A Toast to Murder
Myrtle Clover Cozy Mysteries | Book 24
April 9, 2024
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with an unstoppable octogenarian protagonist who refuses to slow down — sharp, funny, and not about to let her police chief son tell her what to do. Light and funny even when there's murder involved.
Uncorking secrets, one grape at a time.
Myrtle Clover had quite a fondness for getting things for free. So she was delighted when a former student and current winery owner invited her and a friend to a free tasting. When Myrtle and Miles visited the charming Serenity Springs Winery for a relaxing afternoon of tastings, she anticipated nothing more than sipping fine vintages and enjoying the picturesque vineyards. But as any seasoned sleuth knows, murder occurs in the most unexpected places.
She and Miles were savoring the various offerings and relaxing in front of the winery's large fireplace when they realized the guest dozing in the armchair nearest them was not just napping--he was out for good.
Can Myrtle and Miles find the killer before more trouble ferments?
