About this book:

Winfred and Sylvie are keeping one eye open for the menacing villager who knows too much and another on the dismal bank balance of their bookshop-café, The Novel Eatery. Their side-hustle isn’t exactly legal and now someone knows their secret. The news of a wine-themed reality television show set to film in the village sends the inhabitants into a gossip-fueled frenzy. But behind the cheerful clinking of glasses, tensions bubble. In a village like Riviersvalleij, nothing stays buried forever.
