One dead critic. One innocent man. And twenty-eight hours to save a friend.
When caustic wine reviewer Trixie Thorne collapses at Erie Bluff’s inaugural wine festival, the police chief — juggling budgets and hungry for a quick win — targets George Fenn, a gentle, mushroom-obsessed introvert with a grudge and the wrong fungi. It looks like an easy case. Too easy for the people who truly know George.
With the system stumbling and the clock running down, Piper Merriwether — a guarded newcomer — teams up with her fiercely loyal aunt Dottie, a young constable, and his occasionally-retired K-9 partner. Together they sift through gossip, vineyard rivalries, and the polite façades of a town that prefers its secrets neatly corked.
In Erie Bluff, secrets simmer, loyalties matter, and one untimely death can unearth wounds the town tried to bury.
Because here, the truth matters — and so do the people willing to stand by a friend.
The first heart-forward mystery in the Eh! Team Mysteries.
