Death by Bourbon is the fourth book in the Josiah Reynolds mysteries. That said, I haven't read the first three books in the series, so I went in blind. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. This time, unfortunately, didn't. I was doing ok at first, but then all of these other characters started showing up and I didn't have a clue of who they were, where they came from and what they wanted. Did it take anything away from the plot? No, not really. It just took away some of my investment.

However, I will say that the writing is fast-paced and the dialogue is witty, clever and essential to helping to figure out who killed Addison. I enjoy cozy mysteries and found the characters in Death by Bourbon to be engaging and likable. I will go back and read the first three books in the series, and then re-read this one. I'm sure it will be even better! But as for now, it's good. Intriguing, solid and fun.
