I enjoyed the story and suspense. I really enjoyed the topic and the research/knowledge that the author put into the subject of
producing Whiskey. It was very interesting.

…this was a great afternoon’s read and this seems to be a series that will be enjoyable for a long time to come.
~I Read What You Write

I was drawn to it by the cover (charming!) then kept in the story because wow, what a character Abi is. I feel like I can call her Abi, now after all we did face uncertainty together, and she almost dies! I mean after such a page turner, superb plot, how could we not be friends?

This book has surprised me a lot, it’s not just intriguing, the mystery will keep you guessing till the end of the book and there are a few interesting lessons about whiskey.

Single Malt Murder: A Whisky Business Mystery

Ballantine Group; Alibi | On Sale: March 21^st, 2017 | ISBN: 9780399179051| 300 Pages | Price: $4.99

When Abi inherits her uncle’s quaint and storied single malt distillery, she finds herself immersed in a competitive high-stakes business that elicits deep passions and prejudices. An award-winning photojournalist, Abi has no trouble capturing the perfect shot—but making the perfect shot is another matter. When she starts to receive disturbing, anonymous threats, it’s clear that someone wants her out of the picture. But Abi’s never been one to back down from a fight.

Arriving on the scene with her whisky-loving best friend, Patrick, and an oversized wheaten terrier named Liam, Abi seems to put everyone in the bucolic village on edge—especially her dour but disturbingly attractive head distiller. Acts of sabotage and increasingly personal threats against Abi make it clear that she is not welcome. When one of Abi’s new employees is found floating facedown in a vat of whisky, Abi is determined to use her skills as an investigative journalist to identify the cold-blooded killer and dispense a dram of justice before he strikes again. But distilling truth from lies is tricky, especially when everyone seems to have something to hide.
