    Criminologist Bure moves back to small town to open a craft store. When a local winery owner is killed and a friend is arrested, she is drawn into finding the real killer, assisted by her book club snoops. Her brother Dunne is a cop who tries to keep her out of the investigation. She casts eyes on dreamy fireman Ashmore who is willing to join her in anything she wants him to do. This is a launch of a new series for Bure and the setup has many similarities to her Aurora Teagarden world, right down to the enthusiastic amateur sleuths she gathers around her. She has a more mature look here although it is only a couple of years since she was the peppy librarian with unfailing instincts for crime. It works well with some strong supporting characters and interesting plotting, ultimately turning on a sinister oil company.
