About this eBook
A Napa Valley chef must uncover who eighty-sixed a vineyard heir in this cozy mystery series opener by the author of Death by the Glass.
Sunny McCoskey is the independent chef/owner of Wildside, a respected little cafe nestled in the heart of California’s wine country. When the heir apparent to a major vineyard is shot dead, and Sunny’s eccentric winemaker friend Wade is arrested for the murder, she sets out to prove his innocence. Her investigation takes her into the tangled politics and personalities of the wine industry, and to the treat posed to the valley by an insect, the glassy-winged sharpshooter.
Set in a region renowned for its food and wine, Sharpshooter launches an entertaining mystery series featuring Sunny and an engaging cast of wine professionals, cooks, socialites—and suspects.
