Vineyard of Lies - Paperback

by Deborah R. Dakins (Author)

A ruined career. An escape to the vineyards of Italy. A death that changes everything.

Journalist Gina Pagliaro never expected to lose her place in the tight-knit Idaho wine community. But after a scandal leaves her reputation in tatters, an invitation to tour Italy's island vineyards comes just in time. She jumps at the chance to escape the gossip-and maybe herself.

Amid the colorful pastels of Positano and the stunning seascapes of the Bay of Naples, Gina's beginning to embrace the sweet life when a fellow traveler plunges to their death. Something about the accident doesn't add up, and Gina can't let it go.

Her digging puts Gina at odds with the local police inspector, her closest friend, and her budding romance with an Italian winemaker. Pursuing the truth also forces Gina to confront her own past. She must make a choice: Protect the fragile new bonds she's forming, or risk everything to solve the mystery.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Italy's southern coast, Vineyard of Lies features an unforgettable amateur sleuth in a tale that brims with intrigue, betrayal, and unexpected love.

Fans of romantic mysteries set in Italy, cozy mysteries with travel, and wine tour murder mysteries will savor every twist in this journey of friendship, redemption, and the places we find home.
