Overall Content Rating: Parents Strongly Cautioned PG-13
The story centers on investigating murders in a winery-town setting. Parents should expect moderate mystery violence: dead bodies, blood at a scene, discussion of how victims were killed, and occasional threats of gun violence, alongside lighter action such as stunts and property damage in anger. Language is generally mild: scattered rear-end euphemisms and intensifiers in dialogue, plus insults like calling someone foolish during fights. Sampled anatomical wording tied to a bird or weapon part is not sexual content on the page. No customer review notes were provided for additional themes.

About this book
Bookstore and bar owner, Jaycee Sullivan, figured it was just another typical day when her pastry chef sister, Jax, asked her to help deliver chocolates to a local winery. However, the discovery of a dead body was anything but typical for Jaycee. Then when the new hunky detective in town, Mike Connors, demands Jaycee keep her nose out of the investigation, she decides she has no choice but to take matters into her own hands. After all, her sister’s baking reputation is on the line and a killer is still on the loose. With the help of Gramps, a retired Army colonel, her mom, and Tillie, a former trapeze artist and contortionist, Jaycee picks up the investigation gauntlet and runs with it. Between slinging suds, boozy baking, and numerous wine tastings, Jaycee must scramble to bring down the killer before Jax is next in line. Read more
