Fun details about California wine making lost in weird, ritualistic sex and murder. End tied things up too tightly and too quickly for me, happily ever after, but a fast read.

This book was merely okay. When the remains of a baby, long dead, are found in a vineyard, the mystery looks promising. How will it all connect to Alex and her mother? But what starts as promising eventually falls flat, because the characters never grow enough to carry it. Alex and Reed spend a lot of time in bed, but we don’t get much of an opportunity to see them in non-intimate situations. Their relationship in the book would have greatly benefited from some sexual tension and build-up. And, for me, too many pieces of the mystery didn’t hold together. It ended up a big jumble of events. I tend to run hot and cold on Spindler, and this one left me cold.

Really enjoyed this book by Erica Spindler, first book I have read of hers and I will be sure to read more. The story gripped me from the start and I found it hard to put the book down. Fantastic twist at the end, didn't see that coming. Fantastic!
