There’s a lot of noir surrounding this rare pinot.As the vineyards in Seneca Lake, New York, prepare for the seasonal “Deck the Halls Around the Lake” festivities, someone is determined to keep pinot noir off the wine list. Hijacked trucks and sabotaged ingredients have made it a hard-to-acquire vintage for the six local wineries—including Norrie Ellington’s Two Witches Winery.The case of the stolen and spoiled wines gets stranger when Arnold Mowen, owner of the company distributing the wine, is found dead, the apparent victim of a hunting accident. As Norrie tries to find the connections between the pinot’s problems and Arnold’s death, she uncovers a conspiracy among many locals whose hatred for the wine distributor was bottled up for far too long . . .
However since she is covering management of a winery for her sister it seems she has become somewhat of a murder magnet.
This book takes place around the major holidays as well as hunting season. With people coming and going, besides the sounds of carols, there is the sound of gunshots on the breeze. When the first bit of disastrous news arrives, it concerns hijacking of red wine, followed shortly thereafter by tampering with wooden casks and security systems. Someone knows what they are doing.
Is this to raise the price of wine or to get their hands on a business?
When Norrie and dog pal discover a body, all bets are off and the crazies come crawling out of the corners, including a trio of nuns with motive. Add to that the most unusual will any attorney has ever heard of and you have a mystery with something new on every page to keep you guessing.
You will have a hard time putting this book down. Will Norrie ever find time to get back to her own script?
Brush up your own Nancy Drew skills and see if you can detect a murderer.
