Okay, I have one request.  Could someone please put a warning on the front cover stating that you will be craving food and wine after reading MURDER UNCORKED.  I'm starved!

Nikki Sands found little success in the short-lived television show in which she played Detective Sydney Martini.  When she loses her waitressing job to a fussy bimbo, Nikki realizes this is her chance to start anew.  Little does she know, her golden opportunity is awaiting just around the corner.

Derek Malveaux owns Malveaux Estates, a winery.  He also happens to be the bimbo's date.  Derek feels horrible for his date's behavior, so he follows Nikki and offers to take her to dinner.  There he puts her wine know-how to the test and offers her a job as Malveaux Estates' sales manager.

Nikki's dreams are coming true.  Just in time for her to find the winery's award-winning winemaker's body outside her new home.

MURDER UNCORKED is a fascinating opening to the Wine Lover's Mystery series.  Not only do you get a solid mystery, but you also get recipes and wine suggestions.  If you pay close attention, you'll learn quite a bit about wine--both drinking and making.  I'm thoroughly hooked and want more.  The recipes turn the addicting mystery into a sensory experience that readers will not soon forget.
