Publisher's Summary
DCI Jim Daley is sent from the city to investigate a murder after the body of a woman is washed up on an idyllic beach on the West Coast of Scotland. Far away from urban resources, he finds himself a stranger in a close-knit community.
Love, betrayal, fear and death stalk the small town, as Daley investigates a case that becomes more deadly than he could possibly imagine, in this compelling Scottish crime novel infused with intrigue and dark humour.
Denzil Meyrick was born in Glasgow and brought up in Campbeltown. After studying politics, he pursued a varied career including time spent as a police officer, freelance journalist, and director of several companies.
Beginning with Whisky from Small Glasses, The Last Witness and Dark Suits and Sad Songs, the DCI Daley series have all become Scottish Crime best sellers, with all three entering the Kindle top 10.
Whisky from Small Glasses reached number two in the store in the summer of 2015.

A thoroughly entertaining read. A bit graphic for some l suspect, but riveting, intertwined story lines and characters. Good stuff!

Enjoyable
When the body of a young woman is washed up on an idyllic beach on the west coast of Scotland, D.C.I. Jim Daley is despatched from Glasgow to lead the investigation. Great setting and characters but at times a little predictable. Over all a good listen.

Not bad for the first in a series
This is not a bad effort for the first book in a series. It feels a bit like the pilot of a TV series, with some of the exposition being a little forced and clunky, and the characters and setting haven't yet settled in the author's mind as yet. I didn't find the murder mystery very gripping and I haven't yet "discovered" what makes Daley unique and interesting as a protagonist, but I'll give another one in the series a go.
The performance is good, bringing some characters to life, but hasn't quite found Daley's "voice" yet either. Again, for a first outing it's not bad.

A riveting Scottish mystery but not perfect
I loved the characters and the narration but somehow tying the ends together at the end went wrong and lacked credibility/appropriate explanation. This is always a disappointment and happens when the author tries to drag out the suspense or tries to be just too clever. The latter seems to be the problem here. I won't be a spoiler and explain what and why, because it is a small glitch that might well be overlooked by a more casual reader. It was still a great read and I am keen to begin Book Number 2.
On that note, it is a shame that Audible reviews from subscribers are not recognised as "verified purchasers" for reviews on Amazon when more of us are turning to listening rather than reading the printed page as we spend so much time driving. The narrator is just as important as the author in this medium.

Good book
Took a bit to get used to the pace - a bit slow and chatty at first. After a while you become invested and overall I enjoyed it. Will be downloading the next in the series.

Excellent
An interesting story, developed characters, and an enjoyable atmosphere. Denzil Meyrick has gained another fan! David Monteith narrates superbly!
