A Pairing to Die for by Kate Lansing

3.0

I had not read the first book in this series, but I was just fine to pick up this second book. It was a fun quick read, perfect for a time you can get some wine and just get lost in this cozy mystery.

Parker owns her own Wine making business and is happy with her boyfriend. When she has to clear his name after being accused of murder, she is on the case to make sure her love is not taken away to jail. I thought this was a cute cozy. Parker has to solve the crime since Reid does not seem to have a family who cares about his innocence.

What I have noticed abut cozy mysteries is they all follow a pattern.... a woman who owns a business and then has to solve all of the murders in town. There is usually a love triangle as well. I got some Joanna Fluke vibes, just like Hannah Swensen with her bakery and love triangle. I have fun with these books, but it would be cool to see something less formualic.

A solid cozy mystery that is easy to finish in a day. I think the series has some big potential.
