Award-winning photojournalist turned whisky distillery proprietress and amateur sleuth Abigail Logan returns in the charming follow-up to Single Malt Murder.
It’s been three months since Abi Logan last checked in on Abbey Glen, the celebrated whisky distillery she inherited. With her oversize wheaten terrier, Liam, by her side, Abi returns to the quaint Scottish village of Balfour. But her relaxing Highland homecoming takes a stressful turn when she unearths an unseemly bit of village history, welcomes a group of Japanese whisky enthusiasts, and becomes shepherdess to an unexpected flock of sheep—all within the first twenty-four hours. Still, nothing’s more stressful than murder. . . .

Local celebrity Rory Hendricks is the hotheaded, hard-rocking former frontman of the Rebels—and Abi’s girlhood crush. After meeting him in person, Abi can’t say no to anything he asks, like photographing his upcoming show . . . or figuring out who’s trying to kill him. Turns out someone’s been bumping off his old bandmates, with the drummer dead under mysterious circumstances and the keyboardist in a coma following a hit-and-run. Now a series of threatening messages leads Rory to think he’s next on the chopping block. And the band has a devil’s share of broken hearts and bitter disputes in their past, leaving Abi a huge batch of suspects to sift through—all before the killer takes another shot.

Abi is hoping to have a nice quiet break when she arrives back at Abbey Glen, but with a body being found under the foundations for an extension to the pub, her friend Patrick mentioning that he has arranged for some Japanese whisky lovers to have a tour (and can she let Grant know please!) and a retired Rock Star wanting her investigative Journalist skills to find out who is killing off the previous bank members, she has more than enough on her plate! (oh and she has taken on a small flock of sheep as well – to save them from being killed).  Everyone seems to be hiding something and Abi needs to find out if what they are hiding inpacts on what is going on or not – no stress there then!
