The Chianti Case

Tuscany’s vineyards promised fine wine—until Emma uncorked a murder.

Emma King is half English, half French and one hundred percent disorganised. As the head wine buyer for her family’s business, she has a keen palate, generous heart and a fiercely loyal nature. Still getting used to her new company role, she joins her old friends Paddy, Kiara and Nico, who are also in Italy to buy the famous Chianti Classico.

When Kiara’s ex-stepmother is poisoned after buying a glass of wine from one of Florence’s famous wine windows, in a bar owned by Kiara’s Italian boyfriend, Kiara becomes the prime suspect. Emma is determined to show the police they have the wrong woman. There are many suspects with strong motives, and she enlists her friends’ help. But the flirty inspector seems more interested in quoting Shakespeare and quickly closing the case than investigating.

More frustrating, the deeper Emma digs, the murkier the facts become. Can she clarify this case before she and her friends end up corked?

Sharp, suspenseful, and impossible to put down, this second installment delivers murder, intrigue, and a relentless search for justice.
