WINED AND DIED IN NEW ORLEANS A Vintage Cookbook Mystery, Book 2

Amy Melissa Bentley returns to narrate the second installment in this charming cozy mystery series. Ricki James-Diaz is the proprietor of Miss Vee's Vintage Cookbook and Kitchenware Shop. The store is located in the Bon Vee Culinary House Museum, which is owned by New Orleans society queen Eugenia Charbonnet Felice. When 120 bottles of rare wine are unearthed while renovating the museum, distant Charbonnet relatives arrive to assert inheritance rights. When one of them is found dead, nearly every family member and many museum staff have a motive, and Ricki starts investigating--much to the chagrin of Detective Nina Rodriquez. Bentley provides each character with a nuanced and distinct personality. Her propulsive narration ramps up the tension, making this a fun listen.
