As some of you know, I fell completely in love and over heels with cozy mystery's this year. I don't know exactly what it is, but there's just something about unraveling a unique and twisting puzzle and figuring out who-done-it that appeals to me, but it does. So, I've decided to dedicate Monday's to "Cozy Mystery's."

The first book(s) I'll share with you are the Wine Lover's Mystery's by Michele Scott. I was first introduced to this author through a Romance Diva's workshop this past summer. The first book in the series is Murder Uncorked and it introduces amateur sleuth, Nikki Sands. Here's the back cover blurb

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....

Doesn't that sound like a fabulous read? And believe me, it is. I could barely put this book down when I read it this summer. It's full of recipes and wine pairings, stuff I had no clue about, but was interesting to read about. The book itself gives you the romance you're looking for, and the twists and turns I love to figure out who killed the winemaker.

So, if you like a good mystery, check it out. The second book in the series is called Murder by the Glass, and the third in the series, Silenced by Syrah will be out in March. I personally, can't wait to pick it up. You can visit her website here to read more about her and her books.
