Alcohol is a no-no in the Mennonite community of Hernia, Pennsylvania, but the strange and unexpected events bubbling up in town are enough to make everyone feel a little tipsy. A couple of unprincipled outsiders have bought an old farm at the edge of town, claiming they want to rename the land Grape Expectations and use it to grow fruit. But their real plan is to start a vineyard and open a winery. No one likes the intruders, so everyone's a suspect when Felicia Bacchustelli, the vineyard's co-owner, is found entombed in cement. A new police chief can't solve the crime alone, and soon Magdalena Yoder finds herself on the case - risking her neck with her ear to the grapevine.
