“In Wining and Dying, when award-winning vintner Hugh Martin is found dead in his own Niagara wine cellar, very few tears are shed for him. But as the extent of the cad’s loathsome deeds is uncovered, the number of suspects grows. Who hated him enough to kill him – and what will they do to get away with it?” (From the CPO Website)
