Single Malt Murder: A Whisky Business Mystery | Melinda Mullet
18 posts | 12 read | 4 to read
Abigail Logan never expected to inherit a whisky distillery in the Scottish Highlands. But in the first novel of an engaging new series blending fine spirits with chilling mystery, Abi finds that there are secrets lurking in the misty glens that some will go to any lengths to protect . . . even murder. When Abi inherits her uncles 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 shotbut making the perfect shot is another matter. When she starts to receive disturbing, anonymous threats, its clear that someone wants her out of the picture. But Abis 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 edgeespecially 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 Abis 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.

It's still Tuesday! Yay! Thanks @Buechersuechtling, I like those questions!

1. The tagged book - works well with a wee dram, or two, or ... er ... well.

2. I usually read English books in the original, with other languages it's either the English or German translation, whichever is available. There are a couple of French and Czech books on my shelves, as well as a Latin Harry Potter, although I find those hard to read.

I really enjoyed this. The narrator was perfect. I actually wondered about the murderer before it was said - maybe I‘m learning some things after a summer of cozy mysteries! It was an interesting topic, there was a dog and the whiskey made for an interesting subtopic. #readwomen #cozymystery

Cinfhen Dogs & whiskey?!? I'm thinking of u @Booksnchill 😘😘😘 6y

Good cozy mystery. I'm going to have to disagree with heroine's dislike of peaty whisky. Although it's definitely either you love it or hate it thing. I think Laphroaig smells like heaven on earth. My husband says it smells of burning electronics. 😏 #whiskydrinkingwoman

Leniverse I have to admit I prefer my whiskey to not taste like a forest fire. 😜 6y
CarolynM My husband loves Whisky, I never did until I tried Lagavulin. I think that smells (and tastes for that matter) like gasoline - and I love it! 6y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @CarolynM Lagauvulin my 2nd favorite! 6y
Bookwomble I used to be the Customer Relations Officer (for which read, "Person You Can Complain to About your First World Problems" Officer) for a national supermarket, part of my area of responsibility being alcohol. We had so many complaints that Islay malts were "contaminated with disinfectant" that one exasperated distiller wrote back to me asking us to stop selling their product to philistines with a uneducated palate! ?? 6y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @Bookwomble 😂 I never waste the Laphroaig or Lagauvulin on the undeserving. 6y

'Peat Monster' says the heroine of a whisky from Islay. Did she just diss my beloved Laphroaig? 🧐 #amateur

This is truly one of the best cozy mysteries I have read in a long time! But, what's not to like when the storyline is centered around a Scottish whiskey distillery? Abi Logan, award winning photojournalist, inherits Abbey Glen from her beloved uncle. Abi is bright, strong and willing to face scrutiny, displeasure and danger. And, of course, learn all about making whiskey. Amazing read...#Zeke gives it two paws up too! #netgalley #catsoflitsy

#LitsyPartyOfOne baseball edition. Watching the Phillies while reading. #Zeke is burrowed under the blanket...he's displeased with the current action in the game. #catsoflitsy

MicheleinPhilly I am very pleased with the action in the game. 😋 8y
Librarybelle Agreed, @MicheleinPhilly ! We're pretty happy here right now. Phillies didn't look so good the top of the 1st, but they brought their offensive game tonight!! May it continue! 8y
MicheleinPhilly When it rains, it pours! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 8y
MicheleinPhilly That was a fun inning. Jayson Werth looks feral. 😖 8y
Librarybelle @MicheleinPhilly haha! So true! Because of where I live, I rarely get to see the Phillies on TV. Glad I could watch this game tonight! 8y
