The Malt Whisky Murders

Bol

When a pair of dead bodies are discovered in their newly-purchased whisky distillery in Campbeltown, Eilidh and her wife, Morag, are plunged headlong a storm of murder, suspicion, intrigue and small town bureaucracy. This is a darkly comic crime debut for fans of Columbo, Midsummer Murders and John Dickson Carr. Whisky is a bloody business . . . 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. SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2025 BLOODY SCOTLAND DEBUT PRIZE LONGLISTED FOR THE ILP JOHN CREASEY FIRST NOVEL DAGGER
