If you like drinking wine but know nothing about it (like this reviewer), this is an enjoyable way to start educating yourself. This engaging cozy even features some tasty recipes plus wines that complement them inter-leafed between the murders and intrigue to start you off. Having the tale narrated in the third person is a good idea with this type of book, I always think, as it brings the reader closer to the puzzle whodunit and distances them a little from the main character. Nikki is a reasonably sympathetic protagonist who doesn't have everything going for her (unlike some cozy heroines). She takes risks, but not too many, enjoying the role of sleuth, but making time to enjoy other things as well. It is a fairly teasing plot, with some local color to enjoy, and a cast of ghastly family members to shudder at. I'd read the others in the series when they come out.
