It's harvest season in Sainte-Catherine, which means helping out with the local vineyard, sipping on wine and soaking up the scorching sun. But when a peaceful week turns deadly, only amateur sleuth Zoe Pascal can solve the case!

As summer draws to a close in the south of France, bookshop owner Zoe Pascal is helping with this year's grape harvest. Surrounded by the soft green hills of Sainte-Catherine, Zoe has spent the last week working on her friend Marcel Maurice's vineyard.
