I enjoyed finishing this latest in Ellen Crosby's Wine Country Mystery series on this snow day/work is closed today 😁. In fact, most of Michigan's lower peninsula is closed today 😂 I always learn something, usually about wine, growing, processing, making etc. This book has an interesting twist connecting the family to the underground railroad. I can't wait to see where this thread of the story goes in the Nextbook! #snowdayreading ❄️📖❤️
