Blurb:
When renowned wine critic is poisoned at the annual Riley’s Harbour Wine Festival, Anya, the talented chef at La Cucina, suddenly finds herself embroiled in a chilling mystery.
Anya is no stranger to pairing wine with gourmet Italian dishes. But when a notorious critic drops dead in front of her tasting booth, she’s haunted by the dizzying tale of secrets and murder.
She’s a chef, not a sleuth, but when the charming detective, Ethan, asks her to use her wine expertise to assist in this chilling case, Anya can’t help but dive in deep. Afterall, murder spoils their idyllic Italian town like tainted wine.
Suspects range from Damiano, a slick talking wine merchant, to Antonio, the suspiciously suave sommelier. Even her life-long friend, Fabrizio, seems to be whispering with dangerous shadows.
Corky, her clue-digging beagle, suddenly sniffs out a telling wine bottle. With this revelation, Anya’s knowledge of a deadly scam in the wine world is enough to get a person killed.
She must uncork the truth and expose the culprit before the killer decides Anya is going to take her last sip.
My Review:
A renowned wine critic is poisoned at the annual Riley’s Harbour Wine Festival. The wine critic dies in front of Anya's tasting booth. Anya is asked by Sheriff Ethan to help with the investigation as she knows a lot about wine. Anya is happy to help the sheriff out. There are a few people on Anya’s suspect list.
Peril by Pinot is a short, sweet, and cozy read that will keep you hanging on page after page chopping at the bit as you follow Anya with her little dog Corky as they look into the murder of the wine critic. Peril by Pinot kept guessing as to who the murderer was. The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat as I tried to figure out who did it and why.
I can’t wait to read more in Tessa Aura’s Simply Scrumptious Cozy Culinary Mystery series. I recommend Peril by Pinot to all mystery and suspense fans! Grab your copy of Peril by Pinot today!
