My name is Addison Holmes, and I teach history at James Madison High School in Whiskey Bayou, Georgia. You might be under the assumption that my life went to the dogs when my fiancé left me at the altar for the home economics teacher, or when I got notice that my apartment building was going to be condemned, or even when I was desperate enough to strip to my unmentionables to earn some extra cash. The truth is that I'm pretty much used to disasters following me around on a daily basis, but I could have gone without finding my principal dead in the parking lot of a seedy gentlemen's club.
After the initial shock of finding my first dead body, which included throwing back shots of Jack Daniels like it was water, I decided to take stock of my life. I was in a desperate situation and if the school board ever found out I'd been a stripper, even a bad stripper, I'd be jobless as well as fiancé-less and homeless.
Fortunately, I had a friend who felt sorry enough for me to give me a job doing some surveillance work at her detective agency. Not to mention the fact that I was now able to stick my nose into other people's business for a good cause, find a murderer, and pick up helpful tips from an incredibly attractive detective. Come check out my story and be thankful your life is relatively normal.

Thank goodness this was free. I just couldn't finish. This story caught my interest from the first page...drama and humor combined. The story line was really good and I really wanted to find out what happened, but I CAN'T STAND THE MAIN CHARACTER, ADDISON!!!!!Oh my gosh, what a DITZ, an airhead, so irritating!!! I have no patience for a person that causes their own trouble. And Addison is a high school teacher????
She breaks the rules and wonders why she gets into trouble?
She takes a 2nd job as a stripper and wonders how word gets out in this small town.
She eats a banana split while driving through morning traffic. Not a cone you can eat with one hand, a banana split, that takes a utensil. She cuts people off, almost gets into an accident.
She can't keep promises or secrets. Ugh! Steer clear of this immature 30 yr old. She sounds like a high school student herself and even then an immature high school student.
If the author had just toned down Addison's antics, I would have really enjoyed the book. A little bit of a klutz or airhead is fine, but one right after the other and her inability to understand why things happen to her was just too much.
As I was reading, I said to myself, oh no, here it comes. I can see another mini disaster about to happen because Addison will make the wrong aka STUPID decision. If she does, I'm done with this book. She did. It was very anti-climatic to only be able to delete this book off my Kindle. If this was a paperback, I would have enjoyed tearing it apart in the same childish manner of Addison.

Whiskey Rebellion (Audible Audio Edition) Liliana Hart Connie Ventress Books Reviews
This book might be chick lit. Or romance, if you think romance is sexual feelings toward someone you just met or you get your kicks from peeking in windows. What it definitely is not is a mystery, despite the fact that it opens with the heroine stumbling over a body.
Speaking of the heroine, she's supposed to be a history teacher, but her behavior is more like that of one of her students. She's the one with the raging hormones. She's ditzy. I'm not sure how she managed to get a college degree. Her interests appear to be ice cream and sex, not any kind of history.
When the handsome homicide detective--yes, a cliche--happened to mention that he was trying to solve a murder 35% of the way into the book, a murder that no one seemed to care about in most of the first third, I stopped reading. I realized there was nothing in this book about investigating the crime or interviewing suspects or the stakes being raised because the victim was dead. I decided this book was not worth my time and deleted it, and the other free book by this author I'd downloaded, from my and started reading an Agatha Christie.
A cute totally unbelievable but fun murder mystery. Addison Holmes needed a big influx of cash in 60 days, so she answers an add for a stripper position in a sleazy bar. Since she is a high school history teacher with no experience as a stripper, she does not let it stop her from trying. What she does not know is that her schools principle is watching. She is fired after her first attempt and leaves by the back door, stumbling over a body in the parking lot. This story continues with Addison being questioning by Nick, who is the detective assigned to the case.
hilarious, amateur-sleuth, murder-investigation, law-enforcement, family-dynamics, no-gratuitous-erotica
If you want to laugh yourself silly, you need this book! Full of situational and verbal humor, more twists than a Dairy Queen cone, and thwarted acts of space invaders. The town of Whiskey Bayou is home to a history teacher turned stripper (not a good idea) turned consultant to her best friend's investigation agency who is also a royal klutz and seems to keep finding trouble and corpses. And then there's the Savannah cop who wants more than her testimony!
I lucked out and got this as Whispersync on the cheap courtesy of Book Gorilla.
Connie Ventress did a marvelous audio interpretation.
On her first (and last) day as a really bad stripper, Addison Holmes walks out of The Foxy Den — only to trip over the body of the principal of the school she teaches history at. Her fiancé left her at the alter and her apartment has been condemned, so she needs money to move. Fortunately, she has a friend who is a private detective and Kate (the friend) hires her to do surveillance work...
What a fun afternoon read! This book was part murder mystery, part suspense and part humour. The story moved along at a decent pace and was very entertaining. I kept reading to see how much trouble Addison would get into while she was doing a handful of surveillance cases for Kate — it seems like trouble followed her everywhere! The humour mixed in with the murders was just the right touch to keep the book interesting and I laughed out loud more than once while reading. Nick was a great character, I hope we see more of him in future books in this series. I am officially hooked (yes, I will be reading them all).
~The main character is a ditz. I could live with that.
~I like a good cozy murder mystery…However, in just a couple pages, maybe it was only paragraphs, we are moved from (main character) Addison and (Police Detective) Nick meeting at the crime scene to them falling in love…or in their case, falling in lust. There was no time of a romance to develop. I tired very quickly of their anticipation of having sex together.
~The “murder mystery” part of the story almost seemed secondary to “romance” part of the story. I’m reading fiction, so I can suspend a fair amount of reality…but this story takes it to the very edge of plausibility.
~It's not a cozy story...it's not a mystery story...I'm not really sure what it is.
~I would not recommend this book to anyone interested in a good mystery.
Thank goodness this was free. I just couldn't finish. This story caught my interest from the first page...drama and humor combined. The story line was really good and I really wanted to find out what happened, but I CAN'T STAND THE MAIN CHARACTER, ADDISON!!!!!
