From New York Times bestselling author Gemma Halliday comes a killer new culinary mystery novel in the USA Today bestselling Wine & Dine Mysteries! Emmy Oak''s family run winery has been in the headlines one too many times and for all the wrong reasons. Which is why she''s decided to hire a night security guard, Bill Buckley, to keep an eye on the place. Only when Buckley calls her in a panic about a tripped alarm, Emmy fears trouble at Oak Valley Vineyards again. A fear that is realized in the worst way when Emmy rushes home to find her security guard dead among the blooming grape vines. Was it poachers? Trespassers? An interrupted would-be burglar? Or was the attack less random and much more personal... Emmy''s sorta-maybe boyfriend Detective Christopher Grant worries the killer might have been after her. But as Emmy learns more about her late employee, she realizes Buckley had far more enemies than she. Before becoming a security guard, Buckley was a police officer...who was caught taking bribes to look the other way. A scandal that illuminates a whole host of suspects, including an angry ex-wife, a former partner with a grudge, and a convicted madame turned cookie purveyor with revenge on the mind. Not to mention the surly teenage son of Buckley''s live-in girlfriend, who would do anything to get rid of his almost-stepdad. But when Emmy finds out Detective Grant also has his own connection to the dead man, she suddenly wonders what else Grant may be hiding about his past. Can Emmy ferret out the killer among the vines... before they come looking for another victim? **Simple and delicious recipes and affordable wine pairings included!** "Ms. Halliday is the undisputed queen of the genre." ~ Fresh Fiction "I rank ''A Sip Before Dying'' as one of my favorite fun reads.

From New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Gemma Halliday comes sass, lies, and rock ''n'' roll in a humorous mystery that''s sure to leave you guessing! Her name is Bond. Jamie Bond. And her life has never been more dangerous... Clients are usually beating down LA private investigator Jamie Bond''s door, looking to hire her and her crew of Bond Girls. But lately business has been slow, causing Jamie to take on some unusual clients. Case in point: the aging rock star who is sure his young alien-enthusiast wife is cheating on him. While Jamie has a feeling three decades of rock ''n'' roll may have clouded his vision, she takes the case anyway—hey, money is money, right? Only when her client ends up dead under suspicious circumstances, Jamie is rethinking her career choices. Especially when a second band member hires her, this time to put to rest an argument over the rights to the band''s one hit song, "Hot Waitress." The song was mildly popular in the eighties, and after being recently used in a millennial-aimed TV commercial it''s started generating big royalties—possibly big enough to kill over? Did the drummer with a temper finally snuff out his bandmate? Or was it the guitarist with a secret? The keyboard player with a decades-long grudge? Or did the younger wife simply decide she''d make out better as a widow than a divorcee? Between more suspects than she can trail, a side case involving frisky senior citizens, and two hot men both vying for her attention and demanding a decision, Jamie has more than she can handle. Can she make it out alive? Or will this be the case that finally breaks her?

While her best friend, Irene Adler, is a dot-com millionaire many times over, Marty''s days are filled with working as a barista at a Stanford University coffee bar, crashing various courses and lectures, and dodging the rent collector at her crummy apartment. But when Marty suddenly finds out that a long-lost aunt has left her a Victorian home at 221 Baker Street in the heart of San Francisco, she''s hopeful her luck is about to turn around! Okay, so the Victorian is run down and probably in need of more repairs than Marty could ever afford, but at least it''s a link to family.

Taking her suspicions to the grumpy Detective Lastrade and the uber-hot medical examiner, Dr. John Watson, only gets her a pair of doors slammed in her face.

Twittercide: the killing of one human being by another while the victim is in the act of tweeting. Call me crazy, but I figured writing for the Herbert Hoover High Homepage would be a pretty sweet gig. Pad the resume for college applications, get a first look at the gossip column, spend some time ogling the paper''s brooding bad-boy editor, Chase Erikson. But on my first big story, things went . . . a little south. What should have been a normal interview with Sydney Sanders turned into me discovering the homecoming queen–hopeful dead in her pool. Electrocuted while Tweeting. Now, in addition to developing a reputation as HHH''s resident body finder, I''m stuck trying to prove that Sydney''s death wasn''t suicide. I''m starting to long for the days when my biggest worry was whether the cafeteria was serving pizza sticks or Tuesday Tacos. . . .

Anya Danielovich was an assassin in her former life. But that was a long time ago. Today she''s just Anna Smith--living in San Francisco with a simple desire to lead a better life. But she''s still haunted by her past--the people she killed, the mentor she betrayed, the woman she was. She''s taken care to cover her tracks, but she''s beginning to feel like she''s being watched.

First I find out that my boyfriend is cheating on me. Then he’s pegged as the #1 suspect in a murder. And now he’s depending on me to clear his name. Seriously? As much as I wouldn’t mind watching him squirm, I know that he’s innocent. So I’m brushing off my previously untapped detective skills and getting down to business. But I keep tripping over dead bodies and I’m still no closer to figuring out who did it. And what’s worse: all signs seem to point to me as the killer’s next victim. I really need to pick a better boyfriend next time.

When she starts receiving death threats that lead to violence and murder, Tina Bender, the L.A. Informer''s gossip columnist, is forced by her boss to hire bodyguard Calvin Dean, and they work together to stop the killer.
