Abi Logan, an
award-winning photo journalist, is devastated when the uncle, who
raised her after her parent’s death, dies from cancer. She was on a
photo shoot when he died, and she blames herself for not spending
more time with him. Her guilt is compounded when she discovers that
he’s left her a distillery in Scotland making a sought-after single
malt whiskey.
Abi with her friend
Patrick, and delightful dog, Liam, journey to Scotland to check out
the distillery. Her guilt increases when she finds that the distillery
was named for her and the adjacent house is named the Haven, the name
of her beloved childhood home. Besides trying to learn about whiskey to decide among the numerous offers she has for the
business, things become more complicated when she faces death
threats, break-ins, and arson.
I enjoyed this cozy
mystery. It was fascinating to learn about Scotland’s whiskey
business, I had no idea it was so complex. The setting in the
highlands adds charm to the story. Romance is in the air, but it
doesn’t overwhelm the plot just adds a nice touch of human
interaction. The plot has plenty of twists. I think you'll be surprised by the ending.
The characters are
excellent. Liam is a particular favorite. I also enjoyed the various
types of men, women are not welcome in the whiskey business, running
the small distilleries in the highlands.
This is the first
book in the new series. I recommend it and will be looking forward to
the future adventures of Abby and Liam.
I received this book
from Alibi for this review.
