Murder Uncorked

A Wine Lover's Mystery, Book 1

By: Michele Scott

Narrated by: Zoë Robinson

Nikki Sands was like every other aspiring actress - waiting tables between jobs. But Nikki had taken serving wines to heart. She knew enough to impress Napa Valley’s golden boy, Derek Malveaux, who offered her a job at his vineyard. And though Nikki may have left her dreams of stardom behind, the world of wine is ripe with intrigue - and the seeds of sleuthing are planted...

Nikki has just set foot on Napa Valley’s rich soil when she realizes her new job may not be as safe as she thought. First off, Derek Malveaux is disconcertingly sexy. Second, his top winemaker is dead in the bushes outside Nikki’s cottage. It doesn’t take a connoisseur of foul play to know something’s taken a terrible turn...

3 stars

Murder Uncorcked is entertaining and interesting but the story moves slowly. I like the premise of the book so I will get the next book in this series to see if it improves.

Wanting more!

Fun storyline and narrator absolutely on point! Action moves quickly, characters are interesting and believable. I'll be looking for more books from this author and especially more performances by Ms. Robinson. She was perfection.

sweet, cozy mystery

Fun little mystery to listen to on the beach. Great narration. I hear they are making it into a movie with Emma Roberts.

Idealistically romantic.

LOVED the wine lessons and recipes. Easy to picture yourself at the vineyards and being a part of the drama.
