Murder, Mistletoe & Spirits (Hattie and Moose)

When a holiday outing at Leiper’s Fork Distillery turns deadly, PI Hattie Leiper finds herself trading bourbon tastings for a chilling mystery steeped in secrets and sealed in Tennessee oak.

The shock begins when Moose, her grumpy Chow Chow with impeccable instincts, digs up a buried satchel. Guided by Moose and feisty Yorkie, Mini Pearl, Hattie uncovers a long-forgotten barrel in the rickhouse—proof the missing employee never walked away.

With her crime-magnet British Shorthair, Cecil, bestie at her side, and the steady support of Detective Bo Beckett, Hattie is pulled into a tangled web of rivalry, regret, and holiday whispers no amount of mistletoe can sweeten.

Everyone at the distillery either cherished the victim—or had a reason to silence Quinn. As twinkle lights glow and secrets ferment, Hattie must separate love from jealousy and loyalty from lies…before the killer bottles up their final secret forever.
