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.

I really enjoyed this book. A fast easy read. Woman owns a vineyard and harvests grapes to be sold and contracts out as a bookkeeping consultant to the state's overseers of the winemakers. While investigating why zinfandel inventories for the state that are being sold don't add up to the grapes harvest, she's dealing with the police because of a dead body found on her property, a new handsome foreman, money problems, paroled neighbors, and a family of raccoons raiding her barn.
