Pinot Red or Dead?

Pre-order purchase link 

It's nearing the holiday time and the wineries around Seneca Lake, New York, are preparing for "Deck the Halls around the Lake", a wine tasting festival. In Pinot Red or Dead? by J.C. Eaton, Two Witches Winery owner Norrie Ellington jumps right in to assist her staff in what sounds like a fantastic event. (Pinot Red or Dead? will be published by Kensington Publishing on March 26.)

Everyone is in an uproar when they learn a shipment of Pinot Noir from the wineries on the east side of the lake has been  hijacked from the distributor's truck. The hijackers made off with 40 cases of wine from four different wineries. This news on top of the distributor's decision to lower their compensation schedule has everyone upset.

When the west side of the lake sees vandalism on some of their Pinot Noir barrels, spoiling the wine inside, Norrie knows it is time to put down her screenplays and figure out the read mystery.

When she stumbles across the body of Arnold Mowen, owner of

Lake-To-Lake Distributors between Two Witches Winery and neighboring Grey Egret Winery, everyone becomes a suspect. To everyone's shock and surprise, Arnold's attorney announces that Arnold wanted his will read 29 days after his death at midnight in the Two Witches Winery.

When a wide range of people claim to be the heir to Lake-to-Lake Distributors, including Arnold's girlfriend Lavettia; Miller Holtz, sales rep; Clayton Levine, the secretary; and three nuns from local convent.

An entertaining mystery with a splash of red wine for impact.
