Wine and Punishment

Sarah Fox

3.56 AVERAGE


I thoroughly enjoyed this first book in the series!

A fun mystery.

With this book Sarah Fox has entered my "will always read" category of books; her depth of character and engaging story line has me hooked!

Sadie moves from Boston to a small town, buying a pub and being magically good at it -- a very typical start to a cozy series. Her ex shows up, stalking her, and its quickly found dead. The usual cast of character but the start to the expected romance is over that top annoying. Probably a 3.5 but I'll give it a 4.

Not terrible but I'm not clamoring for the next one. Probably more me than this novel, though — I really need to step away from the cozies for awhile — because as cozies go, this was one of the better ones.
