She saved Carraigfaire—but can she save her friends? Gethsemane Brown fought off an attack by a sleazy hotel developer who wanted to turn her Irish cottage into a tourist trap. Now she must face a vengeful ghost determined to exact revenge for her murder centuries ago. This ghost’s wrath spares no one—not Gethsemane’s students, Inspector Niall O’Reilly, fellow teacher Frankie Grennan, or a group of ghost hunters descended on Dunmullach to capture proof ghosts exist. Proof Gethsemane has to quash to keep Eamon, her resident ghost and friend, from becoming an internet sensation. As if a spiteful specter wasn’t bad enough, a crooked music reviewer turns up dead in the opera house orchestra pit, a famous composer is arrested for the crime, and Gethsemane must team up with a notorious true-crime author to clear his name. If she doesn’t, friends will die, a ghost she cares about will never know peace, and she’ll star in a final act gruesome enough for any opera.

Author Alexia Gordon’s Boozy Bests Lists

Gethsemane Brown is a whiskey drinker. She loves Bushmills Irish whiskey but won’t turn her nose up at a fine bourbon or a single malt Scotch. I didn’t know much about whiskey until I began doing research for my series. Not only did I learn how much fun research can be, I also learned what all the fuss was about when it came to fine whiskey.

Like Gethsemane, I prefer my whiskey neat. Some of my favorites (in no order other than alphabetical):

--Ardbeg Uigedail Islay single malt Scotch

--Connemara Peated single malt Irish whiskey

--Knob Creek Small Batch Single Barrel Reserve Kentucky straight bourbon

--Koval Single Barrel bourbon

--Laphroaig 10 Year Islay single malt Scotch

--Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy single pot still Irish whiskey

--Tullamore D.E.W. Irish whiskey

--Whistlepig rye whiskey

But, every now and then, I like to mix things up and have a cocktail. Some favorites:

--Black Tie Manhattan at the Deerpath Inn in Lake Forest

--Dewlep at Paddy Coynes in Seattle

--Galatoire’s Specialty Cocktail at Galatoire’s 33 Bar and Steak in New Orleans

--Sazerac at Broadway Oyster Bar in St. Louis

--Old Fashioned at Francesca’s Intimo in Lake Forest

A writer since childhood, I put literary endeavors on hold to finish medical school and Family Medicine residency training. Medical career established, I returned to writing fiction. I completed SMU's Writer’s Path program in Dallas, Texas. Henery Press published my first novel, Murder in G Major, book one of the Gethsemane Brown mysteries, in September 2016. Book two, Death in D Minor, released July 11, 2017. Book three, Killing in C Sharp, comes out March 6, 2018. Murder in G Major won the Lefty Award for Best Debut Novel, was nominated for an Agatha Award for Best New Novel and was selected one of Suspense Magazine's Best Debuts.

I listen to classical music, drink whiskey, and blog at www.missdemeanors.com, voted one of Writers' Digest magazine's 101 best websites for writers, and featured on Femmes Fatales.
