Since we're talking about alcoholic drinks today, I figured a book center on Whisky was apt!
Synopsis:
Distillery owner Abigail Logan discovers that high spirits are no match for a cold-blooded killer as the Whisky Business Mystery series puts a fatal twist on stiff competition.
It’s been a year since globe-trotting photojournalist Abi Logan inherited Abbey Glen, a whisky distillery in the heart of the Scottish countryside. To her surprise, the village of Balfour already feels like home, and her new business partner, Grant MacEwan, continues to be too charming to resist. But Abi has a history of relationship disasters, so she struggles to avoid an ill-fated romance with Grant. Steering clear is hard enough on a day-to-day basis, but when the two head off to a whisky industry competition together, Abi panics. Five-star resort, four glorious days of nonstop whisky tasting, and a fatally attractive Scotsman—what could possibly go wrong?
The night before the award presentations, with foreign and domestic whisky makers at one anothers’ throats, two judges are found dead under mysterious circumstances. What started with three dream-come-true nominations for Abby Glen’s whisky soon turns into a nightmare for Abi. With a killer on the loose, she must call on her investigative skills to stop another murder—before she gets taken out of the running herself.
Review:
Having read the previous books in the series (SINGLE MALT MURDER and DEATH DISTILLED) I couldn't wait to see what had happened to Abi and Grant- had Abi realized she wanted to stay at the distillery with Grant, or had she left him to it? The book picks up months later, after the Christmas holidays, and gets Abi right back into the thick of things. As one of the characters says "death does seem to follow you!". In the middle of an awards getaway she finds herself not only in the middle yet again, but targeted for unknown reasons. I finished the book in one sitting, as I couldn't put it down. It has the perfect blend of humor (runaway sheep brought back in a Mini Cooperanyone? LOL) and mystery (and a little romance) to keep you reading!
