About this listen

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 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 face down 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.

The narrator was very good but did not research Scottish pronunciation (schon, Culloden to mention just 2).

The premise of an unspoilt, tourist free village in Stirlingshire is preposterous

There are quite a few Americanisms (cell phone/ precinct etc).

I really enjoyed the story as such, a great feel good novel to cheer me up while down with flu - but I felt a little let down by the dialogue, so stilted, so many phrases and clichés which makes the characters a bit flat and boring - they deserve a bit more personality, a bit more fun.

Would make a sweet film though.

A little more research / editing would have been nice
