Whiskey, Golf, and Sheep in Scotland
Anty is off to Scotland to be one of the judges in a once a decade contest to determine which of the two villages in the region gets to sell their whiskey under the official label. But he arrives to the news that one of the distillers has just blown himself up in his still. Naturally, this peaks Anty’s interest, and he starts investigating. Did the centuries old rivalry turn deadly? Does the world’s toughest golf course play a role? Can Anty investigate while being followed by an increasingly large flock of sheep?

This series is equal parts locked room mystery and laugh-out-loud comedy. Sometimes, the book can get too witty for its own good, but the balance is perfect here. I was confused by the case until Anty figured it out, but it made sense when he did. I thought I was going to struggle to keep the similar names straight, but I found I was able to follow all the key players just fine. And the wit and banter were clever and fun without being overdone. Plus, the absurd just added to the fun. These books work well as standalones. Don’t hesitate to pick up any book when you are in the mood for a funny mystery.
