Summary: Great suspense, even if you don't know wine!
Review: Especially nice if you know the Napa Valley and if you like to speculate on just WHO in real life would make the best verisons of the fictional characters in this easy-to-read, enjoyable book. I even learned how to enjoy that left-over red wine the morning after!Good read, nice holiday gift along with a bottle of a great Napa Rutherford Cabernet!

Summary: Great Read!!
Review: I couldn't put this book down! Sharpshooter is an engaging mystery novel, very suspensful with a terrific plot set in the beautiful, sexy Napa Valley food and wine community. The sensual descriptions of fall feasts accompanied by witty dialogue and a good solid crime story make for a great read. Very engaging, much fun.

Summary: Sharpshooter
Review: I found this book from my little neighborhood book store couple weeks ago. I just wanted to have something light to read at the beach. It was light but on a good way, like good summery Chardonnay. Writing is very snappy, fun and it is a page turner. I read it on one sitting, which needless to say wasn't the smartes thing to do on a beach. So, despite my severe sunburn I do recommend this to anyone who's into good, fun mysteries. My hat's off to you Nadia, or should I say skin?

Summary: A New Mystery Convert!
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book and I don't normally read fiction. (As my previous reviews indicate.) I had just finished reading a beautiful big coffee table book - "Napa Stories: Profiles, Reflections, and Recipes from the Napa Valley" by Michael Chiarello. I was certainly in the mood. Author Nadia Gordon did her homework about the Napa Valley. As a biologist I wasn't sure the glassy-winged sharpshooter was an actual insect. Well, it certainly is. She creates a very real "sense of place" about this world famous valley. She weaves in a lot about wine making, believable local politics, society and personal relationships. I guess I am being a little bit picky, but I wish the book were a little bit longer to flesh out some of the characters more. However, this is the first of a series, so I guess it is a complement that I would like to know the characters better. The only other comment would be one of the main characters is named Rivka. It is a little bit difficult to mentally pronounce. I must admit it was a great read and I look forward to the rest of the series.

Summary: sharpshooter
Review: what fun to discover a new author and character that you look forward to hearing more from in the future - hope this is just the beginning! this was not an easy book to set aside, the combination of food and wine combined with a mystery setting was terrific. having been in the restaurant business for many years some of it was a bit of a stretch realistically but it didn't alter my enjoyment of the book.
