Money, murder, and family secrets collide in the vineyards of British Columbia's Okanagan Valley. Jessica Sanderson and Mike Lyons are building a new life in wine country, but trouble is never far away. With No Regrets Winery struggling financially and wildfires threatening the region, Mike takes on another consulting job at On the Edge Winery, a picturesque family vineyard perched high above Okanagan Lake. Then tragedy strikes. Winemaker Damien Crawford dies when his tractor plunges over a cliff. Initially ruled a horrific accident, his death takes a sinister turn when new evidence suggests someone may have deliberately caused the crash. As RCMP Corporal Caitlin Smith digs deeper, financial problems, dangerous connections, and bitter family tensions begin to surface. Someone close to Damien had plenty to gain from his death-and plenty to hide. Naturally, Jessica's curiosity draws her into the investigation, with her keen-nosed Mexi-mutt, Sparky, never far behind.
SMASHED is a fast-moving mystery filled with wine-country intrigue, family secrets, humor, romance, and murder.
