A Cyclist’s Guide to Villains & Vines

When expat bicycle tour proprietress Sadie Greene guides a group of sophisticated seniors on a stunning trip in northeastern France, she expects some twists, turns, and sudden stops to sip the Riesling, but not a detour leading straight to murder in the latest sparkling armchair travel mystery from Ann Claire. Sadie Greene and her Oui Cycle crew vow to wow her most discerning private group yet with a trip they will never forget. It won’t be easy. The Silver Spinners, six globetrotting seniors, arrive with thrilling tales of two-wheeling adventures. Sadie worries she’ll fail to impress such worldly travelers, even with the backdrop of Alsace, a dreamy region of rolling vineyards, delicious cuisine, and fairytale architecture. Sadie is dead wrong. Her group is stunned, but not for the right reasons . . . Trouble starts when a guest crashes into a corpse on a solo midnight ride. Or so she says. But when a body isn’t found, Sadie hopes it was all a bad dream. She aims to reset the mood with a fun, sunny day pedaling through the vineyards. However, an impromptu detour ends in a crash, and a dead man spills out of a shattered wine barrel. With the Silver Spinners as key witnesses, prime suspects, and dangerously eager to play amateur detectives, Sadie finds herself entangled in chaos. Determined to catch up to the culprit, Sadie will have to stay the course long enough to reach the truth before she heads for a fatal collision with a cunning killer . . .
