About this listen

When a dilapidated distillery comes up for sale in rural Kintyre, Eilidh and her wife Morag jump at the chance. But their ambition to run the first women-owned whisky distillery in Scotland seems to be scuppered when a grisly, decades-old secret is revealed: two dead bodies have been stuffed into barrels, perfectly preserved in single malt.

To add to their woes, a TV crew has just arrived and the townsfolk will not leave them alone. Eilidh becomes obsessed with solving the murders while juggling whisky tastings, ceilidhs, protests and scandals – everything you'd expect from a wee Scottish town imprisoned by its own geography. And no matter how hard you try, the locals will always find out your secrets.

Really enjoyed the style of writing and the story. I was hooked. And so caught up I missed all the clues to who dunnit! Enjoyed it being a female-led story in such a seeming male-dominated industry and how that was weaved in to the plot.

Great book - murder + whisky = excellent

I absolutely adore Natalie Jayne Clarks' writting style, very clever and kept me totally enthralled! This book kept me coming back and I would find any excuse to listen, even if I could only manage 5 minutes at a time.

hooked from chapter one!

A lesbian couple who know all about whisky buy a derelict distillery in Campbelltown with the intention of selling the abandoned whisky and re-opening the distilling business. But they discover an unsolved murder case, lots of local busy-bodies and some rifts in their own relationship. Needless to say there’s a happy ending. The distillery comes back to life, the dead bodies don’t, the marriage prevails and the neighbours turn out to be a jolly lot. Even the fluffy labrador gets on fine.
Sarah Barron, the Audiobook’s narrator is a superstar. She served up a big bundle of different voices and accents, portraying different characters. It must be like walking twenty tightropes at once. She was brilliant.
I’ve had a tough year in some ways, and while I was at the Edinburgh Book Festival I realised I needed something light and fun. This was in the festival book shop, as was my other happiest read of the season: Around the World in 80 Games by Marcus du Sautoy. Everyone should read mind-broadening, serious, challenging books, but don’t over-do it.
