REVIEW:
This story takes place in the wine coutry of Northern California. I've never had the pleasure of visiting this part of the country but this book takes me there. The descriptions of the wineries as well as the tourists and the locals who inhabit the area are a very interesting part of the story.
Brody Hawke is sent a letter by his father along with a picture of a brother he never knew existed. The last sentence of the letter tells him, Trust No One. Tori Anderson is the woman who can't let go of her past, and is engaged to a man she knows she can't marry. But one kiss from Brody and her world is changed forever. The web starts spinning as soon as Brody arrives in town. His father has died and someone would just as soon get him out of the picture too. The entire family is involved in this story from Brody's twin brother to Tori's dog. Brody has some insecurities of his own when it comes to women and this comes across as rather refreshing without being wimpy.
This is a good mystery. It kept me guessing right to the end, just letting out little bits of the puzzle to keep it interesting and to keep me intrigued.
EXCELLENT
