Audible Editor Reviews
A stunning debut from Elizabeth Zelvin, Death Will Get You Sober is
the tale of a down-and-out recovering alcoholic who has decided to turn
his life around... and perhaps solve a mystery in the process. When
drunks start dying in downtown New York City, who better to investigate
than one of their own? Enter Bruce Kohler. Mark Boyett performs this
audiobook with real panache. He nails Kohler's dry and intelligent persona.
Zelvin's work is in capable hands with Boyett, a seasoned narrator of
fast-paced adventures.
Publisher's Summary
On Christmas Day, Bruce Kohler wakes up in detox on the Bowery in New
York City. He knows it s time to change his life, but how can he stay
sober without dying of boredom? When homeless alcoholics start to die
unexpectedly, Bruce is surprised to find he cares enough to want to
find out why. Most of them had been down and out for many years, but
Bruce's friend Guff was different: a cynical aristocrat with a trust
fund and some secrets.
Two old friends give Bruce a second chance and agree to help him with
his investigation: his best friend, Jimmy, a computer genius and history
buff who's been in AA for years, and Jimmy's girlfriend Barbara, a counselor
who sometimes crosses the line between helping and codependency. Barbara
works a night shift at the detox and confronts a counselor who might
still be dealing drugs. Bruce gets a job temping for Guff's arrogant
nephew. Between the three of them, suspects start piling up. The trail
leads back to the detox. Or does it?
In Death Will Get You Sober, Bruce discovers that the church basements
of AA are a small world in the big city of New York. As he grapples
with staying sober, he finds that not drinking is only the beginning
of coming back to life - a life he finds he wants to keep when it's
threatened by a killer. Debut author Elizabeth Zelvin has used her expertise
as an addiction councilor to pen a riveting mystery filled with memorable,
realistic characters who are as flawed as they are heroic.
