There are some great clues and twists along the way. I didn't realize some of the restrictions that pubs or breweries have to follow. :) I liked the fact that the author didn't just include information on making the beer, but also details about regulations and restrictions on breweries and establishments that serve alcohol. Just the implication of a 2/3 naked husband and lots of great beer. The book is still a cozy though.there is no spurting blood and no cursing. Sloane is a tough, intelligent woman.and cutesie just wouldn't be her style. This start to a new series is a cozy with a bit more bite to it.this isn't themed around a cute dog or cat, or knitting, but brewing beer and philandering husbands. Although there are lots of details about brewing, the background theme didn't overpower the added to it. The book contains many details about brewing, different types of beer, and the ingredients required for a quality beer. This book is a great start to a new series, Sloane Krause Mysteries.
