I liked this book. Nancy Parra has a writing style I enjoy and the subject matter was quite timely with the disclosure of the Equifax mess last week. I would warn readers that Taylor is one of those cozy heroines who doesn't listen to her lawyer and the extent she goes to in her investigation gets close to being head knocking extreme, but didn't cross the line for me.

There seem to be two prospective love interests developing, but it's just hinted at. Please, please don't let this become another cozy series with a love triangle.

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

The identity theft story in this book was very timely considering the Equifax mess that's currently going on. It was neat to read a different angle I that hasn't berrn done a million times. I found the main character doing a lot of dumb stuff, some of which was understandable, but it was an enjoyable story nonetheless. Looking forward to more adventures with Taylor and the gang!

I usually don't follow wine country series, but this one peaked my curiosity and I'm glad I had the chance to read it given the likable, believable characters and the twists in the story, this series will be on my to follow list.

This first offering in Nancy J. Parra's Wine County Mystery series kept me guessing until the very end. There was a constant and underlying tension as Taylor O'Brian worked to clear her name and solve the murder of a tour member in her new venture of Wine Country Tours. The characters were likeable, although at times were foolish in their involvement in investigating murders. There is much promise for future offerings in the series and I look forward to them.

I am always on the lookout for a new cozy mystery series and this one hit the spot! The author did a fantastic job at bringing these characters to life while also adding a great mystery that was hard to figure out! When I read a book like this, I want to be a sleuth too, and that's exactly what Nancy did for me. I can't wait for the next installment!

Imaginative new cozy series

Nancy J. Parra did an excellent job of setting down a hood foundation for this new series.
Taylor is a believable main character and the cast of family and friends enhanced the story. The mystery has a lot of twists and turns in finding the murderer.
I received an advance reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

This was a really fun start to a new series! I loved the characters and the setting and I felt that the mystery was very well done with a lot of good deflections and twists. I'm looking forward to reading book two.
