Murder by the Glass / A Vineyard Cozy Mystery

Vineyard events planner Ivy knows how to stage a fake murder. She does not know how to explain a real corpse in the barrel room.

At Briar & Vine Estate, events planner Ivy Hart knows how to manage demanding guests, last-minute disasters, and the occasional goat yoga brunch gone terribly wrong. But when she hosts a luxurious mystery-themed wine tasting weekend, the last thing she expects is a real murder.

The evening begins with candlelit tastings, theatrical clues, and guests eager to solve a fake crime. Then celebrated sommelier Julian Vale raises his glass for a toast—and collapses dead in the vineyard cellar.

With no weapon, no obvious suspect, and a room full of guests hiding secrets behind polished smiles, Ivy must untangle old grudges, family scandals, and cryptic tasting notes that may point directly to the killer.

As fog rolls through the vines and suspicion spreads across Briar & Vine, Ivy discovers that everyone came to the vineyard pretending to be someone else.

And someone is willing to kill to keep the truth buried.

Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries filled with atmospheric settings, eccentric suspects, wine-country charm, and slow-burn suspense, Murder by the Glass is a deliciously twisty mystery where every pour hides a secret.
