Publisher Description:
Raise a glass to Cece Barton, a widowed
single mom and recent L.A.-to-California-wine-country transplant who suddenly
finds herself at the center of a murder investigation in this sparkling new
mystery series from Agatha Award-winning author Maddie Day.
As the manager of Vino y Vida Wine Bar in Colinas, Cecelia “Cece” Barton’s
first Alexander Valley harvest is a whirlwind of activity. Her twin sister,
Allie Halstead, who owns a nearby Victorian bed & breakfast, is accustomed
to the hustle and bustle of peak tourist season. But Cece barely has a moment
to enjoy her new home in between worrying about her estranged college-age
daughter, juggling her responsibilities at the bar, and navigating the sticky
politics of the local wine association. Just when it seems things can’t grow
any more intense, Colinas is rocked by a murder within the wine community . . .
and Cece is identified as a possible suspect!
With her reputation and her livelihood on the line—and the Sonoma County deputy
sheriff breathing down her neck—Cece has no choice but to open up her own
murder investigation. Tensions are already high in the valley, as a massive
wildfire creeps toward Colinas, threatening homes, vineyards, and the vital
tourist trade. And now, with a murderer on the loose, and Cece’s sleuthing
exposing the valley’s bitterest old rivalries and secret new alliances, Colinas
feels ready to pop! But with Allie’s help, Cece is determined to catch the
killer and clear her name before everything she’s worked so hard for goes up in
flames . . .
