Someone is out to destroy the family vineyard - and expose its secrets - in this atmospheric novel from Cynthia Ellingsen, Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Lighthouse Keeper.

Abby Harrington’s family has dedicated their lives to cultivating the family vineyard and collecting vintage wines. But it takes only one night for the priceless collection to vanish, stolen during Abby’s grandparents’ sixtieth anniversary celebration. Then a devastating plane crash leaves her grandfather clinging to life in intensive care.

Desperate to take action, Abby sets out to discover who stole the precious wine - and why. The clues lead her to dark truths about her family she is not prepared to face. Soon Abby begins receiving threatening messages and doubting those closest to her. Making things even more complicated, the attractive doctor who saved her grandfather’s life offers her a shoulder to lean on just as the man she once loved returns to the vineyard.

The Winemaker’s Secret

The premise of this story is a good one. The limited drama is low-key. Unfortunately, there was an extreme amount of technical difficulty, in that it kept stopping in approximately chapters 18 and 19 (don’t remember the exact location for sure). It was very distracting, but finally straightened out. Very clean language.

Pretty good

I was hooked and kept listening until the end. The story was a bit wine related yet the mystery kept me going.

The best part was it came free with Kindle unlimited.

Love a good mystery!

I really enjoyed his book and was surprised with the twists and turns. Makes me want to open a vineyard! Great narrator!

I want to drink wine and spend time with them

I really enjoyed this book. I love wine and actually learned some things. I enjoyed the plot and the interactions of the characters. I want more!

Not a page turner

A good time filler but it did not keep me on the edge of my seat. The writing lacked hyperboles and I did not feel like I was in the landscape or part of the characters. That being said, it wasn’t that great. Oh, and the plot was predictable

Winemakers Secrets!

I happened upon this book by accident and am I ever glad that I had the opportunity to read this book (audio)! I hope that more of her books will be put into the audio format because I have been an avid reader for many years and now require audio books. This book was absolutely wonderful! It kept me in suspense right up to the end and I enjoyed the characters and how the author built each one and let the reader feel like they knew them and felt the heart break, the love of family, the support of not only the family members but the people that worked in the winery. When talking about the wines I felt like I was right there tasting them and savoring the flavors. This is one of my most favorite Cozy Mysteries I have ever read! The writing was superb! I would highly recommend this book to anyone that is interested in cozy mysteries and/or romances! This is a great read! Thank you to the author for such a wonderful book! I hope to read many more of her books.

I'm still in shock!

Wow! This was a really good read and real page turner. I can't believe I didn't figure it out because I so should have. Ugh! There'll be no spoilers here though, get a copy and see for yourself.

predictable

The story was good but predictable. The narration sounded robotic or computerized at times. I had a hard time listening and almost switched to just reading it myself.

Family, intrigue, hope

This was an excellent story. It held my interest with it' twists and turns. Highly recommend

Loved the suspense

The family relationships are very realistic and interesting. I wish there was a prequel to this story….
