The Malt Whisky Murders | Natalie Jayne Clark

The Malt Whisky Murders by Natalie Jayne Clark is an original English-language whisky thriller full of dark humour, Scottish atmosphere and classic detective appeal. The story is set on the Kintyre peninsula, where Eilidh and her wife Morag buy a derelict distillery with an ambitious plan: to establish Scotland’s first fully women-run whisky distillery.

Their dream soon takes a macabre turn. In an old maturation warehouse, they make a chilling discovery: two perfectly preserved bodies hidden in casks of single malt. As the secrets begin to surface, Eilidh must not only unravel a murder mystery, but also deal with interfering villagers, an intrusive TV crew, whisky tastings, protests and traditional ceilidhs.

Campbeltown provides the perfect setting for this atmospheric crime novel. Whisky, community, old stories and hidden tensions all mix in a place where the past is never far away. The result is a suspenseful, witty and characterful cosy crime with a distinctive whisky twist.

The Malt Whisky Murders is ideal for readers who enjoy classic detective stories, Scottish mystery, distilleries, strong female leads and LGBTQ+ representation. A highly entertaining whisky book for anyone who wants a good story set in the world of single malt.
