that the references to modern detective clichés were intentional, I would laugh out loud. This book is not for the serious at heart. And in order to enjoy the crime-solving aspect of the novel, you will really need to stretch the boundaries of your suspension of disbelief.

My entire life has been spent between the covers of fantasy and sci fi novels.Though I've read a few mysteries, I've never read one that got me laughing as hard as this one did. I read it from cover to cover in one night and not only could i not put it down, I couldn't stop laughing. I had no idea mystery novels could be so much fun. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author!

OMG the characters were too funny! Reminded me of my sisters :)

Lighthearted mystery with bungling acquaintances. Unfortunately the humor didn’t work for me.
STORY BRIEF:
Buzz is probably in her 50s, a retired small town cop. She has three single sisters, Fred owns a pet store, Mag is a high school biology teacher, Al is a bossy, self-absorbed publicity seeking librarian. Buzz’s mother and her geriatric friends listen to police scanners and gossip and show up at crime scenes bringing food and turning them into picnics. Buzz has two dogs who sometimes accompany her and create spills and messes.
When looking for something else, Buzz discovers a dead body under the crawl space under her parents’ home. Buzz investigates with her sister Mag. Since Buzz is no longer a cop, she has no problem sneaking around, breaking and entering, and taking evidence. Her sister Mag does stupid things like talk too loud and use a flashlight when they are sneaking around at night. If the bad guys are there, they would hear her and see the flashlight. Mag also trips and falls a few times. The local constable Ted causes problems due to his extreme stupidity.
The bad guys are killing people, horses, and are involved with drugs.
REVIEWER’S OPINION:
I’m labeling the genre as humorous mystery because it’s meant to be funny, but I didn’t laugh. I prefer a different kind of humor. It has a slapstick quality. Buzz is a smart cop with psychic visions which are supposed to help her investigate. She’s surrounded by bungling family members and acquaintances. She has a good relationship with the sheriff. He’s smart. She’s attracted to him. There may be a future romance for them in a future book. For now he rubs the top of her head which bugs her.
This was ok as a mystery. Things get solved. There is a happy ending. Think of it as a wacky collection of a dozen different types of people and pets. The character definitions were interesting. I just wish I would have laughed out loud at something. That would have made it more stars for me. I think mystery lovers might like it. There was an interesting and complex bad guy plot.
Buzz had psychic visions when she worked on cases. Upon seeing the dead body Buzz has a vision showing exactly what happened to cause the death. She took notes about her vision and discussed it with the sheriff, but then she and the sheriff never again referred to any of those details. They slowly uncovered evidence that proved her vision, but they acted as if they hadn’t known these things. The vision was ignored during the rest of the book which bothered me.

Totally Buzzed is a lively murder mystery that's full of humor and potential.
A body turns up in the crawl space underneath a Wisconsin farmhouse, and the vic turns out to be a local woman named Carole Graff. Who killed the poor woman, and why? Luckily, retired investigator Buzz Miller takes on the case. She's smart but a little crazy, just like the friends and family who get mixed up in the case.
The story has all the elements of an intriguing mystery and contains plenty of interesting detail about forensics. There is no problem with the plot.
The question that comes to mind, though, is this: Is Totally Buzzed a murder mystery that happens to be funny, or is it a comedy that happens to include a murder? At times it's hard to tell as the story pauses for a joke or for some totally unhinged silliness that may or may not advance the plot. Buzz, who is fifty-something, has a sister Margaret, whom she regularly calls "Maggot." That's the talk of a twelve-year-old, and much of the dialog is laced with mild profanity. That is fine for establishing a character trait or for showing how a person talks in certain situations, but it's greatly overdone here. And for the family dog to pass gas once might be cute--and is probably enough. Humor can be tough, because not everyone laughs at the same things. As a general rule, though, not many people laugh at the same clever line or funny event twice.
Also there are lots of cliches and some repetition, for example "Dead bodies piss me off," followed later by "As I said, dead bodies piss me off."
This looks like a good first draft. Fix some typos and get rid of most cliches. Give the reader an occasional rest from the nonstop daffiness, and try to incorporate more of the humor into the story itself, to keep things moving. Cut the repetition. There's no need to call the same person a "rat-bastard" three times.
The crime detail is good, and the story as a whole can be fun after it gets a little TLC.

Totally Buzzed by Gale Borger is classic mystery-comedy spoof in the vein of The Three Stooges romps and Police Squad antics.
If you like your murders mixed with folksy shenanigans then a visit to White Bass Lake, Wisconsin is the place to go. Buzz Miller can’t seem to retire gracefully (or do anything gracefully for that matter) from the town’s police force. When a body turns up under her parents’ porch, Buzz sees it as her duty to get involved by assisting her ex-partner, Sheriff James J. Green in the investigation. Unfortunately the rest of her family feels the same way. Amateur sleuths and plot twists abound to keep you guessing at which characters are the good guys and who (if anyone) will eventually solve this murder. Throw in a few picnics, some romance brewing and a couple of strange pets and you have the makings for something to please everyone.
Borger aptly uses her knowledge of law enforcement and Master Gardener skills to keep the story supplied with interesting facts. As characters go, I found Buzz’s family, their friends and the police force a little too laid back about the bodies, gangsters and drug dealers to take any of the attempts at drama believable. Borger’s backstory on Buzz’s abusive ex-husband, the “Irish Magic” visions and graphic murder scenes are offset by too much slapstick, silly metaphors and juvenile behavior. This novel could have easily been reworked as a lighthearted mystery, serious crime plot or supernatural mystery-suspense; not as all three at once.
Overall the visits to Sal’s Diner are enjoyable and the narrator’s descriptions of her family entertaining. If you can overlook a few typos and tasteless “R-rated” scenes, Totally Buzzed offers a refreshing look at a more laid back lifestyle in the American Midwest.

This is a fine first novel from Gale Borger. I really enjoyed riding shot gun along side the main character, retired smalltown cop, Buzz Miller, and her collective family of odd balls, as she works to find the killer of a local greenhouse owner and finds herself embroiled in a case with international criminal implications. Set in the small, southeastern Wisconsin town of White Bass Lake, the story explores such varying topics as horse racing, gardening, and forensic botany, which Borger handles adroitly.
I'll admit there were a couple of inconsistencies in the quality writing, but nothing that bothered me enough to put the book down. I was a little thrown by the flipping back and forth in POV from first person to third person, and there were some spots where I wasn't sure what season it was supposed to be (summer or late fall). Borger also hints at some nice dark incidents in Miller's past (like why she left the force), as well as played up Buzz's Irish second sight ability, which helps her solve cases. The problem is that at least in this first book, there is too little follow through on the promise of these things. A little more would have done a lot to deepen further Miller's character and left us teased just enough to want to read more.
On the whole, however, these issues were minor compared to the my overall enjoyment of the story. The plot was interesting and pulled me right along and I developed a real fondness for the characters.
Thanks for a good read, Gale. I've already loaded up the 2nd book in the series onto my Kindle and I'm hoping there's a lot more to come!

This was an entertaining story that could have used some paring and some focus, in my opinion. I enjoyed the characters and was intrigued by the mystery. But sometimes it seemed to ramble. Maybe it's just me. I like my mysteries a little more focused, less distractions from either character development or from the plot. It had a number of very funny scenes and it was a well-plotted story.
I would consider reading other books by Gale Borger in the future if the opportunity presents itself. An aside: I was pointed to this book at the Printer's Row Lit Fest in Chicago a couple of years ago but just now got around to reading it. It (and the author) were at the Echelon Press tent and it was really nice to meet and chat with all of their authors who were in attendance.

Well, in chapter 1 we meet characters and find the body, in chapter 2 we see in a psychic vision what happened. So what is the rest of the book for??
It's full of lame physical comedy, some fart and butt jokes and seemingly endless descriptions of what the dogs are doing at the moment.
The constable is brain-dead stupid and the bad guy is more evil than Satan himself, the ending is really bad.
Don't they employ editors or something these days?

April 15, 2018I loved this. I read it for the book challenge prompt about a local author. I thought it was fun/funny and reminded me of the Stephanie Plum series but not annoying. I appreciated the landmarks that I know, State of WI, Palfrey's Glen, Highways, etc. I am going to read more in the series.
