Story
On the night of the school prom, a young teacher is found dead in the Thames in a drug-related accident. It seems - at first - to be another sign that Cherringham High is spiralling out of control. The new head however is convinced that the teacher's death is suspicious and quietly calls in Sarah Edwards. With her one-time detective partner, Jack Brennan, back in America, Sarah is at first reluctant to take on the case. But when she does get involved, it soon becomes clear that the tragic accident might really be a case of murder - and even Sarah herself could be in danger.

It’s October in Montreal, 2002, and winter is coming on fast. Past due on his first freelance gig and ensnared in lies to his family and friends, a graphic design student with a gambling addiction goes after the first job that promises a paycheck: dishwasher at the sophisticated La Trattoria. Though he feels out of place in the posh dining room, warned by the manager not to enter through the front and coolly assessed by the waitstaff in their tailored shirts, nothing could have prepared him for the tension and noise of the kitchen, or the dishpit’s clamor and steam.

Publisher's Summary
Actor Kelsey Grammer, best known for his roles in the TV sitcoms Cheers and Frasier, delivers Bitter Brew, a compelling mystery featuring Detective Bill Walsh, an upstate cop in the quiet, rural town of Beatriceville, 200 miles north of New York City, who suspects foul play in the death of millionaire city transplant Jonathan Kimball, even though the evidence points to suicide, not murder.
Between the four grown daughters he adores - even if they make him crazy - his complicated relationship with his ex, and his annoying boss, probing into a death that most have deemed a suicide is the last headache Bill needs. But the inexorable desire for justice and to do his job lead him to delve into many town secrets that most in Beatriceville citizens would prefer to keep unexamined.
Filled with colorful characters and with a riveting pace, Bitter Brew will keep listeners guessing until the unexpected denouement.

Is this supposed to be a serious story or not.
I can't tell if this some kind of parody. Characters are not deep, the story is even less deep. I just like Kelsey Grammer's voice.

A very good first book.
This is an easy to enjoy mystery. It did not challenge me, but sometimes that is exactly what the doctor ordered. Here and there the main character comes across as a little prude and self righteous, but these are easily overlooked flaws. Of course, excellent narration by Kelsey Grammer.

Terrible with bizarre incest porn ending
The first 5.5 hours were not great but on a road trip with my family, it was benign enough to keep everyone mildly interested. Then the book turned left. The final hour and a half was a hilariously bad, raunchy experiment into S&M, bondage, and incest porn. Who would have seen that coming? Pun intended. It was hilariously awkward to have my senior father, my husband and I listening to this garbage at 1am after a 12 hour drive. Maybe give this a pass!

Come for Kelsey Grammer, Stay for Kelsey Grammer
I'll admit it. I got this book purely because I'm a fan of Kelsey Grammer. This is a good book. The biggest flaws in the book for me were the main character's obsession with sex, sexuality, and gender issues. Going from a decent mystery to a obsession over whether a character is male or female was a pretty strong drawback.

Not My Cup of Tea
Engaging enough to keep me listening, but the old fart alley cat was more pathetic than sympathetic. The sexual content was a turn-off and I figured out the culprit well in advance of the revelation - or should I say revulsion.
Mediocre.

At times outright hilarious, honest depictions of characters that were made more real by the humor and curmudgeonliness of the author. Felt like an old time radio show

This has been a surprise from running into it on Audible - no idea Kelsey had published a murder mystery, my fiction of choice. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, finishing with a few swipes at the ending tears. Kelsey is a fine actor and what fun to hear him narrating this book. The locale was a surprise but similar to my own growing up. The plot - ah, just buy it! I will be pacing until his next mystery shows up.

Despite the predictability, it was great!
I am blown away that KG wrote and narrated this. Okay, he had help, but it has turned out very well. The main character is delightful despite his dirty-old-man lusting after every woman. And his narration is tremendous. 98% of the time, I strongly discourage authors from narrating their books; it almost never turns out well, but this is one of those 2% successes! Good voices, good cadence, and good stress.
The solution to the crime is a tad predictable, but it was still enjoyable getting there. The llamas are delightful, the craft beer interesting; there were even apples, but they were not the uber-tasty apples from Macintosh Country on the east side of the Hudson. The best part of the story is the hero's realization that his hasn't been such a bad life, and his wonderful relationship with his daughters.
Oh! Might there be more stories, like a series? That would be nice.

Not sure how I feel
The story is decent. I predicted ‘who-dun-it’ reasonably early on, but that’s not a bad thing, that means there were sufficient hints. The main character is what makes me not sure how I feel about this. He’s a bit smarmy and a little creepy. He compares a younger woman he’s sleeping with a little too often to his daughters for my comfort. I understand the author wanting to show he doesn’t just sleep around with young women, but at the same time he also revels in it. The messages are kinda mixed. I liked seeing an older man struggle with this new open minded world, and though he didn’t always understand, he respectfully embraced it. That I enjoyed. It’s not a bad book. It’s modern and on point. It doesn’t blow me away and the main character made my skin crawl a few times. I don’t mind healthy sexual appetite, but he was just so creepy about it.

Who doesn’t love Kelsey Grammer....
Interesting story read in a very easy listening way. He has such wonderful diction and just read it really well. I didn’t love it but I didn’t not like it. There was a lot of poor detective work and the end was a bit stunning and not what was expected but all in all it was an enjoyable way to pass a couple of afternoons. I hope he writes and/or reads another book.
