Love & Whiskey: The Remarkable True Story of Jack Daniel, His Master Distiller Nearest Green, and the Improbable Rise of Uncle Nearest by Fawn Weaver
5.0
This read like an investigative article or podcast learning with the author along the way. Great story not only of Jack Daniels and Nearest Green but of Fawn Weaver the author too.

Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera

I might have rated this one five stars. I liked the podcast approach. But there were so many people sleeping with other people in a small town, just not an aspect of the story I liked. There are other ways to sprinkle in doubt.

I wanted to like this one more but the characters fell flat for me. I could not like or hate them.
