Wine and punishment

Booklover Sadie Coleman knows that in life as in fiction the right setting can make a world of difference. The small town of Shady Creek Vermont seems like the perfect place to start over after losing her Boston job to a merger and her relationship to her ex's gambling addiction. She's bought and redecorated the old grist mill pub transforming the Inkwell into a cozy spot where tourists and regulars alike can enjoy a pint or a literary-themed cocktail or join one of several book clubs. Little by little Sadie is adjusting to the rhythms of her new home. Fall in Shady Creek is bookmarked by the much-anticipated Autumn Festival complete with a pumpkin catapult competition and pie bake-off. Unfortunately the season also brings an unwelcome visitor-Sadie's ex Eric who's angling for a second chance... Before Sadie can tell Eric to leave he's found dead near the Inkwell. When the local antique shop catches fire on the same night it's clear the town is harboring at least one unsavory character. Now with her Aunt Gilda her friend Shontelle and the pub's patrons all in the mix Sadie must uncover the truth... before a killer declares last call.
