A Pairing to Die For by Kate Lansing

Hello my cozy friends,

Today I am reviewing "A Pairing to Die For”  by Kate Lansing the second instalment in the  “Colorado Wine Mystery” series. 

A young winemaker is over a barrel when her new boyfriend is accused of murder in this delightful cozy mystery.

It's fall in Boulder, Colorado, and the leaves aren't the only things changing. Parker Valentine, owner of Vino Valentine, is finally settling in to her winery and her new relationship with Reid Wallace, a local chef. But their delicate pairing is endangered when Reid's estranged family comes into town to celebrate the opening of his new restaurant.

Reid and his family are immediately at loggerheads, given their often acidic temperaments, but Parker still wants to make a good first impression. However, her efforts might be in vain when Reid's sous chef is found dead in the alley behind the restaurant, and Reid is implicated in the murder. In order to save Reid, Parker will have to find the real killer, even if the truth is difficult to swallow. 

Recipes included.

I struggled sometimes with all the wine references, being a non drinker but over all I enjoy this series.  I found myself engrossed in the story and reading it in a few days. It was entertaining, full of twists and turns as well as a few surprises. 

I loved the characters which are well developed, especially Parker she makes a good protagonist.  The secondary characters Sage, Liam, even her mum were likeable as well.  I can’t wait to see what happens next with Parker and Reid.

 I recommend this book to all my cozy lover friends.

I requested and received an advance reader copy of this book from Berkeley Publishing  and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
