I really learned a lot about the history of Virginia wine, wine making, grapes, etc. That's great. I live in Virginia and that was one of the reasons why I thought the book would be interesting to read/hear. The main reason I was interested in the book was the MURDER. By the end of this story if the narrator/main character had been killed I would have been happy and she would have deserved it for being stupid. The people of Virginia are slow southerns, with accents from Gone with the Wind. While the main character has lived in France for the last two years, so of course she is smarter than everyone else. Yet, she never has any idea what is going on? The book doesn't end, it just stops. I looked up Ellen Crosby and she did write additional books. Neither this site nor my library offers audiobooks. So maybe the MURDER part of the books got better. Like I said the wine part and the Virginia history was excellent. The southern accents were awful. August 7, 2010, Middleburg, Virginia.
