After being hounded by Detective Wolfe for almost a year, Eli left his law firm and Boston for Bluff House and the small-town peacefulness of Whiskey Beach, where his family had lived since the 18th century. However, someone broke into Bluff House, attacked Eli’s friend, Abra Walsh, and excavated a trench in the basement. Was the intruder looking for Esmeralda’s Dowry? After PI Duncan was shot and tossed over the cliff onto Whiskey Beach, Detective Wolfe returned to accuse Eli of a second murder.
Eli Landon’s family has owned Landon Whiskey and the Bluff House in Whiskey Beach for centuries. When rum was in short supply during the Revolutionary War, they sold whiskey to General Washington. They built the first school, the first indoor plumbing, and the first home with electricity. “They’d weathered Prohibition, cagily running whiskey, supplying speakeasies and private customers.”
In addition to the two murders, the intruder pushed Eli’s grandmother down the stairs and left her for dead. Eli's number one suspect is Justin Suskind. He was having an affair with Eli’s wife. Eli’s wife, Lindsay, was good friends with Justin’s wife, Eden. The only problem is that Eden provides an alibi for Justin, and she maintained her alibi even after she found out that Justin was cheating on her.
The book is a fast read with many extra words that were easily skimmed over. On the other hand, it was over 750 pages and with few plot surprises.
