A well-written and fast paced whodunit that I could not put down, quickly becoming a page-turner as I had to know the outcome. The mystery was nicely executed with enough suspects to keep me looking at their motives. The clues helped to narrow the list of suspects with a few red herrings that kept me in the game. I enjoyed the camaraderie between this friendly and personable cast of characters and the engaging dialogue, humor included, that added to the clue-gathering process. With visually descriptive narrative, the author made me feel like I was part of the action, working alongside Hattie and friends as they try to find the person responsible for the murder. Overall, this was a fun book to read.

A fun new cozy mystery series that capitalizes on the current trend of craft beverages. A family that has a long history of moonshine is the perfect reason to open up a new 'shine tasting room, and once you throw in a little murder the story picks right up. Fun supporting characters add to the charm of this story. A good read, and I look forward to seeing more.
