What People are Saying About This

Kermit Lynch

Those of us who enjoy an authentic look into another culture while reading a mystery are going to enjoy joining Nadia Gordon in the wild, weird wine industry." --Tony Hillerman, author of The First Eagle and A Thief of Time "Napa Valley, the good life, sunny skies, fine cuisine, and fleshy reds. But isn't there something murky at the bottom of the bottle? Yes, and it is murder, no less. The mystery of wine . . . If a wine does not have some mystery to it, we call it plonk. Sharpshooter is not plonk. A crime novel with taste.
— author of Adventures on the Wine Route

Muller

Nadia Gordon makes a promising debut with Sharpshooter. Heroine Sunny McCoskey is bright, tenacious, and extremely likeable, and Gordon paints a vivid portrait of the Napa Valley and its wine-and-food culture. I'm looking forward to many more novels in this intriguing new series.
