Murder in the Vineyard: A Hauntingly Historical Mystery - Paperback

by Marci Lynn McGuinness (Author)

Some spirits never leave until a mystery is solved. Six weeks after the Uniontown Speedway board track president ran to Cuba with the money, his attorney, Senator William Crane, passed away. That was 1922. Today at the Christian W. Klay Winery in Chalk Hill, Pennsylvania, the Senator watches out the studio window, waiting to be set free. Marty has worked at the winery for almost two decades, waving to the Senator on the way to her car each evening. This night he spoke. He had never talked to anyone before. She called her cousin, Cedar Jace, and enlisted her help. Who really holds the secret to Crane's freedom? Marci Lynn McGuinness, cleverly weaves Laurel Highland legends, dead and alive, into her fictional tale, Murder in the Vineyard.

Murder in St. Michaels, released last year, is available in print and on Kindle. "Writing mysteries is my favorite. I wrote my first when I was six," she says as she launches her 32nd book in 33 years. "It's about telling stories about the human condition, and teaching a little history along the way," she smiles. "My work has blessed me with an abundance of southwestern Pennsylvania legends. It is up to me to find creative, fun ways to pass them on. Everyone loves a good, clean murder." McGuinness refers to her mystery writing style as "cozy, not gory."
