Someone is out to destroy the family vineyard - and expose its secrets - in this atmospheric novel from Cynthia Ellingsen, Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Lighthouse Keeper.

Abby Harrington’s family has dedicated their lives to cultivating the family vineyard and collecting vintage wines. But it takes only one night for the priceless collection to vanish, stolen during Abby’s grandparents’ sixtieth anniversary celebration. Then a devastating plane crash leaves her grandfather clinging to life in intensive care.

Desperate to take action, Abby sets out to discover who stole the precious wine - and why. The clues lead her to dark truths about her family she is not prepared to face. Soon Abby begins receiving threatening messages and doubting those closest to her. Making things even more complicated, the attractive doctor who saved her grandfather’s life offers her a shoulder to lean on just as the man she once loved returns to the vineyard.

The more truths Abby is forced to confront, the more her world spins off its axis. Can she unravel the secrets of the past in time to save the vineyard’s future - and her own?

The Winemaker’s Secret

The premise of this story is a good one. The limited drama is low-key. Unfortunately, there was an extreme amount of technical difficulty, in that it kept stopping in approximately chapters 18 and 19 (don’t remember the exact location for sure). It was very distracting, but finally straightened out. Very clean language.

Pretty good

I was hooked and kept listening until the end. The story was a bit wine related yet the mystery kept me going.

The best part was it came free with Kindle unlimited.

Love a good mystery!

I really enjoyed his book and was surprised with the twists and turns. Makes me want to open a vineyard! Great narrator!

Mostly ok, not great

Somewhat predictable but overall interesting storyline. Not a fan of the narrator’s attempt at male voices.

I want to drink wine and spend time with them

I really enjoyed this book. I love wine and actually learned some things. I enjoyed the plot and the interactions of the characters. I want more!
