About this listen

The body of a vintner is found among the vines at the renowned Fauchér Winery, a corkscrew lodged deeply in his throat. The primary suspect - Jessica Fauchér, heiress to the winery fortune, The San Francisco law firm of Jacobs, Felder, and Smith takes on the task of representing the young heiress and Steve Daniels, who works for them as an investigator, is assigned the task of determining her guilt or innocence. Is she a cold-blooded murderer or just a victim of circumstance? Will the revelations Steve uncovers about her past foreshadow an even darker future? And, will Steve get caught in the web of lies that is being spun around him?

Tainted Wine is the second book in the Steve Daniels Mystery Series by USA Today Bestselling Author, Linda Watkins. Set in the early 1950s, the book recalls a different time, when men were men and women, well, they were something else!

Critic reviews

"A page-turning mystery. With the blunt and declarative storytelling style of classic noir pulp, and the sharp tête-à-tête of cleverly crafted dialogue, readers are quickly immersed in the bold attitudes, old-fashioned language, and nostalgic mood of the 1950s. Tainted Wine is a quick read, but also an exhilarating one." Self-Publishing Review
