Wine and Punishment
by Sarah Fox
I am a fan of this author's Pancake House Mystery so when I read that she had a new series coming out centered around a pub with a literary theme I was intrigued. I thought this was a solid start to a new series. I enjoyed stepping into the the world of the Inkwell, which is a great name for the pub, and getting to know Sadie Coleman, and the rest of the characters. I think that as the series progresses and the characters are developed more that readers will take to them. I just felt that in this first book we didn't really get to know some of the more prominent secondary characters enough. They mystery was well done, but a little drawn out for me. I didn't guess the identity of the killer but thought it could have been wrapped up a bit quicker. There was a part in the middle of the book, when incidents just kept happening to Sadie that I thought the book dragged for me.
Overall, I liked this first book and think with some more character development and shortened mysteries that series has really good promise to stick around for awhile. I voluntarily read a digital ARC provided to me by the publisher, Lyrical Underground, through Netgalley.
