Cozy up to the bar as Michelle Hillen Klump pours another ""sparkling cocktail of murder and mystery"" (Amy Pershing).

Fans of Diane Mott Davidson and Lee Hollis will savor every delectable sip of this clever and utterly intoxicating cozy.

Reporter-turned-mixologist Samantha Warren has already thwarted one murder. Now, her world is shaken-definitely not stirred-once again as another killing throws her world into chaos.

Samantha is mixing up traditional cocktails at the German Texan Lodge's Fourth of July festival-a gig she was roped into by her mother. But amidst the bratwurst and brass bands, trouble is brewing. Lodge loyalties are divided over a proposal to build a private, country-club-style tennis center on the lodge grounds. Her mom's best friend Patty Davis is vehemently opposed to the plan. Society matron Angela Clawson is all for it. At the festival, they're seen in a heated argument-and hours later, Angela is found dead, killed by one of the ceremonial shovels intended for the groundbreaking.

Samantha's mother begs her to help clear her best friend's name, but can she handle another murder case or will the whole investigation go bottoms up?
