Blurb:
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.

My Review:
Private Investigator Hattie Leiper, accompanied by Moose and her spirited Yorkie, Mini Pearl, uncovers an old handbag hidden behind the Leiper’s Fork Distillery during an outing with her close friend, Gracie, her boyfriend, Tim, and Detective Bo Beckett, who is also Hattie’s acquaintance. We must also mention Cecil, Hattie’s crime-attracting British Shorthair.
I adore it when the furry companions join Gracie; I love how she interacts with them, speaking to them as if she understands their conversations. That scene was my favorite.
After discovering the vintage purse, Hattie stumbles upon a skeleton in a barrel located in the distillery's back room. The remains belong to a woman named Quinn Bailey, who vanished two years prior.
While some believed Quinn left voluntarily, others speculated she had gone missing under mysterious circumstances. Hattie was puzzled about how Quinn ended up in a barrel, but it’s unlikely that she put herself there, right?
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Murder, Mistletoe & Spirits; it captivated me from the very first page and kept me hooked until the conclusion. I can’t get enough of these crime-solving pets. I eagerly anticipate the next installment in the Hattie and Moose Cozy Mystery series to discover what adventures await Moose, Mini Pearl, Cecil, Hattie, Bo, and Gracie.
The numerous twists and turns in Murder, Mistletoe & Spirits, along with Hattie’s charming furry friends, are what keep me returning for more.
As always, I wholeheartedly recommend picking up a copy of Murder, Mistletoe & Spirits today or any of the books in the Hattie and Moose Cozy Mystery series. If you enjoy cozy animal mysteries, you’re sure to relish any of Hattie and Moose’s tales.
