T
he irritable and irritating chef, Otto Messinger, is found face down in a wine fermenting tank. Things go quickly from bad to worse when Sabrina is suspected of the foul deed. Sabrina and her husband Mark are the new managers of this California vineyard and the dinner was to have put them on the map ... not in jail.

his engaging cozy moves at a good pace with very likable characters. Aunt Mary is particularly endearing with her odd choice of clothing.

And Murder for Dessert
is a fun book.
