Poppy McAllister, baker and B&B owner, is lucky enough to be part of a Wine group touring. Several of the guests will be at her B&B, but was this really a lucky break?. Maybe not since grumpy old Vince Baker and his young wife Sunny along with her Pomeranian spoiled dog from Hell are the guests she has been "blessed" with. When Vince's grown daughter and self-centered son-in-law join the group, Poppy has her hands full juggling the guests, their special requests and a new chambermaid who seems to fall asleep at the drop of a hat. It doesn't help when Vince is poisoned on the first day and the local law enforcement ask Poppy take in all the other Wine tour members while the investigation is underway. Needing to get her B&B emptied as soon as she can, Poppy along with Aunt Ginny set out to find the murderer. I absolutely LOVE this series. Poppy's personality and personal issues are so realistic I just want her to be my friend. The mystery was well-plotted and the fun to unravel. Loved the interaction between Figaro (Poppy's cat - normally a naughty kitty) and Sunny's dog, Tammy Faye Baker! What a hoot! Too bad that we will have to wait months for the next adventure!

When Poppy and Aunt Ginny agreed to host a Wine and Cheese Happy Hour for a tour group at their Butterfly House Bed and Breakfast on the Jersey Shore, they never anticipated such a sour bunch. Grumpy guest Vince Baker should be in a better moodâ??he's filthy rich and on his honeymoon with his much younger wife Sunny, who seems to dote on him almost as much as her high-spirited teacup Pomeranian, Tammy Faye Baker. But the honeymoon is over when Vince drops dead the next day touring the Laughing Gull Winery. Turns out he's been poisoned, and it seems like everybody on the tour is hiding something. Now Poppy has to put her gluten-free baking on the back burner and bottle up her feelings for the two men in her life while she charges after a bitter killer with a lethal case of sour grapes . . .

I loved Wine Tastings are Murder. Libby Klein never disappoints with this series and Wine Tastings are Murder is no exception. The humorous lines and scenes are abundant, and on numerous occasions I broke out into fits of spontaneous laughter. I love the Cape May, NJ setting of this cozy mystery. I vacationed there many years ago and it brought back fond memories. It was fun envisioning the wacky cast of characters in this setting and the never ending comedic scenes involving the tour guests, Figaro the cat, the visiting teacup pom Tammy Faye Baker, Aunt Ginny and her friends the biddies, the Ukrainian narcoleptic chambermaid named Victory, a pseudo social media fanatic, and Poppy’s nemesis, Amber the cop, who’s heading up the murder investigation.
Amidst the chaos of this bedlam, the time has come for Poppy to choose which beau will be her forever after. We’ve been waiting for this moment since earlier in the series. Will it be Tim or Gia? The answer in the end will amaze you.
The revelation of the murderer at the conclusion of this cozy mystery was creative brilliance, and the final line of the book whet my appetite exceedingly for the next installment in the series.
If you’d like a cozy mystery that features food, a feisty senior citizen, a naughty cat, a wacky cast of characters, lots of laughs and a thoroughly satisfying ending, then I highly recommend Wine Tastings are Murder. I listened to the audiobook version and Callie Beaulieu does an excellent job narrating the various characters. I kept laughing at her interpretation of Victory the Ukrainian chambermaid and the Italian, Gia.
