Summary
Infused with love, addiction and free-pouring measures of single malt, The Mash House is perfect for fans of Fargo and The Godfather.
Cullrothes, in the Scottish Highlands, where Innes hides a terrible secret from his girlfriend, Alice, a gorgeous, cheating, lying schoolteacher. In the same village, Donald is the aggressive distillery owner, who floods the country with narcotics alongside his single malt; when his son goes missing, he becomes haunted by an anonymous American investor intent on purchasing the Cullrothes Distillery by any means necessary. Schoolgirl Jessie is trying to get the grades to escape to the mainland, while Grandpa counts the days left in his life.
This is a place where mountains are immense and the loch freezes in winter. A place with only one road in and out. With long storms and furious midges and a terrible phone signal. The police are compromised, the journalists are scum and the innocent folk of Cullrothes tangle themselves in a fermenting barrel of suspicion, malice and lies.
The Mash House uses multiple narratives to weave together the parallel lives of individuals in the village. Each fractured by the fears and uncertainty in their own minds.

Such a shame.
Massive let down. Very disorganised. Chunks just went missing. The end was a shambles.
Some things happened but seemed to get lost never to be mentioned again.

Excellent
I really enjoyed this book, a story of peoples lives around a loch in Scotland. Apart from 2 of the main characters they are awful people whose deceitful actions keep you wanting more.
The narration by Angus King is superb. Reading peoples reviews on how this book is difficult to read because of the lack of speech marks I can only say listen to the audible version…..it will keep you gripped.

Enjoyed, but...
I found this read to be quite disjointed, and large gaps were left in the storyline which left me a little frustrated. I felt as though the ending was rushed, and could have done with a few more chapters to 'round things off'. However, the narration by Angus King is faultless.

Bizarre but worth a listen
I couldn’t work out whether this story was meant to be taken seriously or was a black comedy. Just a couple of sympathetic characters while the rest were either awful, weird or both. Angus King does his usual excellent narration but uses the same voices as for the Jack Logan series which I found a bit confusing!
It’s “different”!!

Stories of different lives which come together
I liked the book. Although it is not very sophisticated in binding all the characters and their actions together, I liked the way the life of different characters is shown.

Well defined believable characters
A glimpse into the challenging lives in a small town. Character driven with several lines of story telling running along side each other.

Different interactions between characters
The accent of the narrator was consistently easy on the ear. The description of the relationship between a teenager and her grandfather was endearing, as interactions between other characters a little strange, but convincing. However the story ended abruptly with unfinished and unsatisfactory conclusions.

Still unsure what the plot was...
The overall plot was really messy, unclear and pretty pointless. I've now finished it, after going over some of the chapters multiple times, and still can not form logical links between the characters other than they live in the same town.
The only reason I kept going is that I love Angus King's performances. Sadly, this book was not for me.
