Cursed Vineyard

Quinta da Maldição has always had a reputation — for exquisite port, whispering vines, and the small matter of an old family curse. But when intrepid food and wine journalist Sybil Harcourt arrives in Portugal for a symposium, she uncovers something far less palatable than folklore: corporate sabotage, buried secrets, and, eventually… a body in a barrel.With local loyalties fraying and the vineyard's future on the line, Sybil must navigate a tangle of old grievances, vintage lies, and one particularly stubborn matriarch to get to the truth. Preferably without ruining her shoes. Or her career.Witty, warm, and steeped in atmosphere, The Vineyard Vanishes is a mystery for lovers of slow-sipped suspense, sharp-tongued heroines, and endings with just the right amount of tannin.
