No resolution
17 Oct 2009
Format:Hardcover
After finishing this book and thinking about the total story, I was dismayed that nothing was resolved. The villian wasn't caught, the brother (not even sure of why he was introduced) did not grow as a character, Lucie showed more emotion over a situation that couldn't be resolved then the loss of grapes and even the potential loss of her entire years production of Riesling (which I may add you don't know if it was fixed or not). It seemed like this author got tired and ended the book, ever corner she backed herself into she conveniently changed the scene. It was a very unsatisfying read for me.

There Is Always Another Skeleton In The Closet
10 Mar 2010
Format:Hardcover
After a tornado barrels across the Montgomery Vineyards, Lucy soon discovers a skull in the muddy trench left in the wake of the destruction. Unfortunately, it's not just any skull. With so many things currently going on, Quinn and Chance, a new addition to the Vineyard, are at odds, an apparent thief after any credit card they can get their hands on, and Civil War aficionados reenacting the 1861 Battle of Bull's Bluff on her property, this is truly the last thing that she needs. Lucy must once again dive back into the family closet and soon sets out to discover which "skeleton" this is.
Could Lucy's much beloved father really have been responsible for the death or is that just want people to believe about man that the town loved to hate, or does this mystery go deeper?
In this rich blend of southern charm and lovable characters, Crosby once again brings to life the day in and day out conflicts that Lucy Montgomery must deal with in an attempt to bring a well bodied wine to the table.
Though this book could be read as an independent, it's best to start at the beginning to fully understand Lucy, her injury and her deep need to bring back the vineyard to it 's once pristine condition.

A bit thin with a poor finish
25 Feb 2010
Format:Hardcover
This is the 4th in Wine Country series of cozy mysteries. The series features Lucie Montgomery who has settled into the family's Virginia estate and taken over the vineyard that her parents had started when Lucie was a child. Now in her late twenties Lucie has struggled with her own problems during the earlier novels in the series, the loss of her parents, the physical aftermath of a car accident, her love life (or lack thereof) as well as the day to day struggle to keep the family vineyard going despite the occasional dead body or two that appear. As this latest installment opens Lucie is caught out on the estate by a rare Virginia tornado, although she manages to escape relatively unscathed the twister has uncovered a skeleton. The investigation of these bones leads to revealing a few skeletons in the family's past and present. As if this is not enough for Lucie to cope with she is also faced with problems among the Winery's work force, yet more family troubles and, once again Lucie has problems in the romance department.
There is a reasonable strong overall arc to this series so for maximum enjoyment it would be best to read these in order beginning with The Merlot Murders. As is often the case with cozy mysteries the true appeal here is with the subplots concerning Lucie's personal life and those of her family and friend. There will undoubtedly be a fifth in this series, or at least it is strongly hoped that there will be because there are many loose ends left with this one.
