Part mystery, part romance with some historical fiction thrown in, this story follows the investigation of what might be a found trove of missing whiskey. This jumps between present day and 1920s, which I was not expecting at first. It felt a bit disjointed for me but others may like this narrative structure.

Emily, a whisky Authenticator is asked to visit a property in Montana where a stash of prohibition era alcohol has been found. It couldn’t be the legendary lost Whiting Whisky could it? If it is how did it end up in Montana?

The narrative moves between modern day and the 1920s. I really liked the premise, part mystery, part romance. But there is something rushed about the story, it jumps quickly from one thing to the next and nothing is given time to settle. When I started it went straight in and I had to check I’d not missed a page or prologue. I much preferred the story when we time shifted to the 1920s. It was better paced and much more an interesting story. Overall I did enjoy this book.

Wonderful book. Very interesting and kept my interest from the first page. Fast passed and good read. Will definitely read this writer again.
