A Sydney McGrath Mystery (1st in series)
Publisher: Barrel Aged Publishing
Price: $3.99 (as of 01/12/2016 at 4:30 PM ET).
Sydney McGrath has a tempestuous relationship with her uncle Clarence at the best of times. Although he raised her alone since she was five, the death of her parents and her interest to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a wine maker festers into an unsurpassable rift between them as she grows into a woman.
Still, the phone call is a shock.
Clarence Blackwell is found dead in a vat of fermenting red wine by his inscrutable assistant winemaker, Olivier Ruiz. Clarence was no careless winemaker; he was the first to remind anyone in the winery about the dangers of CO2 asphyxiation during Crush.
Sydney returns home to Blackwell Winery in chaos, grapes are delivered and Crush moves forward at full speed. She throws herself into the work of making wine side by side with the intriguing assistant wine maker. He is oddly familiar to her, yet his reasons for coming to Blackwell's remain an alluring mystery.
Soon, Sydney and her best friend Charlie are tangled up in Clarence's past; a quagmire of insurance claims, winery buy-outs and professional jealousy, not to mention old cancerous feuds. The body is even more disturbing. Stained purple by the wine, Sydney discovers something the police missed. His body is tainted in an unworthy finish. Murder.
Now she must work with the local Sheriff to uncover the mystery of Clarence's death while enduring the growing suspicions that she herself is in grave danger.
