Smoked by Scotch. Bohemia Bartenders Mysteries, #8

Hijinks in the heather... Mixologist Pepper Revelle is excited about the latest Bohemia Bartenders gig, but she's even more thrilled about where it is-Scotland! She and fellow bartender Neil are finally a thing, they and their friends (and frenemies) are traveling in style, and making cocktails for an iconoclastic scotch distiller's big launch is the glitzy garnish.  Bonus: She gets to work with the sizzling hot Scottish celebrity and TV star who's the front man for the brand-at least until a shocking incident puts her on alert that there's trouble under all that plaid.
Could their adorable spokesman's stalkers have leveled up to violence?  The team's job gets thornier than a thistle when they realize the Bartenders' clients have a lot more enemies than they've let on. From the enchanting streets of Edinburgh to the mystical vistas of the Orkney Islands, Pepper finds so many suspects, she's starting to wish a stone circle would whisk her back to Bohemia. As tensions mount, who will get kilt next? And can Pepper and her friends figure out the mystery before they're burned like a chunk of Scottish peat?  Smoked by Scotch is the eighth book in the Bohemia Bartenders Mysteries, funny whodunits with a dash of romance set in a convivial collective of cocktail lovers, eccentrics and mixologists.
These quasi-cozy culinary comedies contain a hint of heat, a splash of cursing and shots of laughter, served over hand-carved ice.
