If you are not familiar with this series yet there is a cast of characters at the very beginning which will clue you in. If you have read one or both of the other two you will recognize all the lovable people and their pets!
This time the Diva's have to find a murderer because one of their friends is the top suspect and he did not do it!! I have to say they always make sure that Billy, the young boy who is living with them, never manages to see or hear anything he should not--much to his disgust!
Twists and turns galore which are certain to leave your head spinning along with the law enforcement people who can't seem to keep up with the Diva's!!
I am certain you will love this one as I did--I am looking forward to the next book in this series to see what trouble the Diva's can get into then out of next!
About the Book: (from Amazon)
In wine country, a federal judge is murdered and Aunt Lettie’s old friend, Judge Colin Brinkley, quickly becomes a suspect.
Lily, Austin, and her friends are excited about the Calla Lily Winery vintages entered in this year’s Taste of Napa Challenge. The event turns out to be more challenging than anyone imagined when a fire ends the awards ceremony. The plot thickens when one of the wines entered in the competition turns out to be a killer vintage. The U.S. Marshals Service is on the job, but when Aunt Lettie’s old friend becomes a suspect, Lily and her friends are soon caught up in the mystery too. Is the murder of a federal judge about a rivalry among vintners, one of the judge’s cases, or something more personal? Join Lily and Austin as they try to discover who’s responsible for fall’s killer vintage.

Life is an extravaganza! figuring out how to hang tough and make the most of the wild ride is the challenge.
On my way to Oahu to join the rock musician and high school drop-out I had met in San Diego and married in Tijuana, I was nabbed by the police as a runaway. When the police let me go and the rock band broke up, my husband and I had to find another way to survive. Our next stop: Disney World where we trained to be chefs, courtesy of the Walt Disney World University. A GED for my husband and many more years of education landed us in academia at The Ohio State University. Retired now from my role as a professor in social work and behavioral science, I have picked up a long-time interest in writing fiction. I'm still married to the same sweet guy and live with him in the Palm Springs area. In addition to reading and writing fiction, I enjoy painting, hiking, hanging out with my handsome husband and tending to my Siamese kitties.
An award-winning and bestselling author I enjoy snooping into life's mysteries with fun, fiction, & food—California style!

I doubt that I will be able to figure out the mystery but that is what makes reading so much fun! I love enjoying the author's work, but I am often surprised at the ending. Thanks for the super giveaway opportunity.
I probably won't figure it out before the divas do, but it will be fun trying. I love mysteries with lots of twists, turns, and red herrings; dogs and good recipes are always welcome and enjoyed.
My mother is better at mysteries then me. Twists, turns and dogs make the book more fun.
Thanks for the giveaway! I love Anna Celeste's Books and I know this one will be no different. There are always twists and turns and surprises and that's what makes her books so wonderful and fun! I'm so bad at figuring out whodunit, that's what keeps the mystery alive for me, plus dogs, cats and recipes, how could you go wrong.
I love a good mystery, I would like to think that I could figure out the ending, but if I couldn't all the better.
For sure, any kind of mystery that keeps me on the edge of my seat. I think that the unpredictable ones are the most enticing. Usually I can guess it though.
If you haven't read any of Anna Celeste Burke's books your missing out on great reads.
I love all of Anna Celeste Burke's books (I have all of her eBooks.) This twists and turns are why I love cozy mysteries! I love the guessing of the guilty party and, at least with Celeste's books, I guess wrong more than correct! Thanks for the opportunity!

I have wanted to read these, but I do not see them in print. As for mysteries, I like several red herrings that keep me guessing.

I didn't figure out whodunit this time. I love her books because they always have plenty of twists and turns to keep me guessing.
It sounds like a great book. No I don't think I could figure it out and I love twists and turns. Dogs and recipes are always welcome. Thanks
I think I'll figure it out before the Divas. I'm a pretty good amateur sleuth. :) The more twists and turns the better. Dogs are always nice and a good recipes is just a little extra for me.
I like twists and turns in my mysteries. Usually I can figure it out, or at least have a good idea of 'who-dun-it' before the reveal in the book -- but not always.
And although I don't have a pet, and I consider myself 'not an animal person,' I do like dogs, &/or cats, in the books I read. Maybe that's how I get my 'animal fix' in.
And oh do I like recipes!
Sounds great and I'm usually pretty good at figuring out the killers and I love pets in books❤❤ my 2 crazy cats would be perfect...lol
Love to try and figure out the mystery and usually do. I love animals in stories. As for twists and turns, the more the merrier - makes it more intriguing.
I love animals in books, as long as they are loved and treated with kindness. I love plot twist and turns, it makes for an exciting read. Thank you for this chance!
I really enjoy twists and turns in a story. I like to try and figure out who did it. I also like dogs, cats and recipes also featured in the story.
I rarely figure out a mystery and if I do it's a complete guess. I love dogs and recipes in mysteries.
Not likely to figure it out first :)
Twists, turns, red herrings, yeah bring them on! Congratulations on your new release and thanks for the opportunity. Entered with yahoo email.
I probably won't figure it out before the divas do. Love the series. Thanks for the chance.
I love mysteries with lots of twists and turns.
I do like stories with lots of twists and turns. I also like stories with dogs and horses in them. And sometimes cats.

Not sure I can figure out the mystery before it's solved but thanks for the giveaway!
Oh I have to say I am not very good at figuring out who did it...but oh its so fun to try and guess along the way! I love when they have lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing!
Love twists and turns, but unlikely to figure this one out first.
I probably won't be able to figure out who did it. I always think I know but I'm wrong.
I won't be able to figure it out.
I do like recipes and animals in the books I read. I'm not always great at figuring them out though.
I do like to have a lot of twist and turns. I also usually figure it out before the end.
I LOVE playing detective. This twisty turny story reminds me of Knives Out! Twists until the very end!
I often will figure it out before the end, but I love lots of twists and turns to keep me guessing!
I can't wait to read this newest addition in the series!
I am so excited to read this book and solve this mystery!
