Learn moreLucie Montgomery's semi-estranged brother, Eli, calls her in France to tell her their father, Leland, has been killed in a hunting accident on the family's five hundred acre Virginia vineyard. But the vineyard is now shabby and run-down and her siblings want to sell it. Then Lucie's godfather tells her Leland's death was no accident. With her greedy brother, hell-raising sister, and a seemingly cut-rate vintner hired by Leland just before he died, all the suspects are disturbingly close to home. Unsure whom she can trust, Lucie must uncover the truth—and oversee a successful harvest—to save the vineyard she loves.

Reviews
“Crosby has constructed a neat whodunit, supported by enough wine-making lore to give it some extra body.”
“Like a fine wine, full-bodied, complex and satisfying.”
“A fast-paced, intriguing debut that holds interest from cover to cover.”
“This is a terrific kickoff to what promises to be a highly satisfying new series.”
“An absorbing plot, rich with details on the wine industry, and an evocative sense of the lush Virginia countryside are the main sources of appeal here.”
