The Chianti Case

Florence’s famous wine windows have passed glasses through stone walls for centuries. This time, a woman is dead from poisoning. The victim is Kiara’s ex-stepmother, the bar belongs to Kiara’s Italian boyfriend, and the police decide they have their suspect almost immediately.

Emma King is half English, half French, and one hundred percent disorganized. She came to Italy to buy Chianti Classico for the family business, not to clear her friend’s name. But the flirty inspector seems more interested in quoting Shakespeare than looking past the obvious, and the victim left no shortage of people with reasons to want her gone.

With old friends Paddy and Nico at her side, Emma starts asking the questions the police won’t. As she follows the clues, every answer seems to raise another question—and she’ll need to clear this case before she and her friends end up corked.

For readers who love armchair travel and a whodunit solved among friends. The Chianti Case is book two in The Vineyard Mysteries and can be enjoyed on its own.
