When the body of a young winemaker is discovered during the grape harvest, Kate Cimaglia has no idea there’s a connection between the dead girl and her latest assignment to straighten out the California wine grape harvest database. The last thing Kate needs is a corpse to deal with. She already has narcotics Detective Obermeyer hounding her after a stand of marijuana plants is discovered near her vineyard, and she’s sure her low-life neighbor is the culprit.

On top of that, her lying, cheating ex, Roger, shows up after ten years and wants to pick up where things left off… yeah, like that’s going to happen, especially now that Kate is convinced Roger is the Grass Valley sniper taking potshots at passing cars in the middle of the night.

To make matters worse, she can’t balance the records she’s been hired to fix and it turns out she’s uncovered a massive case of fraud.

And then there’s Kate’s vineyard manager, Andy Carmichael, who must have been in the chiseled-jaw line when God was handing out charm. The two of them didn’t hit it off from the start, and Kate’s not sure they ever will.

When Kate finally unravels the mystery of who forged millions of dollars worth of Zinfandel grapes, she discovers that the dead winemaker figured it out, too. If Kate doesn’t want to suffer the same fate, she has to act fast to save herself.

5,0 su 5 stelle Deserves to be savored
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 13 aprile 2012
Acquisto verificato
This is a marvelously, satisfying book. One of the best mysteries I have read in a long time. It respects its readers by doing only one brief recap of the questions needing answers. It deserves to be savored, like the wines made from the grapes of the region the author's characters talk about. But, here is the only complaint I have, that I couldn't put it down in order to make it last. The action just keeps up a nice pace building towards the end. The characters stay true to themselves thoughout. There is humor and quirkiness and life on a vineyard with a menagerie of domesicated and wild critters. It's "Grapes 101" with enough detail that I learned more than I knew about the grape/wine business before. When it ended I smiled a satisfied smile and immediately looked for the next one to keep these characters in my life. For this book I will break a life habit of never re-reading the same book. "Sinfandel", I look forward to starting and journeying through again.

5,0 su 5 stelle Highly enjoyable and highly recommended

A murder mystery thriller, set in the Californian winegrowing region, with a lover of horses, dogs, cats, but not raccoons, up to her eyes in grapes, debt and databases. Oh and there's an attractive man as well as various nutcases all trying to get to know her better!

There are plenty of twists and turns in this enjoyable romp through the vineyards, and plenty of danger as well as misdirection. It's well written, with believable and engaging characters. I love the idea of the heroine uncovering a sophisticated fraud whilst trying to debug some databases. It was nice to get some inside information on the trials and tribulations of wine growers, enough to put any dream of retiring to a little vineyard right out of my mind! It's a story that appeals to the person that enjoys details as well as a fast paced puzzle.

Highly enjoyable and highly recommended.

4,0 su 5 stelle A Heroine with Brains
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 9 luglio 2012

This is a well crafted cozy that features the wine-growing region of the San Joquin Valley as its backdrop. I enjoyed the fact that the protagonist, Kate, earns her own living as a computer consultant and is hoping to make a success of her vineyard. The farming aspects of the wine industry were well-developed here because, in in end, grapes are a crop subject to the caprice of Mother Nature.

I liked the fact that Kate doesn't constantly put herself in harm's way and actually calls both the sheriff and the highway patrol to report her suspicions. Her own investigation for the State of California does put her in peril but she doesn't take unnecessary chances or risks to solve the case. She keeps the professionals in the loop.

The reason I downrated this review by one star was for the rushed ending. I am sure that Ms. Cresse intends to offer more books in this series, and I wasn't surprised to see quite a few avenues for her to explore. I was disappointed that the core mystery of this book was glossed over at the end. Certainly the scope of the fraud signaled several participants, but the reader actually learns very little. We have one person to blame and no explanation at all. One additional chapter to tie up some loose ends (or at least let us know that this is an on-going investigation that will be dealt with later) would have made this a more satisfying read.

I will continue to read more books if the series progresses because I liked the heroine and her animals and think the interplay between the consulting business and the vineyard will be enjoyable and enlightening.

For once, those five star reviews are right! This is an well plotted, well written chick mystery set in the "lesser" wine country of California. The author has created an interesting mix of wine, computers, horses, raccoons, and incipient romance. The heroine is a novice vineyard owner and the plot has to do with the fraudulent sale of grapes -- something I'd never even knew existed. The implied romance comes in the form of the hunky neighbor she hires as her vineyard manager. The heroine's ongoing conflict with a family of raccoons who steal her cat food is worth reading on its own merits. Best of all, the author can really write, and the text is free of the annoying formatting and spelling errors which plague many Kindle editions.

This isn't great literature, but it's a good read. I intend to look for the author's other books.
