Something sinister is brewing for beer connoisseur and amateur sleuth Sloan Kraus--the first in Ellie Alexander's new series!
The Bavarian-themed town of Leavenworth, Washington, is home to the Krause family's cheery, generational brewhaus. Sloan Krause, gifted with a nose for hops and a talent for concocting delicious microbrews, has big plans to expand her in-laws' old-school business by creating original, handcrafted German beers. . .until she sniffs out what's going on between her husband, Mac, and one of his barmaids. Fortunately, Beervaria's hip new microbrewery, Nitro, is about to launch--and owner Garrett Strong hires Sloan on the spot to craft Northwest-inspired ales, whip up a tasty bar menu, and promote his buzz-worthy Pucker Up IPA. It's a win-win for Sloan, who can't help but enjoy Mac's envy at their success. But when Mac is arrested after one of Nitro's competitors is found dead in a fermenting tank, clutching Garrett's secret IPA recipe, Sloan is on the case to exonerate her cheating ex…and uncover who spilled over into murder.
