Of Vines and Victims

When a wine-country wedding becomes a murder investigation, can Daphne clear an innocent woman's name before the killer strikes again? Wedding celebrant Daphne Jones arrives at Crystal Springs Winery expecting a simple ceremony. Instead, she gets a shock: the bride is Belle, the beloved foster daughter she lost touch with a decade ago. Their reunion is cut short, however, when Daphne finds a notorious food critic stabbed to death, and his dying words implicate the winery's head chef, Susan. But the scene is too perfect. Is Susan being framed? As Daphne digs deeper, a sinister pattern emerges: anonymous threats, suspicious accidents, a hit-and-run that nearly killed the groom's father. Someone wants Crystal Springs destroyed, and murder is just the beginning. With Belle's wedding days away, Daphne races to expose the truth. But the real killer is watching, and getting too close to the answers might make her the next victim... A cozy, character-driven mystery which will delight fans of Lauren Elliott, M.C. Beaton and Ellie Alexander.
