Review
SINGLE MALT MURDER by Melinda Mullet
The First Whisky Business Mystery
Raised by her Uncle Ben after her parents died in a tragic accident,
Abigail Logan is a world-renowned photojournalist. After getting word
that her uncle has taken a turn for the worse, Abi leaves her assignment
in Sierra Leone, but returns home too late. Her uncle has died of
cancer. Along with her best friend, Patrick, Abi heads to Scotland for
the funeral and to see Abbey Glen, the distillery she's inherited. But
before she can even cross the border, she begins to receive threatening
misogynistic messages. Someone does not want a woman running a
distillery. Upon her arrival at the well respected Scottish boutique
distillery Abi is met with ill concealed disdain. The threatening
messages continue and Abi also learns that Abbey Glen has been dealing
with sabotage. The night after Ben's funeral Abi and Patrick discover
the body of a young employee. Was he the victim of sabotage, or was it
murder?
SINGLE MALT MURDER is a traditional mystery with more adult themes and a darker ambiance. It's a novel about trust. Are the employees of Abbey Glen faithful to the distillery, or are they working against Abi? Could a potential buyer be behind the sabotage and threats? What about the villagers? Can Abi trust herself? Compelling, complex characters inhabit this world throwing suspicion in all directions.
Melinda Mullet chose a unique and fascinating setting and topic for her mystery series. While I'm not a fan of Scotch, I do like whisky and enjoyed learning more about distilleries, their history, and the hobby of collecting the spirit. This first Whisky Business mystery is an absorbing read that gives a satisfying conclusion yet leaves plenty of avenues to explore in future Whisky Business books.
