Teaser Tuesday 365: One Foot in the Grape

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

* Grab your current book or recent read.
* Share a few "teaser" sentences from somewhere in the book.
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away. You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title and author so that other participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser!



This week I am featuring book one in a relatively new series set in the California wine region, One Foot in the Grape by Carlene O’Neil.




A simple house rule, ignored once, and I end up with a dead body on my hands. Actually more than one, but I’m getting ahead of myself.

(Opening paragraph, Chapter One)









ABOUT THE BOOK:
Series: Cypress Cove #1

In California wine country, the town of Cypress Cove may seem peaceful. But someone’s about to pop their cork . . . .

After losing her job as a photojournalist, Penny Lively is trying to get her life back in focus. Inheriting the family winery from her late aunt may be the fresh start she needs. Thankfully she’s got her niece Hayley and her handsome winery manager Connor to help. But the person in need of more urgent assistance is Antonia Martinelli, the owner of the neighboring winery, who has her own barrel full of problems. Someone’s spoiling her wine, and with the upcoming Autumn Festival, she needs Penny’s nose for clues to sniff out the culprit.

But Penny’s search for answers sours after the body of a staff member is found in a grape crusher. Since Hayley was the last to see him alive, she’s the prime suspect in the case. Now Penny must hurry to find the real killer before Hayley withers on the vine . . . .
