Even Tricia's faith in the old man is shaken when the Stoneham police break the news that her father is a known con man who has done jail time. <p/>But what about bestselling thriller author Steven Richardson? Is it a coincidence that he arrived for a book signing just before the crime or that the victim was found with a signed copy of his latest bestseller? <p/>From merlot to murder, Tricia is determined to clear the family name before another body shows up and ruins Stoneham's first--and highly anticipated--wine and jazz festival. <p/><b>INCLUDES RECIPES</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for the <i>New York Times</i> Bestselling Booktown Mysteries<br></b><br>"Diverting entertainment...An engaging story line, an intrepid heroine...Good for lovers of intrigue."--<i>Richmond Times-Dispatch</i> <p/>"Lorna Barrett never fails to offer a suspenseful cozy mystery...Entertaining, highly enjoyable."--Cozy Mystery Book Reviews <p/>"Fans of Carolyn Hart and Denise Swanson, rejoice!...This first-rate cozy artfully blends crime, cuisine, and even bookselling in a cheerful, witty, well-plotted puzzler."--Julia Spencer-Fleming, <i> New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Through the Evil Days</i> <p/>"A mystery bookstore in a sleepy New England town, a cat named Miss Marple, a nasty murder, and a determined heroine...Delightful...Everything a cozy lover could want and more.
