Ripe for Murder

From the author of One Foot in the Grape--a new full-bodied Cypress Cove mystery that is certain to delight, even if one wine lover is about to expire...

Penny Lively loves running her family's winery, but to keep business growing, she needs to find a way to attract more guests.

So Penny, who's become a sleuthing connoisseur, starts sniffing out the real suspect--and discovers that her fellow potential investors have been savoring more than their share of deadly secrets...
