Publisher's summary
Dead in bed? Who you gonna call?
Good Catholic school girl that she is, Brandy Alexander’s a true and trusted friend, not to mention something of a detective. So, when Brandy’s best friend Julia, the ex-stripper-turned-hotelier, finds her first guest covered in blood, lying half on and half off a broken bed, with Julia’s panties swinging from the chandelier, she gets Brandy on the horn.
Cool-hand Brandy assesses the situation and carries out the only sensible course of action: First, she makes a pot of coffee, then she calls the police. Brandy then finds herself in a big, fat, pouffy-skirted Italian wedding! While Brandy enlists the help of her new beau, Jiff, to try to keep Julia out of the slammer, Brandy’s oldest school chum is getting married, and with 18 bridesmaids, Brandy can’t escape being recruited and partnered with...who else? Her favorite upstanding member of NOLA’s finest, Dante.
The suspense mounts, romance blossoms, and Jiff, a hundred percent class act, is looking more and more like Mr. Right with his own Schnauzer and a soft spot for Brandy’s three. But Dante makes it clear that he doesn’t plan to go quietly. The former Mr. Right Next Door has a few very sexy moves he’s been holding in reserve, which knock Brandy’s socks and her panties off!!
With this one, Brandy’s fast becoming a female sleuth extraordinaire with a big, easy flair, and cozy fans will be delighted to find her humor and style a bit reminiscent of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum. Fans of Stephanie Bond, Jana DeLeon, Joan Hess, Lisa Lutz, Sarah Strohmeyer, and Elaine Viets may also find a kindred spirit in this New Orleans dawlin!

I can't say they didn't warn me. Right now, I realize: I probably should have listened. Because if there's anyone who has no business playing a sport that requires a helmet, pads, and a liability waiver, it's this girl. The same girl who once knocked herself out during a game of backyard baseball. I stepped up to the plate, pulled the bat back a little too far to swing, and clocked myself in the back of the skull. Boom. Lights Out Lucy. That's how I got my roller derby name. So yeah. Maybe I should have known better.

Story
It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers.

entertaining
This is book two in the series, The New Orleans Go Cup Chronicles, and the first I have listened to or read. I have seen it listed as a cozy mystery but I would not place it there due to a few steamy scenes.
Other than those scenes, the book did follow the cozy format.
The narrator did a wonderful job.
I really feel for Brandy in respect to the wedding preparations. I can totally sympathize with her on hideous dresses, headgear, and dyed shoes. I have never understood why bridesmaids are expected to spend lavishly on outfits that are ugly (or at least not to their liking) and will probably never be worn again.
The murder in question is of a band member staying at Julia’s B & B. Julia is the number one suspect. Who is Violet- were is she, did she commit the murder? If not, then why can’t she be found?
I’m not a fan of love triangles and I can see the situation between Brandy, Jiff, and Dante going in that direction. I can only hope it does not drag on through too many books or I will begin to resent Brandy for leading them on. I can understand her needing time to figure out who she is interested in seeing and getting to know in a romantic sense.
I would recommend this romp through New Orleans and the catholic Irish Channel district.

A great listen
I thoroughly enjoyed this fun, easy, steamy listen. It's an intriguing story with well-defined characters and a good plot line. It kept me guessing until the end. Nicely done both by the author and auditor, though I'd have loved the hero to not sound so deadpanned. His accent was well done, however.

What will Brandy do with two hot men?
Dead and Breakfast is Book 2 in the New Orleans Go Cup Chronicles by Colleen Mooney. Brandy Alexander is a good Catholic girl and she has some interesting friends. Her best friend since Catholic School is Julia. Julia is a former stripper, who married, is now a widow, bought a Bed and Breakfast, and...drum roll please, has her first guest dead in a broken bed with Julia’s and his bloody clothing everywhere in the room. WOW! I did say Brandy has interesting friends. Dante arrested Julia and Jiff is representing her. Dead and Breakfast has so much drama and I laughed at the imagery created by outstanding writing. Mr Good Kisser or Jiff and Mr Right Next Door or Dante are both hot for Brandy. Throw in a big Italian Wedding and this story just got funnier and wilder. Brandy is Maid of Honor and is forced to wear a poofy dress in a hideous color, Dante is Best Man and looking hot in his tuxedo, oh yes, Jiff is coming as Brandy’s date. All of this fun and excitement while a murderer is on the loose. With lots of adult liquor flowing, the ending is surprising and perfect. Alyson Krawchuk brings the story to life. Plus, there’s more to come with Book 3!

Loved it!
family-dynamics, friendship, murder, murder-investigation, relationship-issues, law-enforcement, amateur-sleuth, women-sleuths
NOLA, Italian weddings, and murder complicated by relationships. Sounds like a winning combo to me! Filled with misdirections and red herrings plus angst and laughs, I loved it!
Alison Krawchuk did her usual fantastic interpretation!

Dead and Breakfast
Finding a dead body oat the Bed and Breakfast is never a good thing. When your best friend is covered in blood, has her panties swinging from the chandelier, and has no recollection of what happened the night before... well then it’s time to start investigating.
Colleen Mooney has written another fun, cozy mystery with quirky characters, set in the heart of New Orleans.
The narration, by Alyson Krawchuck, was well done.

When a musician is found murdered in the bed and breakfast of Brandy Alexander's friend you're taken on a fun ride with a bunch of quirky characters. Unbelievably, a bottle of specially imported wine is the key to solving the murder. I was gifted this from the author.

Very entertaining
It starts with a murder on the first day a new inn opens. The body is found half off a broken bed with panties swinging from a chandelier. It doesn't look good for stripper turned hotelier Julia. Brandy takes charge. First she makes coffee then she calls the police. I like her priorities. While trying to prove her best friend's innocence Brandy finds herself in a friend's wedding. A Big Pouffy Italian Wedding. As the maid of honor with her ex as best man. Just as she has begun a new relationship. The description of the dress is worth reading the book for, as is this description. I was given a free copy of this audiobook. I have not read the first book in the series but I want to. I thoroughly enjoyed this rather comical cozy mystery. It was well done. I only had a slight problem with the reader. She sometimes paused at the wrong place which interrupted the throw somewhat but not enough to ruin it. She sounded like Brandy Alexander.

Laugh out loud
I just finished listening to Dead and Breakfast, the second book in the New Orleans Go Cup Chronicles series. OMG! I loved it. I haven't laughed out loud at a book since I started reading and collecting Janet Evanovich books quite some time ago.
Brandy’s life is very busy. She’s trying to balance her relationship between Jiff and Dante, as well as, trying to solve the mystery of Brady’s best-friend Julia who finds the first guest of her new bed and breakfast murdered.
I can't remember the last time I was this excited about reading/(listening to) an author's entire series.

I really enjoyed the story but the narrator is painful to listen to. It’s like listening to a sixth grader read.
