Autumn has come to Cedar County. It’s harvest time. The trees and vines in the orchards and vineyards are heavy with ripening fruit. For the tourists flocking to the tasting rooms of the region’s vineyards, the land- scapes and seascapes provide an elaborate tapestry of rich colors and textures.
However, there is one discordant note in this pastoral splendor, the crumpled body of an international … international wine maven has been discovered in a steeply terraced vine- yard of merlot grapes. As Sheriff Ray Elkins quickly discovers, the roots of this crime run from the legendary chateaus of Burgundy to the exclusive watering holes of Chinese billionaires.

Good story line, relatable characters. Will read more by this author!
Story line was great. Would have been even better if beginning of some chapters weren’t missing.
Great main character and good supporting ones. Interesting plots in a scenic and interesting locale.
Very good murder mystery, though it did go off on a few tangents that added unnecessary length.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and learned quite a lot about the wine growing regions of America. I was completely unaware that Michigan was a wine producing state, so I learned something there! It was an absorbing read and I found it hard to put down until I’d completed it!
It was fairly interesting,, It held your attention.
Too much happened at the very end. I learned about wine in Michigan.
It is a good read.
