Died in the Wool

by Melinda Mullet

I have reviewed several books in the Whiskey Business series and enjoyed them all.  Died in the Wool is the best by far.  Mullet’s plots get more intricate and in depth as she adds to the series.  In this fourth offering, photojournalist turned distiller, Abi Logan has been approached to help a women’s shelter by donating wool from her sheep rescue. (Don’t ask just read.) She likes the women of the shelter and when one of them ends up dead, she can’t resist the pleas for help from a board member.  This storyline has so many plotlines it seems Mullet can’t possibly tie them up nicely, but she does.  It’s evenly paced, and the characters are all fully detailed.  As with all cozies, there are threads from previous books, but it’s not necessary to have read them.  However, I believe it will be enough to have readers want to go back and start from the beginning just to enjoy the entire adventures of Abi. 

 I thank the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me access to the electronic Advanced Reader’s Copy for my honest review.
