 I'm going to miss this tour group May 17, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
4+ Stars. First in the Booked for Travel Series. Lynne Montgomery is leading a tour group through the Sonoma Valley. Each member seems to have their own story so there are multiple lines to follow. After a contentious purchasing of a vineyard in Sonoma Valley, Lance Belladuce is found dead. There is more than one person that wanted this young man dead but who actually did it and why. I really enjoyed this book, though the end did come abruptly and I had already discounted the person who was actually the murder. Guess you can never tell.
 Confusing Ending March 4, 2006

I liked the sleuth, but I just plain thought the ending made no sense. While I don't mind not figuring it out until the sleuth does, I like it to make sense in retrospective. This did NOT. In addition, it was depressing because you feel so sorry for the little kid.
 Murder in the California wine country April 22, 2004
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a great first book in a new mystery series! The setting is the wine country of Sonoma County, California. Lynne Montgomery is a travel agent who is personally leading a tour group through a week of wineries, picnics, and hot air balloons in the gorgeous wine country. On the first morning of the tour, a dead body is found on the premises of the winery where the group is staying. As other reviewers have noted, the mystery itself is well done and leads to a satisfying conclusion.The unravelling of this story reminded me very much of Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express", in the way that the reader learns more about the possible suspects bit by bit. I loved the ensemble cast, and the author did a great job of fleshing out the characters. Ms. Toll also did a fantastic job of describing the Sonoma County area. I lived there 20 years ago, and reliving her place descriptions added to my enjoyment of the book. All in all, a wonderful read that makes me anticipate more book in this series!
Nice setting, nice cast June 16, 2003

This book is set in the wine country north of San Francisco, and you will learn a fair amount of presumably accurate stuff about wine, history, and geography, enough to make you want to visit the area yourself.The cast of characters is large but well depicted. On the whole neither the police nor the amateur sleuth/tour-guide achieve much with their detection until the sudden denouement explains all. Still, a pretty enjoyable read throughout, and there are enough clues that you might solve the case ahead of them.

This book kept you reading. The ending wasn't expected. I would recommend this book.
