Guest Review by Lena

THE VALE VINEYARD KILLER presents with an historic tragedy. In the present a reprehensible act takes place. Shortly thereafter, a heinous incident occurs followed by a horrific discovery. Later another ghastly event happens. What, if anything, connects all these situations? All hell breaks loose exploding into bewildering mysteries and spine-tingling trepidation. Subsequently, perplexing conundrums and high pressure suspense leads to a dynamite finish you’ll never see coming.
