Julesy | 1420 comments I had no idea that Beth Amos is also Annelise Ryan. I've had the first Mattie Winston audio book forever. I need to move it up in my pile.

Linda (rudylkr) | 9006 comments I haven't read anything by this author before but have heard good things about the Mattie Winston series. I ordered the first book in each series from the library.

Linda (rudylkr) | 9006 comments Just finished my first Mattie Winston book and loved it! Definitely won't be my last. I really liked Mattie's personality. Hopefully I'll get to Murder on the Rocks later this month, depending on if a good bingo category for it gets called.

Am just starting Murder on the Rocks, and did not realize until starting it that it is by a "local" (as in same state) author. Which will tick off another criteria in this year's "ultimate" challenge, as well as one for this month's mini.

Nell | 1228 comments Just finished Murder on the Rocks and really enjoyed it! The MCs extra-sensitivity adds a dimension to her character but is not overdone. Very good mystery - several suspects with plausible motives. Glad I read it.

Murder on the Rocks (Mack's Bar Mystery, #1) by Allyson K. Abbott

I've read my first book by this author, Murder on the Rocks, and I've really enjoyed it. I think I have a new series to read, too. ☺
