Synopsis

Katie Stillwell focuses on two things in her life: work and practicing for her Sommelier Certification with her blind tasting group. The exam was supposed to be the hardest part of her week, but that was before a body was found at an exclusive Napa Valley winery party.

When all the evidence points to Katie’s best friend, the outspoken and independent Tessa, Katie drops everything to clear Tessa’s name. Using her deductive wine skills, she tries to track down the real killer. But when repeated attempts are made on her life, Katie discovers that everyone’s secrets must be uncorked―including her own.

My Review

An intriguing mystery that takes place in the Napa Valley in the wonderful world of wine.

Katie Stillwell hopes to become a sommelier very soon. Her friend Tessa invites her to a party in the winery where she works. Unfortunately the party ends badly: the owner is found drowned in a fermentation tank. He was hit with a corkscrew that belongs to Tessa. She soon became one of the main indicted and Katie will have to investigate to save her friend from a false accusation.

The writing is smooth, and the pages fly by effortlessly. The storyline is intriguing and full of surprises and twists, that will keep you guessing until the end. All the characters were interesting. I really loved Katie. I thought she was such a great character! She is loyal, smart, courageous with a strong sense of justice.

This was a fun and enjoyable read.
