Book 3 in the Walt Fleming series
County sheriff Walt Fleming is a man on the verge of divorce, a presence in the life of his nephew, and the lawman in charge of securing the elite wine sale in Sun Valley. Millions of dollars will be paid for three bottles of wine once owned by John Adams. When Walt discovers a murdered man he detects his way to a complicated plan to steal the wine.
There were so many twists, turns and red herrings that this was a home run for me. There were a lot of interesting subplots that kept me interested on many levels. Not only was Walt a good investigator, but his personal relationships made for great storylines and I loved the way all aspects of his life came together for this mystery.
I picked this up because it was set in Idaho and I didn’t realize that this was part of a series until I was done. I loved this as a standalone, but if you are interested the first of the series is Killer Weekend.
I checked this audio out of the library.

Pearson is another author I want to try. Boy does this sound good.
You are the audio queen lately. Didn’t you love Phil G as a narrator? He is one of my favorites.
He was great! I hate when I forget to mention the narrator.
That is a very high rating!! I’ve never read his books because I often think I wouldn’t enjoy this genre. I’m sure I’m wrong! 😀
I really like Ridley Pearson but I’ve been disappointed with his Walt Fleming series. I don’t remember why! (heh) but I think I just liked his previous series better.
I have a few in this series, but haven’t gotten to them yet. I’m excited that you liked it.
