Taylor O’Brian is a new businesswoman, founder of
“Taylor’s Off The Beaten Path Wine Tours,” who lives on a
small winery with her Aunt Jemma. She plans to take small
groups around romantic Sonoma county to discover some of
the county’s outdoor gardens. It’s all running as smooth
as can be until Laura, the leader of the group of yoga
instructors she’s leading, is found dead. And it’s
Taylor’s corkscrew that’s found buried in Laura’s neck.

She’s not sure who to trust, and everyone around suddenly
seems suspect. Only two weeks after the murder, her very
own administrative assistant, Amy, marries Laura’s
husband, Dan, who doesn’t seem very bereaved about being
widowed, and the three yoga masters who were also out on
the tour begin to seem shady. Taylor can’t afford to jump
ship from her new business endeavor, but just as she
begins her investigation, another dead body surfaces.
This time, it’s Dan’s sister. And the killer is coming
for Taylor next.

Now it’s up to Taylor to uncork this open-bottle mystery,
before more blood is spilled. For fans of Laura Childs
and Ellen Crosby, A Case of Syrah, Syrah is the charming
first in bestselling author Nancy J. Parra’s Wine Country
mysteries.
