Lansing, Kate. Killer Chardonnay. Berkley, 2020.
Killer Chardonnay centers during the grand opening of Vino Valentine Winery and the murder that takes place there. Parker Valentine tries to figure out who murdered the food critic who was poisoned at her establishment, while worrying that his death may have doomed her new business.
This was a very quick read! I loved the setting of Boulder, Colorado--most of the descriptions of places there were accurate! I looked them up! All of Parker Valentine's wines are named after places and streets in Boulder.
As Parker was trying to figure out who the murderer might be, I was stumped! There is a kind of love triangle between Parker, a handsome chef, and someone she knew from high school, who is now a detective. This detective is assigned to the murder, and the chef wants to feature Parker’s wines when he opens his restaurant.
As an added bonus, there are recipes and wine pairings in the back of the book. These are supposed to be the recipes that were served at a VIP Party that Parker hosted at her winery.
I am looking forward to the second book in this series. If you are in the mood for a cute, light mystery, and if you like wine, give this one a try! I recommend it for public libraries and give it four out of five fleur de lis!
