Amazon 5 Star Review:
"If you liked David M. Hamlin’s first and second Emily Winter books, “Winter in Chicago” and “Winter Gets Hot,” you’re really going to love number three, “Killer Cocktail.” After reading the opening few pages I knew this was going to be a story that would be a treat to read. From his crisp writing style, to his well-developed storyline, Hamlin treads the streets of Chicago with affection to pull readers into the world he has created to give them a good read. From “back in the day” in 1977 when TV was still deciding what it wanted to be when it grew up, Hamlin’s characters fight the daily battle to give their viewers the latest, honest, truthful and best news coverage available. Integrity in reporting and broadcast practices; discrimination in the workplace; and first amendment rights are tested daily by investigative reporter Emily Winter and her WSMP-TV colleagues; her lawyer husband, Ben; the local police; and the good guys and bad guys alike. When is a group of demonstrators just a group of people exercising their right to free speech and when do they become an angry mob? Sound familiar? “Killer Cocktail” is witty, smart, relevant and engaging. Don’t pass this one by."
