The Amber Trail

"The brewery is not what you think..." Dig Buckley is the dependable son, honest and hard-working. But after a tragic accident, he is unnerved by his dad's dying words. Without his father, it falls to Dig and his belligerent brother Jake to put aside their differences and get the successful family brewery running again-or their mother will be forced into bankruptcy and lose the family home. The Buckley Brewery makes Australia's most popular craft beer-but there's a catch. The recipe is based on a unique hop sourced from a secretive supplier in India. And when the supplier hears of Dig's father's death, they shut down deliveries and threaten to silence the family. Why is the mysterious group acting so aggressively? Was there a hidden side to their father's business? Is there another reason the beer is so popular? Dig is forced to travel to India to try to track the supplier down. He embarks on a challenging journey across the Indian countryside, unravelling a complicated history as he fights for his family and comes to terms with his father's death. --- With over 50 ratings in the opening weeks of publication, the Goodreads favourite is picking up momentum in 2016. "Very few books get a 5-star from me - actually, I don't review very many. I definitely do when they are GREAT and I loved this. Read all night until I finished & normally it takes me a few weeks to get through a book since I only read at night. Started this one & couldn't stop. Story, characters, twists and turns. Loved it !!" Pam, Amazon. "Absolute awesome read, great story line, could not put the book down, massive thumbs up, looking forward to reading more M.J.Kelly books..." David Masi, Goodreads. "Wasps and beers and...oh my! This is a book that is full of adventure, a couple of messed up families and a tear across India. A straight to the point book that I really enjoyed reading." David Richardson, Goodreads.
