Description
A man's body is discovered in a whisky ageing cask in the Gleneden Distillery in St Andrews, Scotland. DCI Andy Gilchrist and his partner, DS Jessie Janes, are assigned to investigate. The victim, Hector Dunmore, was reported missing 25 years earlier, and his body is found in a cask that has been ageing for nearly a quarter of a century. As the investigation unfolds, Gilchrist uncovers a complex web of secrets and lies that lead him to suspect that Dunmore's murder is linked to a double killing from 25 years earlier. Suspicion falls on Duncan Milne, the distillery manager at the time, but Gilchrist soon discovers that Milne died under suspicious circumstances. As Gilchrist digs deeper into the Dunmore family's past, he faces a formidable killer who will stop at nothing to keep the darkest secrets buried. With its gripping plot and complex characters, this book is a worthwhile read for fans of police procedurals. T.F. Muir's writing is praised for its ability to create a sense of tension and suspense, making this a gripping and unsettling read.
