Drinks and Sinkholes: A Cozy Fantasy Novel

Written by S. Usher Evans

Narrated by Deborah Balm

Warm beds, quaint mysteries, and the best rosemary bread this side of Pigsend Creek. Welcome to the Weary Dragon Inn.

Bev may not know who she was before she showed up in the quaint village of Pigsend five years ago, but that doesn't bother her much. She's made a tidy little life for herself as the proprietor of the Weary Dragon Inn, where the most notable event is when she makes her famous rosemary bread. 

But when earthquakes and sinkholes start appearing all over town, including near Bev's front door, she's got to put on her sleuthing hat to figure out what—or who—might be causing them before the entire town disappears. 

 Drinks and Sinkholes is the first book in the Weary Dragon Inn Series, a cozy fantasy by two-time award-winning author S. Usher Evans.

Reviews for Drinks and Sinkholes

[Anna Sarro · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I really enjoyed this cozy mystery with fantasy/magical elements. Bev, owner of The Weary Dragon Inn, has to find out what's causing sinkholes in and around her town of Pigsend and stop it before her beloved inn collapses. There's mystery about unknown magic since magic has been heavily controlled/regulated by the Queen after the recent war. And there's Bev's own past. She's an amnesiac who arrived in town just five years prior. I love that her name is short for "beverage wench" because that was the job they gave her. Audiobook narrator was excellent and I can't wait to dive into the next book!
