Books like Blood on the vine by Donald Bain
While researching her next book, Jessica Fletcher visits the Napa Valley wine country and invites her old friend, Scotland Yard detective George Sutherland, to stay at a local bed and breakfast. Their arrival coincides with word that a waiter at Bill Ladington’s restaurant has been murdered. Ladington—an infamous ex-Hollywood heavyweight—has been embroiled in a bitter vineyard land dispute and is known for his womanizing, making him a suspect right from the start. When Ladington himself is found dead under the guise of suicide, Fletcher knows a murderer is on the loose. With Sutherland’s help, she must sift through a list of less-than-vintage suspects to uncover the true culprit.
