A Bitter Finish

Someone tampered with the cider. Someone switched the labels. And one critic won't live to reveal why.

The Second Chapter Inn's first autumn tasting weekend should put its restored dining room on the map. Meg Ashworth has gathered Vermont's finest cider makers, their best bottles, and one influential critic for a weekend no one will forget.

Then the critic collapses after announcing that one of Dunnett's most celebrated ciders is a fraud.

Every producer at the table has a reputation to protect. The bottles have been moved. A private vintage has been relabeled. And the service bell carries a sticky clue no one can explain.

With secret recipes, professional grudges, and one very public scandal muddying the investigation, Meg must separate ordinary deception from murder.

Plenty of people had a reason to silence the victim.

Only one of them knew exactly which glass to use.

A crisp Vermont autumn, a deliciously suspicious tasting weekend, and a mystery filled with false labels and even falser friends. Perfect for readers who love culinary cozies, clever clues, small-town secrets, and satisfying, fair-play solutions.
