Catherine D’Agostino reels you in with Tangled Vines from the get-go and doesn’t let up. I finished it in less than 24 hours because I just couldn’t put it down. The twists, turns, and surprises keep you guessing, and the way she presents the characters makes you feel like you’re right there in Sassafras with them. She even manages to teach you a little about the intricacies of winemaking along the way, which was pretty cool. I’m telling you… read this book!

Excellent mystery! I tried my hardest to predict who did it, and while I was on the right track for some clues, I couldn't do it. Great reveal and a great job tangling all the vines through all of the involved families.
