Since I don’t drink wine, I almost passed on this debut, but I’m glad I picked it up. In order to save her dream, she has to find the killer. Everyone is blaming Parker for the crime, and no one is coming to her store for fear they will be next. After sampling her chardonnay, Gaskel dies, and the police are quick to label it poison. He is notoriously hard to please, and his blog can make or break local restaurants. However, her joy turns to worry when renowned local food and wine blogger Gaskel Brown shows up. Parker Valentine’s dream is coming true today with the opening of Vino Valentine in her hometown of Boulder, Colorado. Highly recommended!ĭisclosure: I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. KILLER CHARDONNAY is a fresh and modern cozy mystery that will appeal to foodies and wine lovers. Parker is a clever and determined amateur sleuth, and I enjoyed the intriguing mystery she was faced with solving. Parker and the supporting cast of characters were well-developed and relatable, and their interpersonal challenges added to the enjoyment of the story. The rich descriptions of gourmet food and wine were delightful. This is the first cozy mystery I've read that centers around a winery, and it was a lovely change of pace. Of course Parker is horrified that this means the end of all her hard work, unless she can prove that her wine had nothing to do with his death. The opening day of Vino Valentine turns into a disaster for owner Parker Valentine when a local wine & food critic dies after sampling her chardonnay. (4.5 Stars) KILLER CHARDONNAY is a smart and juicy beginning to the Colorado Wine Mystery series set in downtown Boulder.
