The Full Grape Expectations Cozy Mystery Series Collection
(2025)(A book in the Grape Expectation Mystery series)
A collection of stories by Maisy Marple and Wendy Winchester
Uncork the mystery, savor the suspense!
Join former New York publishing executive Vivian Barnes as she trades the hustle of the city for a second act as a vintner in the charming town of Prose Valley. But when her grand opening is spoiled by the murder of the region's most feared wine critic, Vivian discovers she has a nose for more than just fine wine.
Across six delightful mysteries, follow Vivian and her crime-solving orange tabby, Shakespeare, as they investigate murders that shake their picturesque wine country community to its core:
• In Corks and Corpses, a literary-themed wine tasting turns deadly when a harsh critic is found with a corkscrew in his back.
• Murder Most Merlot sees competition turn cutthroat when a renowned wine judge is found face-down in a vat of the very vintage she was meant to judge.
• Death by the Bookcase combines Vivian's love of wine and rare books when a valuable discovery leads to murder in her new bookshop.
• Cabernet Conspiracy uncorks a complex plot of poisoned glasses and tainted competition.
• The Silence of the Casks reveals how sound can enhance wine's flavor—or silence a victim permanently.
• A Very Vintage Vendetta brings the series to a satisfying conclusion as century-old secrets bubble to the surface during Prose Valley's inaugural Literary Vintages Festival.
With each case, Vivian's Mystery Mavens grow from a book club disguised as detectives into the town's respected investigators, while her relationship with Detective Marcus Reynolds deepens like a well-aged vintage.
Perfect for fans of wine country settings, literary references, and feline detectives with a knack for finding crucial clues, the Grape Expectations collection offers a full-bodied blend of cozy mysteries that will leave you thirsty for more.
