3.5

This was a solid suspense/mystery. Who doesn’t love stories about rich entitled siblings at their family run winery where a special guest shows up in the midst of chaos?

This had a good background to most of the characters and the family mansion/winery.
The twists were good but partially predictable.

Overall this was a good read!

Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing/Grayson House for providing me this free digital ebook in exchange for my honest opinion.
