This is a fun cozy with a well developed plot, interesting characters and an inside look at the whiskey industry in Scotland and beyond. Abi Logan has inherited the distillery Abbey Glen from her Uncle Ben and their whiskey has been nominated for the prestigious Golden Quaiches award. Abi and her business (and perhaps more) partner Grant go to the posh Eagles Lodge resort for the awards weekend. Abi meets some of the event judges and her fellow competitors and learns about the disagreement between some of them concerning whether whiskey from countries other than Scotland should be considered for the awards. One of the leading proponents of international competition, Sir richard Simpson is found dead, poisoned by nicotine in a bottle of whiskey by his bedside and when Abi's best friend Patrick was the last to leave his room and therefore a prime suspect, Abi gets involved in the investigation. The story flows at a steady pace,with plenty of twists and turns and plenty of suspects to keep you guessing. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
