Book Review: Teetotaled by Maia Chance

Teetotaled
by Maia Chance

Lola Woodby is one of the most delicious characters I’ve ever read about! I’m not typically a fan of mysteries… but I read the Come Hell or High Ball a couple years ago, and I absolutely fell head over heels for Lola! The stories are set in the Roaring 20s, which is a time period I love! Lola is a bit on the heavy, curvaceous side, surrounded by waifish flappers. She loves her dog more than anything. And she’s big on food and drink. So really, you could put Lola Woodby in any kind of story, and I’d enjoy reading about her. It just happens that she’s in mysteries. Lucky for me, the writing is fabulously funny and captivating!

[If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try Come Hell or High Ball, by Maia Chance, or Mr. Churchill’s Secretary, by Susan Elia MacNeal.]
