Kalliope Brooks Mysteries

A quiet town. A brutal murder. A bartender caught in the crosshairs.

Kallie Brooks thought her worst problem was running out of limes during Happy Hour. That is, until she left The Lazy Gecko one night and found a young woman’s lifeless body in the back seat of her car.

In a town as small as Owhiro, Florida, news travels fast—and so does suspicion. But with the assigned detective miles away in St. Petersburg, she soon fears the tragic case is slipping through the cracks. With her best friend Tess and her ever-resourceful dad by her side, Kallie dives into the mystery, uncovering shady characters and buried secrets. But the more she digs, the harder it is to walk away.

And solving a murder is far more dangerous than mixing cocktails.

With tension, wit, and an unforgettable cast of characters, Bloody Mary, Bloody Murder is a gripping tale of deception, small-town intrigue, and one bartender’s determination to see justice served—before the killer serves up another round of murder.
