A fragrant field, a festival in full swing… and a banker about to take their last breath. The vineyards of Vista del Vino are buzzing with excitement for the annual wine and food festival, but when a local banker is found dead in the middle of a picturesque lavender farm, the celebration takes a deadly turn. Former investigative journalist Casey Nolan thought she was trading high-stakes reporting for a quieter life in wine country. But trouble just has a way of finding her. With her teenage son, Liam, back in school, Casey's new investigative partner is none other than Ranger, Liam’s ever-loyal diabetic alert dog, who proves he’s just as skilled at sniffing out clues as he is at detecting wonky blood sugar. As Casey peels back layers of small-town secrets, she discovers a web of financial intrigue that could shake Vista del Vino to its core. Between balancing single motherhood, writing her novel, and serving as taste-tester for her mother’s latest gluten-free culinary creations, Casey’s got her hands full. But when the killer gets too close for comfort, Casey must act fast before someone else takes their last breath. Lavender’s Last Breath offers a heart-warming blend of mystery, found family, and mouth-watering recipes, perfect for fans of cozy culinary whodunits.
