The second in a fantastic new cozy mystery series with a vintage flair from USA Today bestselling and Agatha Award–winning author Ellen Byron.
It’s hurricane season in New Orleans and vintage cookbook fan Ricki James-Diaz is trying to shelve her weather-related fears and focus on her business, Miss Vee’s Vintage Cookbook and Kitchenware Shop, housed in the magnificent Bon Vee Culinary House Museum.
 
Repairs on the property unearth crates of very old, very valuable French wine, buried by the home’s builder, Jean-Louis Charbonnet. Ricki, who’s been struggling to attract more customers to Miss Vee’s, is thrilled when her post about the discovery of this long-buried treasure goes viral. She’s less thrilled when the post brings distant Charbonnet family members out of the woodwork, all clamoring for a cut of the wine’s sale.
 
When a dead body turns up in Bon Vee’s cheery fall decorations, the NOPD zeroes in on Eugenia Charbonnet Felice as the prime suspect, figuring that as head of the Charbonnet family, she has the most to gain. Ricki is determined to uncover the real culprit, but she can’t help noticing that Eugenia is acting strangely. Ricki wonders what kind of secret her mentor has bottled up, and fears what might happen if she uncorks it.
 
In the second Vintage Cookbook Mystery, Ricki has to help solve a murder, untangle family secrets, and grow her business, all while living under the threat of a hurricane that could wipe out everything from her home to Bon Vee.

      Amy Melissa Bentley returns to narrate the second installment in this charming cozy mystery series. Ricki James-Diaz is the proprietor of Miss Vee's Vintage Cookbook and Kitchenware Shop. The store is located in the Bon Vee Culinary House Museum, which is owned by New Orleans society queen Eugenia Charbonnet Felice. When 120 bottles of rare wine are unearthed while renovating the museum, distant Charbonnet relatives arrive to assert inheritance rights. When one of them is found dead, nearly every family member and many museum staff have a motive, and Ricki starts investigating--much to the chagrin of Detective Nina Rodriquez. Bentley provides each character with a nuanced and distinct personality. Her propulsive narration ramps up the tension, making this a fun listen. M.J. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
