Welcome to Nelson County
All of us here in the county hope you enjoy your visit,
and we invite you to try our very own
Un-Oaked Chardonnay
a nice little local wine… with body.
Lois Bramley will admit unabashedly to being a flawed human being. She rushes in where angels fear to tread, and not always for the best reasons; just ask her friend, Jake Maywood. Not too long ago, she got him to drive the getaway truck when she committed a crime (in Nelson County Mystery, the first book in the Nelson County series), and now Lois may lead other friends down even slipperier slopes when she gets tangled up with a winery-based money-laundering scheme.
Lois wants to be a winemaker, and she will have to learn patience, among other things. She has a chance of succeeding with her winery because the wines of Nelson County have been ‘discovered’ by wine lovers. Wine-making competition is heating up, and when the body of a rival vigneron is discovered in an unusual place, Lois may be in for the biggest lesson of her life. She may have a hard time staying out of trouble, or even out of danger. Not all of the people she is meeting as she embarks on her new career as a winemaker are what she thinks they are, and one of them may be a killer.
The Hub Restaurant serves up good food, and better gossip. The policeman is a resident of the local Indian Reservation. Newcomers to the village of Wellesley include a runaway bride, an artfully unshaven winemaker, a mysterious vigneron, five strangely reticent vineyard workers, a sinister man in a large black SUV, and a mischievous furry fellow. Lois and Jake, along with Harold and the band chief, as well as the regulars at The Hub Restaurant, find that things are changing in Nelson County.
