Bourbon Chase: The San Francisco Mystery Series, Book 1

Book Synopsis: ★★★★★ "Venice is a fabulous crime/mystery and suspense writer. She knows and understands the legal system and that is conveyed in her storytelling. The action and drama feel very authentic. The interplay between the police and the DA's office is written with a keen eye, keeping it quite realistic. Additionally, the story is nicely paced; readers are engaged from the first page and yearn for more. Even though Bourbon Chase is titled a mystery, it contains a lovely undercurrent of romance. The romance is beautifully threaded throughout the story and contributes wonderfully to the overall story arc." 5 Stars WomenUsingWords.wordpress.com Alexi Venice's award-winning San Francisco Mystery Series is a crime drama that tests the bonds of love and loyalty among Dr. Jen Dawson, Detective Tommy Vietti, and District Attorney Amanda Hawthorne. Physician Jen Dawson is a rising star in the emergency room. An athlete addicted to sunshine and sea, she's focusing on training for a triathlon. Her boyfriend, Tommy Vietti, is an experienced detective who is loyal to the police force, his Italian family, and Jen. Amanda Hawthorne is a charismatic District Attorney who prosecutes criminals while fending off attacks from mobsters. As San Francisco's most eligible lesbian, Amanda has her choice of female companions, so why is she attracted to Jen, who is supposedly straight? When Dr. Lane Wallace, one of Jen's physician colleagues, becomes a suspect in a murder investigation, Tommy and Amanda invade Jen's professional life. Jen sticks up for Lane but discovers she has more in common with Amanda than just butting heads. ★★★★☆ Got hooked! Perfect mix of mystery and romance. Goodreads Reviewer ★★★★★ "This book (heck, the whole series) is FANTASTIC! Rarely do books get into my thoughts like these did - I would think about them during the day at work. The two main characters, Amanda & Jen, are people I wish were my real friends (maybe I need to get out more?) Anyhow, the books are so good & I cannot recommend them highly enough... The story line is great, the writing is great, my only complaint is that there aren't more books to the series! More! More! More Venice! :)" Goodreads - 5 stars - Nacho Mouse Read more
