"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...
