Bourbon Tour Mystery is a two-book cozy mystery series by Mary Ellis set in Kentucky bourbon country. 100 Proof Murder and One for the Road, both published in 2021, use the bourbon industry as the setting for murder and investigation. The series follows characters connected to the distillery world as they uncover crimes hidden beneath the surface of a famously hospitable industry.
The bourbon setting gives these mysteries a distinct regional identity. Ellis draws on the culture of Kentucky whiskey making, with its traditions, rivalries, and tourism industry, to create stories where the setting is as flavorful as the drink.
