READ AT BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER. THIS IS BOOK ONE IN THE "WINE LOVERS" SERIES.
She looked down and saw a hand. She screamed as her eyes followed the hand deeper into the bushes. (pg 29)
About the book:
(Genre: mystery)
Nikki Sands was like every other aspiring actress -- waiting tables between jobs. But Nikki had taken serving wines to heart. She knew enough to impress Napa Valley's golden boy, Derek Malveaux, who offered her a job at his vineyard. And though Nikki may have left her dreams of stardom behind, the world of wine is ripe with intrigue -- and the seeds of sleuthing are planted ...
Nikki has just set foot on Napa Valleys' rich soil when she realizes her new job may not be as safe as she thought. First off, Derek Malveaux is disconcertingly sexy. Second, his top winemaker is dead in the bushes outside Nikki's cottage. It doesn't take a connoisseur of foul play to know something's taken a terrible turn ...

A mysterious teaser, I like it. The book sounds like a good read. My TT: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/09/teaser-tuesday-the-accordionists-son.html
The cover is perfect with the teaser....
Does she forage into the bush and find the rest of the body... or was it detached?? Sorry love the macabre feeling and my own imagination tends to lean towards Edgar Allan Poe...
But on a complete 360 not... My teaser is on Romance :)

I get the feeling that she's going to follow that hand and see what's going on at the end of it. Me? I'd be running in the oppostite direction :) Thanks for sharing
Come by and see the Teaser I chose
Gotta be careful of those hands in the bushes! :) Check out my Tuesday here

Jennifer: Thanks, this was a pretty good mystery.
Aisle B: They did a great job with the cover art, didn't they? As for what she finds in the bush...guess you'll have to read the book to find out. *WEG*
Booksih: Yeah, I don't believe I'd be following that hand, either. *shudders*
Kylie: My sentiment exactly, lol!
Hmmm, I don't think I'd put my hand in a bush like that. :)
I think I've read one of Michelle's wine mysteries, although I can't remember the title.
Here’s My Teaser
I love cozy mysteries and this one sounds like it would be right up my alley - combining wines and a mystery!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I have all the books in this series waiting her to be read. I really must, must do it.
There must a cozy mystery series for just about every job, hobby etc!
My teaser is here
Oh, wow, as soon as I saw that cover, I thought...hmm, I'll bet it's set in the Napa Valley...and sure enough!
I love it there. What a perfect place for a mystery....
Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog.
Shelley: This was my first book by Michele. I have book three, but prefer to reda series in order, so it is on hold until I get my hands on book two.
Kristin: The wine aspect in this one makes for an intriguing setting. There's something almost mystical about Napa, isn't there?
Beth: A familiar dilemma! I have books for a lot of series that interest me on my shelves, it's just a matter of actually getting to them! lol
Marg: I'm beginning to think there is, LOL! I've read a great many of them, and have liked some series better than others. I liked this first "wine" book enough that I will check out the next couple.
Laurel-Rain: I've never been to Napa Valley, or anywhere on the west coast, but perhaps some day. Thanks for visiting!
how scary . . .
Kaye-the road goes ever ever on
Yep, that's a classic dead-body-discovery moment for you.
This quote goes perfectly with the cover. Great teaser! My TT from Linger is here.

My Teaser
Kaye: It would certainly frighten the stuffing out of me!
Alice: And I didn't even have to cue the scary music! *g*
EJ: I didn't notice until you pointed it out, but it really does! Eerie...lol
Bev: Yes, you do. Especially this time of year, with cooler temps settling--weather just right for cuddling up with a cup of hot apple cider, an afghan and a good mystery!
Thanks, Heather, and thanks for following!
Wait - If a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, what's a hand in the bush mean?
I wish I had a bigger book budget so that I could pick up all these interesting cozies you've been posting on here. I'd try and get a second job just to buy books but then...WHEN WOULD I READ???
oooh so creepy!! i like it!
Eleri: ROFLMBO... A good question! I'd say five to life, depending on whether or not it was premeditated, and whether it was covered up. *WEG*
Jana: I hear ya, sister! I have not got any of the books on this month's TBB list. Yet. I'm hoping to find some of them used to help cut down on costs. Plus, buying them used means I can get two or three for the price of one. I know I am lucky to have that option. I try to support favorite authors by buying new when I can, but as you know, it's not always possible.
Carrie: Thanks, I'm glad you like. Thanks for visiting! *G*
