Grape Expectations
Tamar Myers
Includes recipes!
Alcohol is a no-no in the Mennonite community of Hernia,
Pennsylvania, but the strange and unexpected events
bubbling up in town are enough to make everyone feel a
little tipsy. A couple of unprincipled outsiders have
bought an old farm at the edge of town, saying they want to
rename the land Grape Expectations and use it to grow
fruit. But their real plan is to start a vineyard and open
a winery. The intruders aren’t welcome, so everyone’s a suspect when
Felicia Bacchustelli, the manager of the vineyard, is found
entombed in cement. A new and inexperienced police chief
can’t solve the crime alone, and soon Magdalena Yoder finds
herself on the case—risking her neck with her ear to the
grapevine...
