The Mack’s Bar Mystery series by Allyson K. Abbott is a six-book mystery series set in and around a bar. It runs from 2013 to 2018, with one book released each year.

That consistent naming pattern ties the whole series together.
Each book came out roughly a year apart, giving the series a steady pace from start to finish. Readers who enjoy cozy mysteries with a strong recurring setting will find the bar backdrop gives this series its own identity. Start with Murder on the Rocks and read in order, since the characters and their relationships develop across all six books.
