Death on the Vine

By: L. Lee Kane

Narrated by: Emily Emerson

Just before high school graduation, Daisy Murphy returns home from a football game and finds her mother standing over her abusive boyfriend’s body - holding a bloody hammer.

In the aftermath, Daisy flees her home and eventually establishes a new life as an expert winemaker in the Central Valley of California. But as hard as she tries to get away from her past, the effects of that horrible night travel with her.

Detective Jake Frisco has unearthed a murder at the vineyard where Daisy is employed as the winery’s expert winemaker. It doesn’t take long to discover Daisy is haunted by her past and carries a heavy burden. It seems that possible involvement in an unsolved murder is part of her life’s baggage.

Does this put Daisy at the top of the suspect’s list? Can he put aside his growing feelings for her and follow the leads in the case, even if they take him straight to her as the murderer? Can Daisy finally face her past and trust the truth she offers the detective will be enough to save her? Will she find the courage to ask for a future beyond the sorrow of her youth - a future filled with love and self-worth?

3 stars

I would have given more stars, but the short chapters were annoying. The plot however is very interesting.

Don't bother!

Very disjointed story. The best part of the book wasthe various wine quotes. Should of returned it.
