Lucie Montgomery gets a phone call from her brother -- their father has died in a hunting accident.  Lucie heads home for the funeral and ... discovers the family vineyard, home and winery in a poor state.  Lucie refuses to believe her father's death was an accident, wants to restore the vineyard and not sell it as her brother insists they need to do immediately.

In the notebook listing this year's books listened to and read, this book (like 013) also has a thumbs down drawing next to it, a 3 for the story and a "2.8 or less" for the narration.  **sigh**
It is an interesting book and like many others before, if I ever decide to give it a second listen, I may actually decide I do like it.  But for now, it remains on the "unlikely to listen to a second time."  (I've got some other wine country books to share at a later date that you might enjoy more if wine country and vineyard info are some of the things you are interested in ...)
