Death on the Vine
Just before high school graduation, Daisy Murphy returns home from a football game and finds her mother standing over her abusive boyfriend’s body—holding a bloody hammer. In the aftermath, Daisy flees her home and eventually establishes a new life as an expert winemaker in the Central Valley of California. But as hard as she tries to get away from her past, the effects of that horrible night travel with her.
Detective Jake Frisco has unearthed a murder at the vineyard where Daisy is employed as the winery’s expert winemaker. It doesn’t take long to discover that Daisy is haunted by her past and carries a heavy burden. It seems that possible involvement in an unsolved murder is part of her life’s baggage. Does this put Daisy at the top of the suspect’s list? Can he put aside his growing feelings for her and follow the leads in the case, even if they take him straight to her as the murderer?
Can Daisy finally face her past and trust that the truth she offers the Detective will be enough to save her? Will she find the courage to ask for a future beyond the sorrow of her youth—a future filled with love and self-worth?

If I drank alcohol that drink might sound good.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll love it even without the alcohol. Give it a shot!
DeleteThis sounds like a fun read! I have not had a hurricane in years. I used to love them but as I got older my stomach can no longer handle the hard liquor. So beer and wine it is!
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun read, exciting page turner. And if you like wine...as I see you do you'll love the inside information about wine, and the prolific forgeing of wine. Check it out.
Deletelooks delicious !
ReplyDeleteOh it is! I limit myself to one a year (okay a large one).
DeleteThe book sounds great! Daisy has a lot to deal with!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty & yummy-looking drink :)
Daisy does have a lot to deal with but she's a survivior. I think you'll love the tongue and cheek responses she gives to a certain detective, particularly about the handcuffs.
DeleteSounds like it would be delicious if you like rum. I unfortunately can't go near the stuff...

Hi Ygraine...love your name. Yes, I think your son will love the drink. It is a great get away book for the summer.
DeleteThat drink sounds delicious and probably a big dangerous as you'd probably want to have more than one :-)
ReplyDeleteOh you are so right. I had one and had a hard time getting down a ramp on a ship. They are so good, don't taste like a coctail, but it can hit you. Check out the book, I think you'll love to give that a whirl as well.
