Murder She Wrote: Blood On The Vine
Donald Bain, Jessica Fletcher
Victim in the Vineyard
Jessica Fletcher is visiting the Napa Valley wine country
while doing research for her next book, and she invites
her old friend, Scotland Yard detective George Sutherland,
to join her at a cozy bed-and-breakfast. No sooner do they
arrive than they find the valley abuzz over the murder of
a waiter at the restaurant owned by infamous ex-Hollywood
heavy-weight Bill Ladington. Ladington's blatant
womanizing and involvement in a bitter vineyard land
dispute have already marked him as a dubious character--
and a possible suspect.
But when Ladington himself turns up dead from a
supposed "suicide," Jessica knows that a murderer is on
the loose--and with a little help from George, she must
try to distill a motive for murder from an extensive list
of less-than-vintage suspects.
