Bartender Wanted: A Rose Leary Mystery, Book 1 (The Rose Leary Mystery Series)

Maureen Anne Jennings

4.9/5 (22991 ratings)

Description:Gritty glamour in 1980s New York City doesn’t come cheap. To afford even her fifth-floor walkup, Rose Leary needs a gig. Bartending at a neighborhood joint subsidizes her writing career, even if she does fill a dead woman’s platforms. Rose speculates about who killed her predecessor, but her novel’s looming deadline demands she dedicate all creativity to her fiction. When another bartender dies, Rose pictures her name scrawled at the top of the murderer’s hit list. Even sarcasm can’t shield her from this coming danger. Frightening phone calls and ominous gifts turn everyone she meets into a suspect. Dead flowers dirty her hallway, and her phone shrills menace. Terror invades her life and paralyzes her writing. Rose struggles to expose the killer in a desperate race to save herself and her work.Set in the West Village restaurant and bar scene, Bartender Wanted resurrects a city where fishmongers and greengrocers fill the stores now colonized by designers, and brawny butchers still work in the Meatpacking District. Written with wit, intelligence, and a distinctive style, the Rose Leary series creates a signature cocktail so intoxicating it keeps readers coming back for more. Bartender Wanted introduces the Rose Leary murder mystery series, where tales of chilling suspense and cold-blooded murder are spiked with generous dashes of humor.About the AuthorMaureen Anne Jennings has worn the hats of a journalist, copywriter, editor, publishing consultant, media manager, book festival director, and Fillmore East staffer. She owns more than 100 hats, not all of them work related. The Rose Leary Series of mysteries includes Bartender Wanted and One Too Many. Her short fiction has appeared in the anthologies Traveler’s Tales Italy, Cartwheels on the Faultline, and Saltwater Sweetwater, as well as in various periodicals. After the obligatory waitressing in college, she squandered a few years behind the bar at various dives in lower Manhattan. She also owned and operated a pub in northern California. Be careful what you write about. She graduated from Fordham University summa cum laude in comparative literature and still reads as many novels as she possibly can. Words are her life.Praise for Bartender A Rose Leary Mystery, Book 1:Maureen Anne Jennings has created a narrator of such charm and wit I'd follow her anywhere--including places where very bad things happen. Jennings puts me right there with stubborn, plucky Rose Leary as she fends off creepy advances by men she encounters at her job at a bar called My World. Jennings's vivid descriptions of New York City are often humorous and always evocative. I delighted in this Rose Leary mystery for the same reason I've relished Raymond Chandler's novels, because what Chandler did for 1940s Los Angeles, Maureen Anne Jennings does for 1980s New York. Let her take you there. —Susan Bono, author of What Have We HereAs you stand behind the bar in Rose's platform shoes, or accompany her through the shadowy streets of lower Manhattan, watch out for bons mots hidden in Jennings’ deceptively simple prose. You'll find yourself delaying the pleasure of clicking onto the next page in favor of uncovering layered witticisms that lurk in every paragraph.—Pamela Glasscock, artistSuch a great read it kept me up all night. I had to discover who would survive the rash of murders and how Rose, who's so savvy and sexy it's fun just to listen to her, would do the sleuthing and not get herself done in. Couldn't recommend more highly to anyone loving good mysteries and above all good writing, because Jennings is tops.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
