Died in the Wool

A Whisky Business Mystery

By: Melinda Mullet

Narrated by: Gemma Dawson

No good deed goes unpunished in the Whisky Business cozy mystery series as distillery owner Abigail Logan uncovers dark secrets - and murder - at a local charity.

Photojournalist Abi Logan is finally ready to put her hectic career on hold and set down roots in the heart of the Scottish countryside. Studying the business and art of distilling whisky at Abbey Glen and volunteering at the Shepherd’s Rest women’s shelter in her spare time seem a surefire way to find the peace and stability she craves. It’s also the logical way to take her mind off her personal life. Abi’s business partner, Grant MacEwan, is facing a career-threatening disability, and as much as Abi longs to be there for him, he seems to prefer the company of a rival.

But as Abi becomes more involved with Shepherd’s Rest, she discovers that their refuge is elusive. When the shelter is rocked by a murder/suicide, Abi is outraged by the police’s lack of attention to these already marginalized women. Increasingly confident in her own skills as an investigator, Abi steps in to find out what the police will not: Who left one young woman dead and another missing. But when more deadly deeds come to light, Abi must race to unravel the connections between the shelter’s benefactors and the women they have pledged to protect - and expose the killer before he strikes again.

Characters & narration

Characters were well developed and thought through. You find yourself wanted to know what happens to them. Gemma did a great job narrating the book!

might become a whiskey drinker

loved the descriptions of Scotland and the making of whiskey told about in each of this series of books.

Excellent addition to the series

Melinda Mullet has crafted another excellent addition to the Whiskey Business series. The characters are well developed and seem mote like friends rather than characters in a book. Nice mystery with plenty of twists. Gemma Dawson gave a nice performance. I look forward to the next book.

loved it ❤️

I loved all the books in the Whiskey series 👍, just wish there were more

Less predictable

Any story that includes whiskey is a good story. The writing is good and the mysteries are less predictable than most.
