July 31st's Book Beginnings and Friday 56

It's Friday!  That means it is time for Book Beginnings and Friday 56.

This week, I'm featuring Killer Chardonnay by Kate Lansing.

                                                      

This is the first in the Colorado Wine Mystery series, and the first novel from Kate Lansing.  It's wonderful!

Here's how the book begins:

I arrange open bottles of wine behind the hard maple countertop from lightest to heaviest.

The opening sets the stage, but this from page 56 will definitely make you wonder what is going on:

We continue our sibling banter, but there's something simmering below the surface, a forced nonchalance emanating from Liam that sets me on edge.

I really enjoyed this book.  I'll be publishing my review on Thursday next week, so I hope you'll come back and read my review then.

In the meantime, have a wonderful week.
