When a love of wine becomes lethal, local B&B owner Anna McGregor discovers she's the town's connoisseurat defending the innocent and unmasking murderers. But if she goes after the killer, will the people she cares about most get crushed in the process?
Anna loves the new life she's built for herself in Cape May, a town known for its historic beauty, picturesque beaches, developing wine culture and ... murder? Thanks to some previous successes - and a close relationship with a local patrolman - Anna finds herself pressured into accepting the task of proving a new friend's innocence in a tragic death at a local winery.
Her investigation reveals an embarrassment of suspects, not to mention one too many potential victims. As always, Anna relies on help from her friends to find the truth. This time, though, offering help means breaking the rules.
Now she must not only catch a killer but also save the reputation of one of her closest friends, all while getting ready to send her young cousin, Eoin, back to Ireland, trying to solve the riddle of her love life, and figuring out her future as a medical anthropologist.
