OK, this is a nearly textbook cozy - interesting characters, rich setting, wine trivia, solid plot. At times, however, it seems nearly frantic to dot every i and cross all the t's. Certainly worth reading, especially if you have an interest in wines and vineyards - it is a promising debut. You will have to suspend your disbelief that all the events in the book occurred in a three day period, though. ;)

Picture-perfect cozy mystery - almost too perfect. I didn't care for the plot too much, as the characters' actions were implausible and all were written incredibly flat. But, what can you expect from a cozy mystery?
The wine knowledge was extremely helpful and the recipes sounded absolutely delicious. Probably the information about wine, wine-making, and wine pairings are what drove me to finish the story. I'd recommend this to only the most die-hard cozy mystery fans who love wine.

Great new series based on wine and murder. If you love a female sleuth; you will love this book. It is fast pace with some great information on wines.
