Business Mysteries
Book 1:
Book 1: Abigail Logan is the first to admit that what she knows about running a whisky distillery would fit into a shot glass with room to spare. But when she inherits a boutique distillery in rural Scotland, and one of her employees is found murdered and floating face down in a vat of the distillery’s finest, Abi vows to find out why. But distilling truth from lies can be tricky especially when everyone around you seems to have something to hide.
Book 2: A whisky smuggler’s bones at the pub, an aging rock-and-roller hiding from his sordid past in the misty hills above Abbey Glen, and an ominous message: “Death Awaits”… just another day in the life of distillery owner Abi Logan.
Book 3: Abi Logan is excited to start the new year at a five-star resort in the Scottish countryside, participating in a prestigious whisky competition. Four glorious days of gourmet food and whisky combined with three nominations for Abbey Glen’s hand-crafted single malt – what could possibly go wrong? But soon two dead judges and one elusive killer turn Abi’s decadent weekend of spirited competition deadly, and she must face off against an unseen foe in a countdown to murder.
Book 4: Abi Logan has settled into life as a distiller, even managing to find some spare time to work with a local women’s shelter. But with Abi’s track record she’s not surprised to find herself knee-deep in the investigation into a murder-suicide involving a group of marginalized women who are being abused by their supposed protectors. When one of the women she’s working with is kidnapped, Abi must race to unravel the truth before it’s too late.
