A Whisky in Monsterville - Tom Morton

"It's got everything a pop-lit novel for guys needs...sex, guns, black humour, Scotland, religious fanatics, mercenaries, drinking...It even comes with recommended drams and tasting notes for each chapter." Whisky Magazine
"Tom modestly says the simultaneous consumption of whisky is not essential to enjoying the book, 'but it probably helps.' If only religions had thought up such a wheeze, our churches might not be so empty." Ken Smith's Herald Diary
"Each chapter highlights a particular whisky, and if you read the whole book in one sitting I confidently predict irreparable damage to your liver." Alan Taylor, Sunday Herald
"A Whisky in Monsterville. How does it rate. Highly, I think. Unlike many of those who tread the best seller trail, Tom Morton is genuinely erudite, with an enviable breadth of knowledge covering music, literature, and a lot more of what makes life worth living so all sorts of stuff crops up to lighten and enliven the narrative. That narrative carries you professionally along. But meanwhile the book holds you in a way most in the genre don't, through well drawn characters, humour, and yes, erudition." The Shetland Times
It's a monster of a thriller. A black farce. An immersion in the dark waters and mysteries of Loch Ness. And the world's first interactive malt whisky novel!
A Whisky in Monsterville: It's the tail end of the Loch Ness tourist season. And monstrous things are happening in the Highlands of Scotland. But no-one expects a series of horrific ritual murders. Certainly not retired marine Murricane, whose idyllic fishing-and-drinking existence on the loch is rudely interrupted. By a burnt and mutilated body.
Druids, lost hippies, obsessive foodies, heavily armed fundamentalist Christians, whisky experts and monster hunters. The glens and woodlands around Loch Ness shelter a bizarre cast of characters.
And they're being murdered in the most horrendous ways.
As his own murky past comes back to haunt him, can Murricane, continually distracted by gourmet cooking and obscure malt whiskies, stop the killing?
It's a dram good read - funny, frightening and full of Highland character. And you can sip a different whisky along with each chapter. if you dare...
