What this book is about
Hazel, Gemma James's close friend, visits the Scottish Highlands for a whisky festival and witnesses a murder — a man found dead in the distillery. Gemma travels north to support her friend, and Superintendent Kincaid follows. Deborah Crombie's ninth Kincaid/James novel takes the series to Scotland and uses the whisky industry and the Highland landscape to examine a murder that is rooted in old family history. The Scottish setting is developed with the same specificity Crombie brings to the English locations of earlier novels.
