Murder in the Wine Country by Janet Finsilver – Blog Tour

Synopsis:

Weeding out killers wasn’t part of the job description . . .

Kelly Jackson, manager of the Redwood Cove Bed and Breakfast, is excited to participate in an event to raise awareness for the plight of struggling veterans in their Northern California coastal community. Local wineries are sponsoring tastings, and to prepare for a culinary competition, professional chefs will forage for wild edible greens. Kelly plans to come along, despite a warning to beware of poachers, who have been stealing the highly valued succulent Dudleya farinosa. The senior sleuths who call themselves the Silver Sentinels join forces with environmental activists known as the Succulent Saviors to thwart the poaching operation. When a consultant for the sale of a local winery is murdered, the poachers are suspected—but so is a wine merchant, Kelly’s friend Phil. As Kelly and the Silver Sentinels attempt to root out the real killer, what she digs up might just put her permanently underground . . .

I was very happy to visit with Kelly and her friends once again in the latest Kelly Jackson mystery. Murder in the Wine Country finds Kelly prepping for a competition for a good cause. After some less than scrupulous people become involved, Kelly’s friend ends up accused of murder and of course, she must investigate.

This is another great mystery but as usual with this series, Kelly and the Silver Sentinels are my favorite part. Kelly is a clever sleuth who does what she needs to in order to track down the killer but is never too reckless. Her friends are all well-developed and unique, and they make a great team.

Murder in the Wine Country is book #6 in the Kelly Jackson mystery series. You can jump right in at this point without feeling at all lost – there is enough backstory that you will be able to get the relationships between the characters with no trouble.
