Set against the rugged beauty of Portugal's stunning Algarve coast, Blood on the Vines is a gripping mystery...with twists, secrets, lust, and a rosary that refuses to reveal its secrets.
Five strangers arrive at a secluded villa overlooking the sea, drawn by a promise of indulgence, escape...and perhaps more. Pedro is brooding and layered as a Touriga Nacional wine. Chloe is sparkling yet fragile as a chilled bottle of Vinho Verde. Luca is smooth and seductive, like a Chianti with a touch of bitterness. Jack is bold and rugged as an American bourbon. And Maria is fiery and dark as a Syrah wine in the full sun.
By morning, one of them is dead - sprawled beneath a blood-stained sheet.
What began as a night of wine and pleasure spirals into suspicion, betrayal, and fear. Each guest has something to hide - and as tensions rise, it becomes clear that the truth lies buried deep beneath the vines, deeper than anyone expected.
At the centre is Pedro, heir to the Ferreira estate, haunted by a past he cannot outrun, and a curse that refuses to stay buried. As tensions rise and loyalties fracture, the group is forced to confront a chilling question:
:
Was this a murder fueled by jealousy? Revenge? Or something far more deliberate?
It's a case of whodunit... and no one is talking.
As the wine flows, so do the lies...until the final, devastating truth is revealed.
Some secrets refuse to stay buried.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Pedro Ferreira was raised at Quinta da Ferreira, a vineyard in the Setubal region of Portugal, where every grape held a secret, and each vine a memory. As a child, he learned that vines, like people, need pruning-shaped, cut back, sometimes bled-to bear their true fruit. In the quiet rows, he discovered his own difference, his sexuality fermenting in silence, a private longing that ripened as slowly as the grapes he watered under a punishing sun.Years later, when Pedro entered Villa Misteriosa-or the Villa of Mystery-a whitewashed sentinel perched on the cliffs of the Algarve, he finds not only desire but also uncovers something more hidden beneath its floors, like a heartbeat waiting to be discovered. The echoes of his ancestors' smuggling suddenly shine through in his own hands, glittering and poisonous.Five strangers gather beneath its Moorish arches: Pedro, as brooding and layered as a Touriga Nacional; Chloe, sparkling yet fragile as a chilled Vinho Verde; Luca, smooth and seductive like a Chianti with a touch of bitterness; Jack, bold as a rugged American bourbon posing as wine; and Maria, fiery and dark as a Syrah in full sun. Their night begins with intoxication-wine, lust and reckless laughter-but by morning, one lies dead.The villa's British owners, who returned unexpectedly, stumble into horror. Secrets unravel like cork pulled from an over-aged bottle. Throughout the pre-trial, suspicions between the five strangers swirl like sediments at the bottom of a glass. Who is the killer- and why? It's a case of whodunit. and no one is talking.The truth hits with the shock of bitter tannins on the tongue, sharp, undeniable, and final.Justice, imperfect yet unavoidable, is served. Or is it?
