The Brewery Murders (A Yorkshire Murder Mystery Book 9)
£4.30
An award-winning beer worth killing for. Can DCI Oldroyd find the killer before last orders?
Steeped in a history of award-winning Yorkshire ale, the town of Markham boasts not one but two breweries. Richard Foster runs one; his sister, Emily, along with her partner, Janice, runs the other. And not without some resentment.
The unwelcome return of the town’s former bad boy, Brendan Scholes, threatens to ignite the sibling rivalry further. Scholes claims to have found the long-lost secret recipe to the beer that made Richard and Emily’s father famous, and he wants money.
But it isn’t long before Scholes’ body is found floating in a fermentation tank at one of the breweries, his head caved in by a hammer. DCI Oldroyd and Andy Carter are called in to investigate the murder, and there’s no shortage of suspects.
As rumours of the possible existence of a recipe for the famous beer spread against a backdrop of growing homophobia and misogyny, tempers run high. With Markham’s beer industry at stake, a killer on the loose and the town’s residents out for blood, Oldroyd needs to solve the murder before someone else is killed…

I enjoyed this book but did not think it was up to the authors usual standards. There was a lot of parts of the book that note no relevance to the actual case. Also the solving on the case was down to kick rather than detection.
by Waldorf
This latest book in the series has a strong plot, with the usual background of the Yorkshire Dales as a scenic setting. There are many twists and turns on the way to unveiling the surprise culprit.
For me, the story was spoilt somewhat by the repeated moral issues running it, nevertheless a very good read.

Another good read in the Yorkshire Murder series. I guessed the ending so that is why I have given it 4 stars .good story with secondary themes relevant to the story
Not my favourite but still a good read

A very enjoyable read with, for a Yorkshireman now living in Scotland, a mouth-watering cataogue of Yorkshire beers and place names! Hoping it’s not too long a wait until the next one.

by Michael Allison
I am a devoted of Black Sheep bitter, even though I am not a Yorkshire man, and have to buy supplies in bottles! However, I feel that a glass by my side while reading this story was the only thing missing! Almost believable, a story of how greed can corrupt even normal lives.

A very enjoyable read, though the “ twist” in the plot seems a little far fetched. It’s also very focussed on equal opportunities at work!
