The poisoning of a Napa Valley bride has oenophile Nikki Sands researching what may have been a killer bottle of wine.

Customer Review: Great Heroine

Nikki Sands is a great heroine who makes the mix of mystery and wine a winner. This series is loaded with good old fashioned who dunnit plotlines, a quirky character, a nice blend of romance and the wine info, which isn't overbearing or pretentious makes this the kind of book I like to read.

In this second installment of the wine lover's mysteries, Nikki has been invited by her boss who she has a crush on to the wedding of the year. She's walking on air until the obnoxious bride winds up dead in the dressing room. Suspects are plenty but the police zero in on Nikki's friend Isabel. Nikki makes it her plight to set Isabel free and prove her innocence. She does so with help of Isabel's brother Andres, which makes for a wonderful love triangle between Nikki, Derek and Andres.

The author surprised me with who the killer turned out to be, and I found myself having a good laugh throughout the book, which has subtle comedy throughout.

Pick up this series and start reading. You won't be dissapointed.

Customer Review: Wine has turned

Nikki Sands works at a Napa Valley winery and spends her off time solving mysteries. When her best friend, Isabel, is accused of murdering her former lovers bride, Nikki begins looking for the real murderer. I was looking forward to reading an interesting mystery set in Northern California wine country. What I found was a disappointment. The characters were not fully developed, more like stick figures. The heroine/detective is a 35 year old that doesn't know what she wants to do, just as the book doesn't know whether it is a mystery or romance. And it can't be deemed a romantic suspense.
