Bunnies, bonnets and bedlam in New Orleans...

Are the rhyming threats of a crafty con man a good reason to return to New Orleans? Maybe not, but mixologist Pepper Revelle wants to neutralize her nemesis. She hopes she'll have time for cocktails and Easter parades with her friends, too-as well as the next step in her romance with fellow bartender Neil.

But they don't count on finding a body in their hotel room, the machinations of her vexing ex Mr. Mixy, and drama with her quirky family. To clear her name and settle the score, Pepper must crack the case-and figure out if her increasingly dangerous enemy engineered the murder or if another killer is involved.

As they face a farting ghost, an unexpected gig, spooky surprises and the wacky charms of the French Quarter on Easter weekend, can Pepper and Neil unravel the mystery before they're flamed like a lemon peel in a Vieux Carr©?

Why Oh Rye? is the seventh book in the Bohemia Bartenders Mysteries, funny whodunits with a dash of romance set in a convivial collective of cocktail lovers, eccentrics and mixologists. These quasi-cozy culinary comedies contain a hint of heat, a splash of cursing and shots of laughter, served over hand-carved ice.

Industry Reviews

"Why Oh Rye? by Lucy Lakestone is a scintillating, intoxicating, and thoroughly engrossing mystery."

- The Book Decoder

"What a roller-coaster ride this book turned out to be! Just when you think you've figured it all out, you find out that you didn't at all. This has become one of my favorite series. ... There's mystery, humor, even a little romance with a cast of whacky characters. They will keep you laughing as well as holding your breath as they try to avoid being victims themselves."

- Socrates' Book Reviews

"Fast-paced and full of mystery, action, and humour ... there was so much going on that it kept me turning the pages."
