Resumen del Editor

The brutal murder of a beautiful vineyard expert and a devastating storm force Virginia winemaker Lucie Montgomery to confront painful changes on the eve of her wedding.

In just over a week, vineyard owner Lucie Montgomery and winemaker Quinn Santori will be married in a ceremony overlooking what should be acres of lush flowering grapevines. Instead they are confronted by an ugly swathe of slowly dying vines and a nursery owner who denies responsibility for selling the diseased plants. With neighboring vineyards facing the same problem, accusations fly and the ugly stand-off between supplier and growers looks set to escalate into open warfare.

When Eve Kerr, a stunning blonde who works at the nursery, is found dead a few days later, everyone wonders if someone in the winemaking community went too far. What especially troubles Lucie is why Eve secretly arranged to meet Quinn on the day she was murdered—and whether Lucie's soon-to-be husband knows something he's not telling her.

Then a catastrophic storm blows through, destroying everything in its path. With no power, no phones, and no wedding venue, Lucie needs to find out who killed Eve and what her death had to do with Quinn.

Palpitant

A right mix of mystery in a background of a mariage préparation .
A very good read

5 stars

I love this series. Lucee and Quin make a great team. I look forward to the next book.

A Fitting storyline of love, human struggles, and intrigue

This book is woven well with all the characters. Mini subplots occur that keeps the book interesting. Current events and challenges like climate change for example. There is the usual murder to solve. Lucee and Quinn relationship progresses as it has in each book. A good book to grab and curl up in a chair with a glass of sweet tea.

A perfect ending…

I have thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful audiobook series. Entertaining, and educating. Best enjoyed with a glass of great wine. Cheers.

Cute story. Disappointing ending.

This series about wine country in Virginia has been interesting. the last 2 books are too political regarding climate change. With the devastation caused by the sheer winds storms, the author had perfect opportunity for the main characters to come to their knees and turn to God. That didn't happen. Even their grandfather couldn't influence them to believe.

Too much propaganda

I listen to books to avoid the every day nonsense of this world. Not interested in the propaganda being promoted. Glad this is the end of the series. I’m moving on to less controversial subjects

Basic

This series of mysteries would be more entertaining if:
• the author didn’t repeat her background information about the various characters by using virtually identical descriptions in every.single.book!
• she spent more time detailing the circumstances around the actual mystery rather than revisiting exhausted character exhausted character descriptions from her previous books in the same series.
