About This Audiobook

Dianne Harman’s *Murdered by Wine* delivers a flavorful twist on cozy mysteries, where the vineyard is as much a character as the victim. Angela Moretti, the Moretti Winery’s celebrated winemaker, is discovered floating in a vat of her own Cabernet—her death as rich and unexpected as the harvest she loved. With wineries brimming with secrets and a cast of suspects as complex as a 20-year-aged Bordeaux, Harman serves up a story steeped in small-town intrigue and family rivalry. The mystery unfolds like a slow fermentation, building tension as the truth ferments beneath the surface, only to explode when the cork’s popped. Fans of series like *Murder She Wrote* will sip this up, but Harman’s sharp dialogue and vivid setting make it a standout.

Narrator Kasey Logan elevates the experience with a voice as smooth as Merlot, balancing warmth with a razor’s edge of suspicion. Her performance breathes life into the Moretti family’s clashing egos and the nosy townsfolk circling like flies around a spilled glass. The pacing is brisk enough to avoid the snooze factor of some cozy mysteries, yet Harman lingers just long enough on the winemaking process to make you crave a virtual vineyard tour. It’s a rare audiobook that makes you feel the heat of the crush pad and the chill of a murder investigation in equal measure.

Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I started *Murdered by Wine* expecting a light, wine-themed cozy mystery, but Harman’s sharp prose and Logan’s pitch-perfect narration turned it into something far more satisfying. Logan’s voice work is the star here—she nails the sly, understated humor of the local gossip mill while also conveying the grittier moments of investigation with real gravitas. Angela’s death isn’t just a plot device; Harman writes her as a fully realized character, making her murder feel personal rather than just another mystery trope. The small-town California setting, with its wineries and rival families, is so vividly drawn I half-expected to smell grapes through my headphones. That said, the ending wraps up a touch too neatly for my taste—some loose ends feel tied up with a ribbon rather than a knot—but Harman’s dialogue and Logan’s delivery kept me engaged enough to overlook it. The audiobook’s 4-hour runtime flies by thanks to Logan’s lively pacing and Harman’s knack for sharp, scene-stealing one-liners. If you’re a cozy mystery fan who’s tired of the same old tea-and-scones formula, *Murdered by Wine* is a refreshing pour of poison and passion.
