Abi Logan has been
co-owner of a whiskey distillery for a year. She’s beginning to
feel at home in the male dominated industry and loves the town of
Balfour. The major temptation is her co-owner Grant MacEwan. Abi is
trying to keep her distance. Not only does she have a history of
disastrous relationships, but she wants the Whiskey Boys, other
distillery owners, to take her seriously. Still it’s hard to stay
away from Grant.
One of the major
events of the year is the whiskey competition. This year it’s being
held at a five star resort. Abi is looking forward to the chance to
get away. However, things start to get tense almost immediately. The
Scotland distillers are not happy about the international distillers,
especially when they see the quality of their entries. It gets even
worse when two of the judges are murdered with nicotine poisoning.
Inspector Michaelson is short handed, so Abi finds herself pressed
into service, not that she minds helping to solve a mystery.
The book has
fascinating details about the whiskey industry. I particularly
enjoyed the setup for the competition and the differences between
various entries. The description of the setting was great. I wanted
to got to Scotland to see this lovely area.
I was disappointed
that we didn’t see more of Grant. Abi seemed more nervous in this
book than previously. She was trying so hard to join the club. Liam,
her dog, was a delight, as usual, and stole the show at the
competition. If you enjoy mysteries in interesting settings, this is
a good one.
I received this book
from Alibi for this review.
