This is the second book I have read by this author-the first being Fair Disclosure Click on the link and see what I had to say--yes, I liked it! This is another great mystery which I had trouble putting down once I started reading it. There are 2 more books in this series I have not yet read-but had no trouble at all reading this as a stand alone.
Brynn Bancroft and one of her co-workers had been brutally attacked by a former employee where they work. They have just been informed that the woman has been seen back in the area. Brynn, who is getting ready to leave her job for another one is also trying to help her ex husband start his winery. This was an amicable divorce and they have remained very good friends.
When the stalker manages to get into Brynn's home things to heat up. How does this woman know Brynn's whereabouts? Will Brynn be able to put her past behind her and learn what emotions are. Will she end up in Alabama or will she opt for working at the winery? You know I'm going to leave you hanging and yes I really really think you should read this book-the entire series actually. I do have two more I have to get my hands on!!
NEW RELEASE.....

Joyce Strand, much like her fictional character Jillian Hillcrest, served as head of corporate communications at several biotech and high-tech companies in Silicon Valley for more than 25 years. Unlike Jillian, however, she did not encounter murder in her career. She focused on writing articles and press releases and delivering presentations to publicize her companies.
Joyce has been a mystery fan since she read her first Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy stories as a teen-ager. She has always enjoyed the challenge of following clues to solve a mystery before it is revealed. Therefore Joyce relished the transition from writing press releases to writing fiction.
Joyce received her Ph.D. from The George Washington University, Washington, D.C. and her B.A. from Dickinson College, Carlisle, PA. She lives with her two cats in Southern California near San Diego.

About Brynn Bancroft
Brynn Bancroft evolved from the Jillian Hillcrest mysteries where she served as Jillian’s manager while Chief Financial Officer of Harmonia Therapeutics in Silicon Valley. A shapely blonde with a MENSA IQ, she had an affair with the CEO of the company. Unfortunately for Brynn, the CEO’s wife figured out that the two were involved and asked Brynn to leave the company, which she agreed to do. In the meantime, her husband, Liam—not unfamiliar with extramarital affairs himself but also understanding that Brynn grew up in an abusive household- grew tired of waiting for Brynn to commit to their relationship and asked for a divorce. At the same time, he solicited her assistance in developing his new winery in Sonoma County, Calif. Much like Jillian--who does appear in the Brynn Bancroft mysteries--Brynn, too, attracts mystery and murders as she grows to enjoy life at her ex-husband’s Hilltop Sunset Winery.
