Whiskey Business: A Mixology Lounge Mystery
Reece Parker is a mixologist—shaken by his recent breakup, stirred up in a mystery, and searching for proof of his innocence...

After breaking off an engagement with his fiancée, Reece Parker opens Subplot, a literary-themed underground cocktail lounge in his quaint hometown of Hope Mills, Pennsylvania.

While launching a new business temporarily distracts him from self-pity, Reece's regret is compounded when he stumbles upon a customer's body behind the lounge after a whiskey club meeting gone wrong. As if he wasn't already on the rocks, his ex-fiancée's big brother is a police officer on the case.

Reece takes matters into his own hands to prove his innocence, save his new lounge's reputation, and restore peace in his beloved town. But as he seeks out the victim's killer, will he meet his own bitter end?

- Annie McEwen, author of the Northwoods Mysteries

About the Author

Adrian Andover is the author of Whiskey Business, his debut novel and the first entry in the Mixology Lounge Mysteries series.

Growing up, Adrian spent countless hours reading mysteries from Cam Jansen to The Boxcar Children and watching Murder, She Wrote with his grandma.
?
Fast forward to 2020. Andover was living alone in a 200-square-foot studio apartment at the height of the pandemic when he found a joyful respite in cozy mysteries. However, not seeing many gay men represented in the genre, he set out to write his own.
?
When he's not reading, writing, revising, or publishing a story, he enjoys taking long walks, listening to live music, spending time with friends, and tasting new craft cocktails around his chosen hometown of Asbury Park, NJ.
