A Toast To Murder

Mystery Amateur Sleuth

Wedding bells are chiming for Nikki Sands and her beloved Derek Malveaux, and as with any wedding, time is growing short and there is much to do. In addition to helping Derek run their Malveaux Estate winery in Napa, California, Nikki must deal with a bevy of Derek's old college buddies and their wives, wedding guests who have shown up early to "help" the couple celebrate their big day. Frankly, Nikki could do with a little less "help."

From the start things seem to be going wrong -- a chewing gum accident causes Nikki to have her glorious long hair shorn and colored platinum-blonde; a couple of Derek's friends' wives seem intent on renewing old crushes; and if that wasn't bad enough, Derek's hateful stepmother has shown up and threatens to ruin everything. But Nikki really knows the wedding wasn't going well when her best friend and "man of honor," Simon, is shot as he escorts Nikki down the aisle. And when it become clear that Nikki was the intended target of the unknown shooter, a very hot-tempered Nikki sets out to find out who is trying to prevent her from marrying Derek. Hell hath no fury like a woman whose wedding is messed with!

In Michelle Scott's sixth book in her Wine Lover's Mystery series, A TOAST TO MURDER, she again brings her readers into the fascinating lives of the Malveaux family and the beautiful countryside where they run their winery. A delightful mystery, A TOAST TO MURDER is also filled with delicious recipes and in-depth information on some great sounding wines. A great summer read to be paired with a yummy glass of vino!
