Death by the Glass: A Sunny McCoskey Napa Valley Story by Nadia Gordon
Plot: Joining an American-wide chef competition, Sunny McCoskey competes in this epic contest of cooking. However, a day after the game ends, the biggest owner of the restaurant Vinifera, dies mysteriously inside his own house, Sunny smells some foul play and investigates further on what is reported as a natural heart attack.
Meeting new friends with some and leaving not-so-good impressions for others, she plays a role of sleuth and finds that it is not in fact, a “natural” heart attack, and the result she finds astounds all readers.
My Thoughts: First starting to read it, I didn’t exactly think it would take me as deep in thinking about everything that happens around us. Whilst it had so many unknown words about food and especially wine, these aspects hook me on to not only try to figure the puzzle, but brought up my ambition to understand what in the world these wines and cognacs and Armagnac’s were about.
Finishing the book, it’s surprising who and how they did it. Despite Sunny being the logical and smart one, she did get a scare when she finally figured what was going on. Through cool thinking, slipping of tongues and pure coincidences form this exciting and addicting story.
Recommended People: Readers aged ten to eleven and above.
Rating: 4/5

Death by the Glass: A Sunny McCoskey Napa Valley Story by Nadia Gordon
故事：女主角Sunny McCoskey 在参加一个美国巨型厨师比赛的时候被参赛餐馆里的一位大老板的神秘死亡缠住了。一心一意当侦探的她不相信法医得出的结果，终于她 得到了她的第二个案子。
在Sunny的反复调查之后，她得出的惊人结果下呆了所有人，可当证据将这个假设证明无效后，真正的故事被揭穿了。
我的读后感：当我一开始读的时候，没想到这本书让我还学到新知识。它这里面说了这么多关于食物和葡萄酒的事情的确教给我了不少东西。不光这些，故事情节在后面的故事里越来越精彩而且最后的结尾里将所有的问题和漏洞彻底圆了，而且结果是非常出乎意料。
建议读者：十到十一岁以上
评级：4/5
