Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Jessica Fletcher is visiting California wine country while doing research for her next book, and 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 heavyweight 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 turns up dead himself from a supposed 'suicide,' Jessica knows that a murderer is on the loose - and with a little help from George, she must try and bottle up a motive for murder from an extensive list of less-than-vintage suspects. Bestselling author Jessica Fletcher travels to the Napa Valley for research, and invites her old friend, Scotland Yard detective George Sutherland, to join her. What they find there is an old Hollywood friend of Jessica's dead from an apparent suicide--and a vintage crop of enemies who suggest to Jessica that something's rotten in wine country.
