Merlot and Murder

Written by M. S. Peke

Narrated by Mandy Drinkall

The wrong vintage can be deadly.

A mysterious blonde in a supercar, a wine competition gone horribly wrong, and disappearing owls. Winnie Hackleshack’s week of spas, wine, and relaxation takes a back seat as she searches for a killer.

After another narrow escape at Glacier National Park, Winnie Hackleshack needed a break, so when her sister offered a vacation at a resort in Napa, California, she couldn’t refuse. But after arriving, Winnie’s quest to eat, drink, and be pampered got sidetracked when she’s asked to be a guest judge at a wine competition. After the judge next to her dies, and she gets sick, Winnie gets suspicious. The deeper she digs, the more she’s convinced it wasn’t an accident. It was murder.

While she continues to investigate the judge’s death, barn owls are disappearing, and local wineries employ a university to find out why. A researcher is found dead under mysterious circumstances, her documents missing. Winnie knows the deaths are related, and when the local sheriff refuses to investigate, it’s up to Winnie to find the killer. Before she’s the next victim.
