Bücher der Reihe The Wine Trail Mysteries

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. . .

You can't plant traminette if you're behind bars . . . When reluctant winery owner Norrie Ellington is gifted with cockroach DNA, she thinks things couldn't get worse. But then the body of a noted developer is found at a neighboring winery, and all fingers point to her friend Madeline Martinez. It doesn't help that Madeline was seen having verbal altercations with the man on two different occasions when he outbid her for lakefront property she planned to use for planting traminette grapes.It's no wonder Madeline has found herself behind bars, and worse yet, someone is gunning for Norrie. With wine to be racked, roach DNA to be stored, and a slew of unsavory suspects, Norrie must put her screenwriting on hold and her sleuthing skills to work before she finds herself alongside her friend, or-heaven forbid-the next victim of a ruthless killer . . .
