Noelle Knight has survived treasure hunters, an assassin in a cave, and a murderer who stayed one step ahead. Meeting her newfound cousin should be easy. Right?
When Noelle’s Chilean cousin Sofía arrives in Mermaid Bay with a rare Chardonnay and a centuries-old tapestry, Noelle may finally have the missing half of her family'''s greatest mystery.
Naturally, Shenise turns Sofía’s visit into an international wine tasting at The Grape Escape—complete with a world-famous illusionist and a spectacular vanishing act featuring the mysterious tapestry.
The trick works a little too well.
The tapestry disappears for real. Then the illusionist vanishes, too.
When he is found dead behind the wine barrels, Noelle'''s shop becomes a murder scene, everyone holding a wineglass becomes a suspect, and she is left with only half a clue.
Between Wine Down Wednesdays, brunch-table theories at the Butter Cream Café, and a Vampire Diaries marathon that hits a little too close to home, Noelle follows a trail of sleight of hand, silk threads, and stolen secrets.
But the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous the final reveal becomes.
Pour yourself a glass and join Noelle, Finn, Cabby, and the entire Mermaid Bay crew in a mystery where nothing is quite what it seems…and some family secrets may be better left buried.
Order Book 12, The Chardonnay Charade, and help Noelle uncover the truth.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
