By Tessa Aura
When a 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, is caught 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.
