The fifth Wine Country mystery puts Virginia winemaker Lucie Montgomery in Washington, DC at cherry blossom time. She's supposed to meet an old friend, but Rebecca never shows up; the next morning, police ask Lucie to identify Rebecca's clothes, neatly folded in a canoe floating down the Potomac River. Along with Rebecca, a price antique silver wine cooler, dating to the War of 1812, has also disappeared. How are the two connected – and is Rebecca's disappearance suicide, murder, or something else?

JUNE DELICATE BUT DEADLY CLUB SELECTION

bonesofcontention.jpg Jeanne Matthews, BONES OF CONTENTION
Poisoned Pen, $24.95 (signed first edition)
This first book in a new series introduces Dinah Pelerin, a would-be anthropologist from Australia. Her wealthy and eccentric American uncle has called all the members of his extended family to a remote lodge at the Top End of Australia, with the announced intention of rewriting his will and then committing medically–assisted suicide. Dinah sees this as one last chance to get some information about her father, who was killed during the commission of a felony when Dinah was a child. When she gets to the Top End, however, she finds that things are even stranger and more emotionally unstable, than she expected, and the nearby murder of an apparent stranger brings everything to a boiling point.

MAY DELICATE BUT DEADLY CLUB SELECTION

Because the original April DBD selection arrived so late, members received signed copies of THE BLACK CAT by Martha Grimes instead – and now this is the May selection:

catofthecentury.jpg Rita Mae Brown & Sneaky Pie Brown, CAT OF THE CENTURY
Bantam, $26.00 (signed first edition)
Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen’s Aunt Tally is about to turn 100, and Aunt Tally's old college sees it as a wonderful opportunity to honor her and do a little fundraising. Plans go forward despite an impending blizzard, but then a board member disappears, after it's discovered that she withdrew (but replaced) $25,000 from the alumni association's account. The board member's car is still on campus, and police find human blood near the school's stables; it's up to Harry and her sleuthing companions, the cats Mrs. Murphy and Pewter and the corgi Tee Tucker, to find out what happened, and why.

Parnell Hall, THE PUZZLE LADY VS. THE SUDOKU LADY
Minotaur, $24.99 (signed first edition)
Cora Felton, the Puzzle Lady of Bakerhaven, Connecticut, is big in Japan. Her latest book of sudoku puzzles has just made it to the top of the Japanese bestseller list, displacing Japan's Sudoku lady, Minami. Minami comes to the United States with her 16–year–old niece to meet Cora in person, but someone's killed before the meeting can take place – and Minami becomes determined to prove that she can solve crimes just as well as Cora can. The book includes four sudoku puzzles and two crosswords by New York Times puzzle editor Will Shortz.
