A Pairing to Die For

 A Pairing to Die For is the 2nd installment in the Colorado Wine series by Kate Lansing.  This latest book has a well-developed mystery but its real strength is in the characters relationships.  This story characteristic is very appealing and makes the series very relatable and intriguing.  Wine lovers will especially like this series and may learn something about the winemaking process.  Foodies will also find a few dining references as well but the focus is definitely on wine.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A cozy that has a well-constructed mystery. In addition to clues that make sense when all are revealed there are some serious family dynamics going in. Both Parker and Reid have some difficulty relating to their family. Reid’s family is just downright dysfunctional and Parker is trying to find her way to gain approval from her mother. Both struggle for acceptance for following their passions and starting their own businesses. Those businesses provide a wonderful backdrop to the story with plenty of delicious recipe descriptions and wine explanations. Overall a great series with complex character relationships that look to have longevity in future books
